Twitter’s OLDER link will return
Twitter suffered a Denial of Service attack and had to temporarily remove the link to preserve performance on the site. Reported on the Twitter blog. You can follow the mundane details of my day on Twitter.
What am I doing to my brain?
The mental exercise of jumping from one project to another at a rapid pace with breakneck deadlines is like making a bootleggers turn at interstate speeds particularly when the environment of each project changes slightly or even drastically such as CF with MS SQL to CF with MySQL to ASP with MS Access. I’m sure this either good for me or the seed for a tumor.

Remember, once you win a prize, you cannot win any others so make sure you are entering for prizes you want.
These monitors are USB monitors and some people have expressed concern that lag due to limitations of USB speed could make these monitors less than adequate for gaming. This video by ndíyo shows some great potential for these monitors. I found it very exciting! Of course, Engadget has some words.
