You probably don’t want to meet someone who is talking like their brain has temporarily taken a vacation. You take that chance if you meet someone online, and/or through a dating website. There are some dating sites that aren’t quite on the up-and-up. Some of them want your credit card before you can even create a profile for yourself. That, to me, seems to be not-so-legit. You have to be wary of the type of site you choose to look for your future love on.

You want a good online dating experience, right? You might remember the interview we did with Kevin Carmony a few months ago. That conversation was mostly about Linux, but we did discuss his newest project, as well. Kevin is the CEO of Dating DNA, which is what I wanted to talk to you about today.

Dating DNA is the Internet’s central nervous system for online dating. Its patented technology encapsulates all your dating information into a single 9-digit number (i.e. 254-736-844), allowing you to privately integrate all your dating information across the Internet’s social graph. Dating DNA lets you generate 1-click compatibility scores with millions of other people at websites such as Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Craigslist, and hundreds more.
Every day, more and more people are using social networking sites to find new people to date. Utilizing these sites is free, and provides a more natural way of meeting people than traditional dating sites. Dating DNA is the first service to address this trend, by bringing the convenience of sophisticated matching tools to these new social networking avenues.

Dating DNA is honestly a 100% free site! When you fill out your profile, you are creating your DNA… unique information about you. You are given a pin number. Other people who may be interested in you can put in your pin number, and find out how well you match up to each other, based on the answers you have given. This is certainly different than what you are likely used to, which is a good thing!

They’ve made this as clean and easy as it can possibly be. It’s even fun to fill your information in, and check out other people. There aren’t even any ads on the site, which is a relief! Go check out the site, browse some ads, and found out what your Dating DNA is today.

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
