I’m enjoying this new site so much! Cre8Buzz! is a friendly network of talented people trying to spread the word of their projects while making friends and contacts. Because of the ranking system, and the communities, it is easy to quickly find talented people in many fields. Two things I noticed immediately: the warm welcome [...]

Messenger Primed for Mercury Pass
January 13th, 2008 
Tim BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Messenger primed for Mercury pass This is exciting! I remember watching the Apollo missions as a kid. When the Eagle landed in July of 1969, one month prior to my ninth birthday, I could hardly contain myself. I remember watching the (mostly) men in the control room cheering and shaking [...]
The First Android Apps: From a Linux Startup!
January 13th, 2008 Tim Introducing the first Android prototype – USATODAY.com A post on Mashable brought this to my attention. It should be no surprise that a CA Linux startup, A La Mobile, is the first to offer a suite of apps based on Android, Google’s mobile platform.

Ashley Spencer Memorial Fund
January 10th, 2008 Tim I’ve only been on Twitter about one month. In that time, it has impressed me greatly with it’s potential for building relationships in such a simple way.

Long, Misty Days
January 6th, 2008 Tim Fog 4 Originally uploaded by dragonci If my external environment matched my inner one, I would be sitting in a not-so-comfortable armchair in a 19th century Victorian house in dire need of repair. Looking through the open french doors, I would see this misty, dreary landscape of barren trees; old trees with strong, gnarled branches [...]
FaceOff: My Mind’s Data is My Data
January 3rd, 2008 Tim Reading some of the comments on the Robert Scoble v. FaceBook issue this morning, which centers on an issue of great importance for all of us. It seems FB suspended Scoble’s account because he was using a script to gather data from his account. FB’s IDS probably caught the activity and took automated action. But [...]

Comments OffIs the World Catching on to Open Source?
January 2nd, 2008 Tim I followed a link on Twitter this afternoon from Dave Sifry, founder of Linuxcare and Technorati, to this post by Glyn Moody. Sifry has started a new service, hoosgot, that allows you to post a request to the web at large for anything: information, stuff, a job, whatever. You can also see the stream of [...]
