This article from Spiked got slashdotted, but I still think its interesting to discuss. According to the article, what used to be consider "Geeky" is now considered mainstream. The biggest evidence they use is Return of the King winning 11 Oscars, including Best Picture. It is interesting, how over time, things get integrated into society and become more acceptable. So the real question is, what does it take to be a Geek and a Geek-friendly society? Be a linux head who writes viri all day? Hmmmmm ....

I am absolutely addicted to iTunes Music Store, and I know a lot of people (both Mac and PC users) that use iTunes and the iTMS quite a bit. So hear is one for all of you: Tune-Watch. Think of it as a DVD Price Search for iTMS. It allows you to view the 10 newest releases, the 10 newest additions (catalog items), the top 10 songs, the top 10 albums, and Featured/Exclusive items. It also allows you to build your own customizable listing. If you like to see thing's in your own manner, and your an iTMS user, this site is for you. They just need RSS feeds (already requested). Update: Guess what, Tune-Watch uses the Apple RSS feeds to get the info for the site. I did not know the existed. Duh! :)

I showed someone this site that is not part of our community or the tech community at all. This person is not a gamer. The person they know as 'John' is pretty different side than the 'John' or 'Starfish' that this site reveals. There are things in my life that I do not reveal on this site on purpose, and others that just do not make it in to the blog entries. But it made me realize how skewed this site was towards my tech/gadget/game/rock portion of my personality. The bigger question I think that I came up with was it wrong to keep those things out of the site, and the answer I came to was not at all. The "John that does Office integration for Notes" in the Lotus community and the "Starfish" in the gaming community are all part of who John Head is as a whole. Food for thought for Monday morning. Oh, and to the 'IM f
