Going back in time…

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Now this struck me as a joke however this is dead serious. A German publishing company (Random House, part of the Bertelsmann group) is going to print & release the German Wikipedia on paper. Who in their right minds would want a fully cross-indexed, clickable online encyclopedia on dead paper?

I really feel this is a step in the wrong direction. We have to move away from publishing and printing on paper anyway. I do realize that a lot of people still prefer paper version of documents and books but an encyclopedia is all about references and links. Just click and you’re there!

Would you buy a static, dead version of wikipedia on paper?

Ring of the lords

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Oh this is cool in a geeky kind of way. I’m not the marrying kind however I could be suckered into marriage by a set of these rings. Please don’t disturb me as I’m dailing random phone numbers popping the question to every woman who answers the phone. Meanwhile you can order your set of wedding rings right here.

Wedding rings for the geeky nerds
