Web 2.0 - v.2.0

My question really is: Why? But more importantly, why!?!?!

A college roommate of mine has become quite successful in the west-coast intarwebs consulting scene. Apparently, he was the project manager for a new Web 2.0 application called Boxbe.

The gist of it seems to be that you're too busy to even look at who is sending you e-mail. So now, you have people for that -- or a Web 2.0 app, anyway.

I dunno, I mean... I can sometimes get 100 pieces of e-mail a day. Maybe it's that I'm a particularly fast reader, but I have no trouble sussing out which e-mails go right in the trash, and which ones I'll keep.

Seems to be yet another fantastically engineered solution to a problem I didn't even know I had.

The Motorcycle show in D.C. was ok.

Sadly, the only pictures I seem to have are of random women at the train station, and at the show itself. Weird.











I also have a picture of my friend, Russ, who, for some reason, always comes out looking like what you'd imagine the real-life Special Ed would look like.













YAAAAY! I've got mail!





I think I was most impressed with some of the least spectacular hardware there. The Hyosung GT250R is actually a pretty decent looking package. It doesn't have the attention to detail or finish of, say, a Suzuki, but at $3500, it should provide some stiff competition for the other bike that impressed me, the new Kawasaki Ninja 250R

Of course, the MV Agustas always make me wish I had a spare $25k-$30k lying around. It might be more frustrating if the pedestrian Suzuki GSX-R that I ride, sucked.

Fortunately, it doesn't. Not even a little bit.

I am kind of amused by the random women pics but disappointed that I didn't think to take any of you (or us) on Saturday. What was I thinking? Not thinking? Sheesh. 'course I'd rather see you than a pic.

I have a picture of us from, oh... About 12 years ago. You look the same. I, do not.
