mac vs. pc 2.0
You know those I’m a mac, i’m a pc commercials? (And visa-versa for the ones that microsoft put out)
yeah well this blows then all away.
This is more for the Lifepoint staff…
than it is for me, I think between our staff members we have two iphones, and multiple crack…. err black berries, ran across these today and thought they might be neat little apps to have on the phones.
what?
Somehow this is both kind of sad… and not surprising to me in the least… but apparently “Online game World of Warcraft now offers more secure authentication than nearly every online banking system the average consumer can access”
Are you kidding me? All this for a video game? okay I understand how popular and widely used this game is played… I even know there are people who have made millions (literally, it’s kind of scary) by playing in game and sell junk via third parties… insane I know… but still, this is a bit much isn’t it?

Okay so it was like they took a bunch of photographers and videographers and put them in a room full of legos and geeks….
Sorry for the lack of informative posts lately.

Got RSS?
If you follow more than one blog regularly (or in my case if you read like over 3 dozen blogs), then you might find using an rss reader very handy… there are quite a few out there, but the one I’ve found that seems to work for me is google reader, it’s nicely tied into google, (which I use for a variety of things, ironically not so much for searching).
How it works:
Well it does take some time to set up, you have to add the blogs you follow, you can search by accounts if you know them, or do search strings for certain ones… or if you’re lucky the blog you read has a “RSS” feed button…
Once it’s set up, it pulls feeds (articles) directly from the blogs you’ve set it up with in one hand y to read from spot so you don’ have to go hopping from website to website.
For example, before I started using google reader I had a small cycle… I’d first open my own blog (occasionally to update it) and then from there I’d hit the links to jump over to Pastor’s blog, from his I went to Jeremy’s from pick’s Id go to josh’s then from Josh I’d jump back to mine to hit either Northpoints, or Wade’s.
Now I open up google reader and if there any new posts from any of the above mentioned plus 30 or so more there all in one centralized location.
if anyone has some questions on rss readers feel free to post them here.

Who knew….
Okay admit, if you’ve spent any time online… and let’s be honest, if you’re reading this blog you’re someone who has, you’re probably familiar with emoticons.
Now some people reading this probably don’t realize what I mean by that term, emoticons are those little 
that people use instead of words, or use to convey emotions, (Hence: Emotion Icons, or Emoticons). Most of us have used them at one point or another, it seems like they’ve been around for as long as the internet has… well not quite but almost, ran across THIS ARTICLE from wired about the history of them, or at least the origins.
