In one of the paragraphs below, I mention that I prefer to link out in certain ways (like this). I'm planning to do a lot more linking out in the future, in other ways. In the meantime, please take a gander at today's…

Blog Drive-Bys

I spotted the article, CDs have their 25th birthday, over at goldcoaster's blog and it threw me for a loop. 25 years! CDs are older than my younger son. It's no wonder he can't comprehend what it was like to use things like cassette tapes and worse, the 8-track tapes.

It reads almost like a sponsored post but it isn't. The article titled "Movies On My PC - Now This Is Cool!" at Edge Media is all about using the CinemaNow service to buy or rent movies to watch while traveling. It's a legal alternative to downloading movies via the different bittorrent websites. The CinemaNow service sounds like a winner.

Arnie at Critical Assumption wrote a fairly long answer to his own question, Who is Ron Paul? I know who he is and I've written about him in the past. Of all the candidates available, I hope Ron Paul wins. I couldn't care less which party he's affiliated with.

Marielyn at Tiny Signs hasn't been writing a lot. It's kind of a let down for me because I expected her to be more active with it. I think her recent article, Life after College… Life after PR Update… explains it a little. I suspect she's a little disenchanted by Google's delay in updating pageranks. Personally, I wish pageranks didn't exist.

Snoskred wrote a pretty interesting article concerning spam with "Spam - NEVER Unsubscribe! NEVER Reply!" Spam is the bane of the Internet. It's interesting to note that I don't receive much spam at all at the email address I use all the time yet my other email address, which I never use except to receive notifications from PayPal and other services like that, gets hundreds of spam messages per day.

Although I won't be repeating their efforts, I noticed I was tagged with "The GAB Tag" by Stine at Mother's Home and Sandee at Comedy Plus. Others may pop up soon as well. It's not that I don't like it, I just prefer to link out in different ways. The viral link thing I did recently, in my opinion, wasn't very effective because there wasn't much relevancy involved.

I didn't have to look far to find interesting stuff to read at ·:[ LifetoSuccess.com ]:·. One article that caught my eye, Credit Score: Rebuilding Your Score After Bankruptcy, should be interesting to most Americans, especially those who've had credit problems.

The very first post on the page at I'm Happy Fish presented "What a Wonderful World", which included a shadow puppetry video that I found quite enjoyable. It's amazing to see that kind of talent.

Jayce posted an inspirational sequence of cartoons, quite religious in fact, at Jayce Ooi’s Paradise. Food for thought to all the Christians out there.

Check out the Picture of rowboat and beautiful sunset in northern Norway. Beautiful doesn't begin to describe it.
