3 Tips For a Contented Life
Will IE Survive HTML 5 and CSS 3?
Is 3-D a Fad or a Stepping Stone?
It’s all the rage. All the cool studios are doing it. What’s not to like about 3-D movies and TV? Well, a lot, but I just don’t want to be a naysayer. It’s possible that 3-D will stick around this time for it to develop into something still only seen in SF movies.

When Life Gives You Lemons, Monetize the Lemonade
In “There is no ‘free’ lemonade: In giving drink away, girls ignore rules of economics — and sum up what’s wrong with U.S.”, writer Terry Savage takes to task three young girls (plus nanny) for setting up a lemonade stand and then giving away–not selling–their wares. I must admit, I’m torn by the two views of the world, the two mindsets, this conflict represents.

Quick Thoughts on WordPress 3.0 Beta
![blue-xl[1]](http://tib.cjcs.com/files/2010/04/blue-xl1.png "blue-xl[1]")
A few days ago I installed the current beta release for WordPress 3.0 (WP3), which is scheduled for general release in the next few weeks. I wanted to see what the “gotchas” might be as well as get a head start on getting my themes up to snuff. Here are some of my impressions with getting things up and running.
Factigamy – The Exploitation of Non-analytical Thinking
Factigamy is fun. You act like a carnival barker, spewing forth out-of-context “facts” in a cynical display to prove any damn thing you want. You should try it. Win friends and influence people.

Clouds Around My Silver Lining
When it comes to computing with “the cloud”, I’m of mixed opinion. Conceptually it’s brilliant. In terms of how it’s being implemented, not so much.
