 Mainstream Google search requests (I am partially mainstream -- I was looking at whether my KaZaA lite links still worked, they don't, KaZaA killed them through lawyers -- LOL). One thing that bugs me are people that don't post pictures of themselves. I want to see people that are writing, in the news, etc. A picture helps in a virtual world.

This almost seems like the biggest holiday in the US. Almost everything is closed and nobody is on the roads. Interesting.

No resolutions this year. I have already broken all of them. ;->

Scoble notes that there is a worried post on Slashdot about offshore software development. He says this is the fault of free software. To a certain extent he is right, but this is part of a larger trend: the commoditization of computer technology. When the printing press was developed, the major firms that developed and operated printing presses were the darlings of princes. That lasted 20 years before these men and their companies faded from prominence. What went wrong (or right)? The technology and the knowledge necessary to operate it became a commodity. This cylce is evident in many other life changing technologies. What really matters is what people do with the technology once it become inexpensive.
