I don’t pretend to be much of a soccer fan, but [[Diego Maradona]] is just about one of the coolest figures of the last 30 years. Just imagine taking Italy by storm, and in particular Naples, with sex, drugs, and one hell of a dance routine. Enjoy this gem.

I had a few “moments” with Facebook over the past couple of months. I was digging all the new tools they were brining in with the open API, they even created one for WordPress.com posts. But when folks start to talk about Facebook as an LMS, I find it hard to keep myself [...]

I’ve been grooving on writing documentation for UMW Blogs over the last couple of days. In fact, I’ve donned the Sony headphones and been grooving continuously on [[The Roots]]’s album “Things Fall Apart” which does a beautiful job of quoting old school rap while setting the standard for alternative Hip Hop, truly a masterpiece.
