So the first 10 years of 2000 are gone and we are on to twenty-ten.  Exciting!

Things I am hoping for or expect to see this year:

  1. Great year for our country to get out the mess it is in everywhere (we wont get on that soapbox).
  2. Better / improved year for one self — don’t we all pray for this related to #1.
  3. Social networking trends become old hat. (Please just make it all stop)
  4. Year of Google… Watch for them to take a bigger stake in the world stage.  Remember, do no harm!
  5. Microsoft loses even more face; even though Windows 7 bested Vista.
  6. Firefox becomes the leader in the browser market.
  7. Adobe becomes the most hacked / tool-set leveraged to do damage (PDF, Flash, Flex, etc).
  8. Year of storage.  This will be the year that spinning media will start to see real loses to SSD and other tech, which will be good for us all.
  9. CPU + GPU will become APU.  Watch for new types of “super” uses of these devices to make things change on the computing stage.
  10. AI.  Refer back to #4.

Dec 31, 2010 I want to see what if any of these ideas come true during this coming year.

Lots of hope and prosperity can be there, just if we don’t mess it up as usual.  Right!?  And we say humans are the smart ones!

I hopefully everyone has a happy, joyful and peaceful Christmas.

I know I am looking forward to this years with Skylie.  It made it so much better with snow showing up at the beginning of the week for her to enjoy and be out of school and extra 3 days.

Merry Christmas

The Guild and Felicia Day have done it again!

They just released their next music video.  Felicia sounds great, not to mention that this is what all The Guild fans have been waiting for!

Season 3 starts August 25 on XBOX Live (right now the only reason I can see I want an 360 right now!).  How is this for a early gift to get you ready for the new fall season!

Support them by buying the MP3, the entire crew of The Guild deserve it.

MUSIC AND LYRICS BY FELICIA DAY AND JED WHEDON

LYRICS:
Hang with me in my MMO
So many places we can go
You’ll never see my actual face
Our love, our love will be in a virtual space

I’m craving to emote with you
So many animations I can do
Be anything you want me to be
Come on, come on, share a potion with me

CHORUS:
Do you wanna date my Avatar
She’s a star
And she’s hotter than reality by far
Wanna date my Avatar?

You can type commands
I’ve got slots for what I hold in my hands
Don’t care what’s in your character bank
How ‘bout, How ‘bout a little tank and spank

Grab your mouse and stroke the keys
In cyberspace there’s no disease
Pick a time, send a tell to me
Just pay, just pay a small subscription fee

CHORUS

Single white human,
Looking for group
My stats so high
Don’t be out of the loop

Got an uber-leet staff
That you can equip
Close your mouths ladies
This is pure nerd-nip

I’m a pixel-based fantasy
A man who is stoic
I hack and slash
Who the heck’s more heroic?

Check me out:
Cloth armor
Fits me like a glove
Just twitta a time
And I’m ready for love

Hang with me in my MMO
So many places we can go
I’m better than a real world quest
You’ll touch, my plus 5 to dexterity vest

What role do you wanna play
I’m just a click away night or day
And if you think I’m not the one
Log off, Log off and we’ll be done

Got to love geeks!
