I look forward to seeing you return to the new and improved M Dashboard in the new future! -M

Mine was certainly an experience. Unfortunately, things are going to be a little slow around here for a bit, but I’ll do my best to at least put up something once in a while. Sorry for the bad news, and hopefully, in the future, things will work out. -M

Personally, I have been ignoring the UMPC and other MID (Mobile Internet Device) market because I can’t stand the Microsoft OS offerings they come with.  This mod is definitely a step in the right direction for functional Apple tablets. Hopefully, some popularity and success with this, along with similar mods, will help push Cupertino to design a touchscreen computer or UMPC-like device. [Engadget > jkOnTheRun]

One day the citizens of South Park wake up and find the internet is gone. When Randy hears there may still be some internet out in California, he packs up his family and heads west.

"Over Logging" really provided some good jokes on all sorts of internet users, the best being Randy’s portrayal of the porn addict. (Hope I didn’t ruin too much)  Anywho, hit the link above to watch the streaming video of the episode, or watch Comedy Central in the late evening for the next week and you are bound to catch a rerun.
