Updated my browser at work to firefox 4.0.1, having issues with Delicious and probably other things too. Updated internet explorer at home... not liking it either. I just want to do things quickly and while these changes may eventually make my life better, today I am just annoyed.
Had a chance to do some reading today at work about HTML5 and CSS3 and responsive design in web development. Hoping I'll be able to jump into some training this summer to get hands-on. I really want to keep improving my skills so I can keep on creating.

Cloud Fails
So today, the unofficial day Skynet tried to terminate the human race (revised Terminator time line courtesy of the Sarah Connor Chronicles) Amazon's cloud failed. I find that somewhat funny.
I'm not in the cloud quite yet...here is a list of posts about it: (http://blog.hootsuite.com/notes-on-todays-outage/) I use twitter not hootsuite (although I like Social Oomph), I don't like foursquare(see my previous post on privacy and robberies) and I'm not in the other affected tools. I think Amazon has a great business model (scale up as you get bigger) but its failure today shows the weaknesses inherent in these tools.
I agree that the times are changing; I use twitter more than email, I use facebook more than the phone, I text to my kids instead of call them. But, I still remain firmly grounded with the understanding that stuff breaks, I need to know the basic tools and a sharpened pencil can still be useful.
