A waste of bits and bandwidth

alltop.com is an interesting site that is like a news stand for RSS feeds. Probably not the most interesting site for those who are well versed in the art of RSS but a good place to find feeds.

Google Docs has also added the ability to publish to a blog. I’m giving it a go to write this post as the WordPress admin site is frustrating for me. I don’t know if it’s my server or what but it’s painfully slow. I really do want to keep blogging but the site and my desire are basically aimless. There is no set direction for what I want to do with it. I do know what I don’t want to do and that’s blather on about work and going about my business…

Well let’s see if I have my settings right…

So I have been following this Microsoft/Yahoo! merger with great interest. Having a deep-seated hate of all most things Microsoft, I’m not interested in them taking a run at Yahoo!

Truth be told, Yahoo! is kinda of dead to me apart from del.icio.us and flickr so I have had a change of heart. I’d actually like to see Microsoft buy Yahoo! This would prove my theory that in the world of Steve Balmer, one plus one can indeed equal 1.5.

The story has cooled in the weeks since Yahoo! rejected the offer. I assume that most others have moved on to more topical subjects. Balmer seems happy to sit and wait for Yahoo to run out of options before swooping in.

In news of a more personal nature, I am not enjoying work these days due to melon-headed co-workers, a set in stone feature set and a hard drop date.

On the positive side, I’m due to be getting larger than expected tax refund and have naturally gravitated to the Apple store lest my thigh become burned with all that cash. “One MacBook Pro please”
