Superlative...Hmmm.

xkcd - A Webcomic - Superlative

Really gonna try to be at least a little more than the Least Interesting Man in the World.  If nothing else I have pretty specific tastes in beer, give me a Scottish Cask condition 90 shilling and I can drink that all day.  That is possibly slightly interesting. 
Beer Styles - The Bitter Family - News and Features - Ratebeer

Now, for geekier interests, if the XKCD comic isn't enough, I am presently rocking 3 of the 5 browsers on my computer at once.  Firefox, Flock, and Chromium.  I am running OS X and like to break up my work flow between different browsers and virtual desktops spaces.  So I have Choosy running in the background tossing different kinds of links off to different browsers.  I almost have things properly separated out so social sites and tools are only in Flock.  The links that I get from peoples tweets go straight to Chromium, since it has no addons and is very light weight to quickly open a site.  And, Firefox takes the bulk of the rest of my browsing.  Safari and Opera Unite are still finding their proper place in my work flow pantheon.  But the built in web server in Opera Unite looks mighty interesting.

More interesting things to come I am sure, BTW I do speak French...well at least I did in high school.  Au revoir.

The Annual 'Oops I Haven't Updated This in Forever' Post

I am back, from my walkabout in the wilds of corporate business, and what I have seen would freeze you dead in your tracks. But, I have also been to the islands of social media and they are fertile, with opportunity everywhere.

Corporate America had me setting up backup solutions for all over the US, Canada, and China. I produced FAR more official documentation and unofficial notes than I ever care to do again without owning the company. And, while all this was going on, with oh, so much more exciting stuff, I was balancing keeping North of the Falls cash solvent, and setting up Tomorrowish and developing a new project for Twitter called TweePLayer to integrate live twitter chat and time shifted shows.

But, now I am on my own back into the entrepreneurial sector full time. I am going back through all my old sites, refreshing, re-purposing, and reminding myself of where everything is and what to do with it. There will be more info in the future about the restructuring of all my sites, and I will be announcing a twitter project this or next week to help solve some problems that led to #cnnfail.

See you soon, or at least sooner.
