<p>Recently, I was at a large IT themed convention, and the guest speakers of the day were the Mythbusters. Adam and Jamie in particular. They came on, talked about the show, and how IT is so important to them for what they do. They showed us some unaired footage of their show, as well as answered the audiences <q>awkward</q> questions.</p> <p>There were no pictures permitted in the auditorium, so i have nothing to show for it. But it was an interesting experience none the less. They claim their worst episode was the one with the rotten pigs in the car. They told us lots of little stories about the filming, idea design, and history.</p> <p>What a neat show.</p>

These past few days, I have added a forum to Paradox Designs. This isnt like your average forum, though. This is much cleaner and better.
When you first visit the forums, you should notice how uncluttered it is. This is what I intended. Most modern forum software tries to shove all the content at you at once, whereas this forum lets you choose what you want to see. The emphasis is taken away from individual forums, and instead put on tags and popularity. The forums now become more like categories.
But thats not all. Signing up for a forum account also gets you a comment account on the blog. You can post, edit, and track your comments. Thats right, one account for both services.
I hope you guys enjoy it, and please report any bugs you may have.

Digsby, my IM program of choice, has added Facebook chat support. For those who don't know, Facebook recently added a chat feature to their site, and, although clean and well built, it required you to stay on facebook or have a browser open. This was crippling. Now, since digsby supports it, you can chat with your friends at any time.
This demonstrates something remarkible about digsby. Yes, there are many other all in one IM clients out there, but Digsby does something none of the others do. They update frequently and add new protocols. Facebook currently says that
We do not support 3rd party chat applications at the moment, yet digsby works perfectly.The update didn't go flawlessly for me, I had to download and install a copy the old fashoned way, but other than that, it was smooth.
The only real problem i can see with the current implementation is that my Facebook contacts aren't mixed into my normal list. Digsby claims they are working on it, so hopefully it will be ready in a few days.

Well, I had been using Xchat for about a month when the license expired, so i had two choices. Continue to use a free version of xchat, or switch to another client. A lot of people in the channels i hang out in reccomend IRSSI, so i gave it a try.
