AOL News of right now!

AOL has changed their name...to AOL!!! In an interview at the Web 2.0 conference, AOL CEO Jonathan Miller said they were changing their name from America Online to just AOL, because in other contries, believe it or not, they don't like it being AMERICA online. In other AOL news, they haven't decided yet if they should partner up with MIcrosoft. The other candidates were Yahoo and Google, but Yahoo is too much like AOL, and Google is too cool for someone like AOL. Microsoft is a good choice, since they are both the kids who sit alone at lunch. Also, they shipped out 660 million CDs this year, and it seems about a hundred came to me alone! In other other news, No More AOL CDs has collected 374,647 discs, and are a third there on there way to 1 million. And thats your AOL news roundup!

iFizzle up you browser!

Want a cool looking blog, something unique and different? Well, this guy sure did, and he succeded in his quest for one of the coolest and innovative blog I have seen in a while. It is done in flash, which usually is a bad thing for me, but this one is an emulator of sorts to a Mac OSX. It has that sort of interface, you can listen to music via iTunes (good for podcasts?), read his blog posts through documents he had written on his Mac, and look at his photos through iPhoto. Of course it isn't a direct emulator of the OS, but it is pretty neat for a blog standpoint. Be sure to go check out iFizzle, here!

P.S. The 6th episode of my 60 Frames Per Second podcast was released this week, check it out here.
