If you could make a magic wish for a futuristic gadget or high-tech innovation, what would your item do? 
Submitted by Red Pen.

A wristwatch with a video phone, IM interface, mail, web and camera.

How did you meet your current, or most recent, significant other?

We met on ICQ. How romantic... :)

How do you take your tea or coffee?
Submitted by Vasquez.

Coffee - either black or with some milk.
Tea - just the way it comes.

It is too warm.

I had coffee at midnight.

I cannot sleep. (Duh!)

I am not motivated to do anything.

I am sweating like a pig.

Pigs don't sweat, by the way.

I have to towel of my desk.

One week from now I will be married for one year.

Is it getting warmer?

JPod ist not as good as Microserfs.

The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plains.

The rain here stays mainly in the clouds and denies us the refreshment we crave.

There is still light at the McDonald's. They should have closed down 6 minutes ago.

The coffee was not a good idea.

The light from my notebook attracts mosquitos. The open window gives them easy access. I provide easy access to the food they want. I am too slow to kill them before they sting.

There are ultimate collections of Do-It-Yourself video tutorials for
Internet entrepreneurs. Finally you can learn how to create and manage
your own web pages and enhance them with professional 3D covers and
other web graphics - all created by you, without ever paying a designer
again.

Thanks, Spam.

I am too close to making a video right now, this is scary.

Floyd Landis used illegal substances to win the Tour de France. Anyone surprised?

Nothing is more 80s than Beverly Hills Cop II. Really.

What was the highlight of this past weekend?

Last weekend I went to Anzere with my family to watch the Hillclimp car race. Pictures to come.

Microserfs

Douglas Coupland

I ordered Microserfs and jPod a while back and yesterday they arrived. So far, I am halfway through Microserf and I love it. The bloggish style of writing speaks to me in a way my wife does not understand. But then, she doesn't understand why blogging speaks to me the way it does. ;)

What's the one CD that will totally remind you of the Summer of 2006?

Crazy

Gnarls Barkley

Or even more likely:

David "The Hoff" Hasselhoff - Jump In My Car

Now that I had time to play around with Vox - I have to say, I really like it. It's overall very intuitive and quite pretty. The WYSIWYG editor is a bit spooky to me, though - I'd like to be able to switch to code mode, but I guess that's not what the main target audience is looking for.

This morning, a mighty fine surprise was waiting for me in my inbox. The VOX invitation. So far I had a good look around, but no time yet to try out all the features. It sure looks like a very sweet application to me.
