This  is a great conversation about the taskbar, system tray, etc.  I love it!  I guess I've had it all along too. In the comments, there is a small debate about where people put their taskbar.  I put it on top.  Maybe...

Maybe not relevant for my blog, but it should be said. Everyday is a busy day, but today I must stop what I'm doing because I'll never forget the tragedy of September 11, 2001.  This is my moment of silence.   Read Scoble...

Lots of folks have been talking about Meyers-Briggs -- I remember taking this in high school and it's amazing how little things change -- i'm still an ENTJ -- according to this test, I'm VERY E and moderately NTJ  -- same as how I was back then...

A big hearty welcome to Jason Warren to the blogging world, hopefully this 'startup' will be better then the last ;) For starters, get an RSS feed ;) -- welcome aboard.

Yesterday I was able to party at bumbershoot - an amazing Seattle experience I must say.  Wilco and REM headlined that evening and both put on amazing shows.  If you have not heard Wilco before, you should definitely check them out. ...
