Today in New York, Amazon introduced Silk, an all-new web browser powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and available exclusively on the just announced Kindle Fire.  You might be asking, “A browser?  Do we really need another one?”  As you’ll see in the video below, Silk isn't just another browser.  We sought from the start to tap into the power and capabilities of the AWS infrastructure to overcome the limitations of typical mobile browsers.  Ins … Read More

Pressing Miles Matters

Adobe has a product, which ships in their Web Premium CS4, called Adobe Contribute. I’m playing with it now.

The product seems to be a website/blog editor. I’ve tried some desktop-based blog applications before, and I’ve never had much luck with them. They just tended to be too removed from the web and the website to do everything I wanted.

 

We’ll see what it does for the markup.

I’m giving this guy a shot, and we’ll see what happens.

Adding Fish to Your Diet May Prevent a Heart Attack

It was so bright that I dropped my blade; fell silently to the downy green of the Irish hillside.  The faintest, softest settling of metal upon earth.  And thus, my eyes fell upon her in almost the same way.  My shield and armor became at once too heavy for me to hold up, and I collapsed into the grass.

I felt a hand under my chin, raising my head.  I saw into those eyes, surrounded by jewels, earthly or heavenly, and I felt no weight or movement.  I didn’t hear the screaming of men as they killed their kin or the shrieking of metal as it rewrought itself.  I didn’t hear the quiet of men passing into darkness.  I saw only this creature, terrible and strong, beautiful and brave, sent to end the slaughter.

She stood me on my feet, and, without a word, put me to sleep, yet my eyes were open and seeing.  This she did to all who remained of the Great Clans, some unnoticing of her presence even then.  When the last man was turned toward her, she began to walk away from these hills that we had sacrificed needlessly upon and into a cave at the base of the Cliff of Nordth.  At the mouth of the cave, her brilliance faded to become a halo around her.  Then, we watched in stricken awe as she spoke her first words to us.

“I am Galendri, the Servant of the Skies, and Mem, the god of the Skies, whom I serve, would ask that you cease your ill trust of each other and do him the favor of returning his kingdom.”

Now I’m watching Aqua Teen.  It’s a new one.  I liked it, but I also really wanted to like it.  Meatwad’s big thing is “Off the chain!”  “Do you see the chain, because this was off it.”  Oh, Meatwad.  It’ll be good to get new Aqua Teens going.  Now I just need the newest DVD.  *hint*hint*

Ok.  I’m tired.  I’m going to bed.

If I had been on the ball, I would have a picture to post, too, but I don’t. So, I’ll just post this image I found when I googled “Holy Crap”.
