Yes, there are times you may want to read content on various pages at a later time. You may not want to bookmark them. You could be in an airplane with no Internet service, or on a train commuting to work. So, you’d want to read them as offline content.

I got this MySpace message a few weeks ago from Jonathan:

I just saw your YouTube video from last year talking about BATG. It’s funny because I was on the 5th season of the show. Don’t know why you’d turn down the show just because you’re married. You know it’s not a dating show, right? On my season one of the guys and at least two of the girls were in relationships when they went on the show. It’s weird that casting contacted you about being on the show since you were already somewhat famous. Some of the beauties have had some fame before doing the show but none of the geeks did.

Recently, there was a discussion raised on Geeks as to whether gun control will help prevent crimes like homicide. Anytime this subject is brought up, tempers tend to flare and passions run high.

I received an email from Kevin recently, telling me about a very cool new piece of software he’s found. He writes: “I have found a program to show you and the community. It is called Camspace by CamTrax Technologies. Camspace is a freeware program that lets you play your video games by using any object. All you need is a Windows PC (Mac and Linux systems coming soon), a webcam , lots of light, a wide variety of solidly-colored objects to use as controllers, and a desire to play any game you want with Camspace. There are games for Camspace and there are controllers for games popular computer games. It is right now in open beta. If there is not a virtual controller available for download, you can make your own.”

Is Windows Explorer just not doing it for you? Maybe the Finder isn’t doing it for you, either. Or, what if the file manager in Linux isn’t your thing? Either you put up with all of these, or you download muCommander.

I did my best to run through the tutorial of Echochrome. It’s a game that came with my new PSP 3000. The music is actually really cool. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to live inside of an M.C. Escher drawing, Echochrome will show you.
