Is it sad that I'm more excited about the Feast of Wintervale (the WoW in game holiday) starting today than I am about real life christmas?

MVM Monday!

Track: Until the End
Artist: Breaking Benjamin

Not the best video, but whatever.

Track: All My Internet Friends
Artist: Amanda French
Site: http://allmyinternetfriends.com

Here's the lyrics too, I think the last verse is very fitting:

Monday afternoon I gave a presentation to the staff
Kicked off with a knock-knock joke to liven up the charts and graphs
That crowd
Never laughs out loud

But all my internet friends were tickled pink
They put animated smileys when they passed around the link
They said Hey, girl, here's another awesome thing we found
Sarah Palin getting smacked down
With a Prince song in the background
Better watch it quick before they take it down

Wednesday night I figured I'd go out and buy a DVD
Walked into a store and walked right out again immediately
This sucks
They want thirty bucks

But all my internet friends give things away
They just really like to make stuff even when it doesn't pay
They say, Hey, girl, here's a picture, here's a poem too
Here's a blog post, here's a podcast
Here's a song and here's a lolcat
And an iPhone application all for you

Saturday I had a date with Dave the software engineer
Told him bout the time I got my headphones wrapped around my ear
I swear
He just didn't care

But all my internet friends they listen well
They make sympathetic comments when I say that I'm in hell
They say Hey, girl, what's your status? I say, Omigod,
I'm not sleeping, I'm not eating
I can't take another meeting
With the clean, well-meaning morons at my job

There are those who say I spend a little too much time online
Sometimes I agree, but on the whole I think I'm doing fine
Click, buzz
I feel strong because
All my internet friends are here with me
Saying Love and information want only to be free
And we'll take no crap from anyone who says that they know better
We won't stand for that because we all came here together
We're remaining interwoven
We're a net, and we have chosen
To be knotted tightly to each other
You be client, I'll be server
We won't ever have to be alone

Well, I suppose this will probably be my final post.

Goodbye to Pownce and see ya later to all my friends. Between Pownce Refugees, #Pownce, Twitter and the other services I'm feeling like we'll be able to keep in touch.
I'm looking forward to what Topixz has in store. And I'm hoping that, if this is like the last day of school, then when Joel gets it up and running it'll be like our first reunion.

See ya around!

This site and song could almost be a tribute to Pownce!

Soup.io is taking a little getting used to, but it seems like a great site.
I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way to move the "create new content", "edit mode" and "options" buttons somewhere other than the lower left corner. It's been a while since I messed with CSS so, who knows, customizing the page may just become a refresher :)

Should have been in bed two hours ago. Shouldn't have started messing with Qemu when I got home. Stupid computers.

I'm interested to see what some of the Tech podcasts (mainly BOL and TWiT) have to say about the whole Pownce situation. I know there going to chalk it up to "these troubled times" but I 'm wondering if anyone will take another point of view.
I'm not looking for someone to just bash the Pownce dev team. I'm actually wondering if a host or co-host will bring up some reason that I'm not insightful enough to realize on my own.
Part of me wants to condemn the dev's. But there's a part of me that wants to believe there was some actual reason for all of this beyond the dev's wanting new jobs.

Topixz

I just signed up.

Thanks for the heads up !DownByLaw

Everyone check out what !mathamoz has going on:
"Just to let everyone who sees this know. I've decided to try to carry on what Pownce started and create a new Pownce. I hope to have it up and ready for testing by a limited number of users before Pownce officially shuts down, and then ramp up from there.

I was really getting to like the Pownce community, and I don't quite think the other services fill the void. If they did, you all probably wouldn't have been on Pownce to begin with.

I'm not looking to make millions or anything, I just want the community that Pownce created to have a place to continue doing what it likes to do."
