…what’s it mean to you?
Today AOL has released their AIM SDK as reported here.
So what’s this mean to you? More or less that other products, gAIM, Trillian, et cetera, will have better support to connect to the AIM Oscar network. However, it could mean the beginning of useless plugins for AIM as well. What are your thoughts?

Looking for a place to store files, but don’t have a Gmail account or don’t know how to use the Gmail FS Shell Extension, then look no further than Box.net where you can store up to a gig of files online, for get this… free. Looks to be a pretty slick interface and they have payment options if you’re interested in having a larger file store out there.
This beats good ole Strong Space at the lower level tier plan, but can’t compete when you need 160 Gigabytes of online storage space. Granted, they serve two different communities of interest, the Box for online file storage, Strong Space for massively large rsync backups.

It’s nice when people say, “Hey Dan, I think that this article is pretty cool, you should write something about it.” Well, since apparently a certain cool gal that I know decided to suggest I thought that I would take her advice and it turns out, she was right, very cool article.
In this article from the Online Sun, there’s news that the US Military is beginning to look into science fiction inspired technologies for transportation. The idea that they propose, which isn’t necessarily a new one, deals with the idea of inducing a large magnetic field that to the best of my intepretation would allow them to “fold” themselves through space and time, arriving at another point in the space time continuum, allowing them to slide faster than theoretically possible (i.e. they should melt :-)). So, according to this article, the US Military is hoping to have something operational soon that will allow them to travel to and from the moon in mere minutes (granted, if they were going to Moon, PA, it would be mere seconds) or to places such as Mars in a few hours rather than a few years. I’m curious as to how complex their destination solutions have to be to be precise that they would arrive at the location that they are intending to go to. And what then once you’re there, how does one get back? Nonetheless, thoughts? concerns?

Which OS are you?

I think that this fits pretty well, but hopefully I’m all patched up to SP2 with optimized kernel

Need I say more?

Can we just say that this is something that I didn’t learn in Mr. Patrick’s AP History class when I was in high school?

Sky Diving from Space

Let’s just say that I’m amazed that he made it past the speed of sound, alive, without any protection. I wonder what that sounded like.

All I have to say is that this boys got moves…
