Facebook

My facebook just got a Microsoft hangover. Seems that Microsoft's investment is causing options to be less desirable (at least less likely to become more lucrative) for employees. According to the Wall Street Journal this is likely to make hiring top talent mroe difficult. Odd situation for a social networking site to be confronted with.

Entertainment

Recently I introduced myself to the world of online worlds. Secondlife gets a ton of credit in the news but you wouldn't believe the number of worlds out there to explore. I can take exotic mini-vacations anytime I feel up to logging in and waiting for a download or two. Admittedly some cost money, some are games, and some are just not that interesting to me.

Regardless of the downsides I have found that they let me connect with old and new friends all around the world and some quite close to home. For anyone having a boring social life, connecting online may have become a bit more interesting. I know living in an area populated by retirees, having an outlet to another place and people balances my life.

Moving around my world

I have a couple blogs now. Trying to get the feel for what I want each to represent. Sorry about the long silence. I will begin speaking up now.
