A Thank You To Disqus
As I mentioned yesterday in my video post I just wanted to again thank the gang over at Disqus for the schwag they sent me yesterday. Always kool to get some schwag from a service that you use and really really like. I will wear it with pride.
I have really enjoyed using disqus and cant praise it enough...if from the service itself to the great community/support that is provided.
If you get a chance to add it to your blog or sign up for an account do it...I think it is an awesome service to bring comments a life of their own.
[Viddler] Schwag, Social Geeks, and BarcampKC
Put this little video togather talking about schwag I got from disqus today, the new podcast The Social Geeks, and BarcampKC which is coming up this weekend. Not sure what was us with the lightness/darkness but it is tolerable.

Skyfire : Taking Mobile Browsing To The Next Level
A few months ago I had read somewhere about a new browser that was gonna be coming on the scene soon called Skyfire...It of course grabbed my attention as I was never a fan of Pocket IE and Opera was an improvement but still it seemed like it was missing something.
Well today while I was sitting at work I got a text message with a link to finally download Skyfire and play around with it....needless to say I could not wait!!!! Here is a little chart with some advantages to using Skyfire over the competion.
Sound to good to be true? I wondered myself and have to say I am IN LOVE with this browser! Like it is listed above you can load Youtube...the whole site not a mobile version and watch the movies just like on your computer...I was able to log into my last.fm account and just like you would on your computer system you could listen to tracks and such. how kool is that!
The layout is simple and easy to get around in....I am using it on my moto q that I have with sprint...I am sure it is gonna vary in performance based on what type of mobile device you have and the carrier.
I have only played around with it a little bit so far so I may find some things that I find annoying but my initial reaction is this two thumbs up....maybe what I will do is play for it with a week then come back and give my thoughts as I am sure right now it is way to early to give a real review.
Skyfire is currently in beta and at this time I do not have any invites but if I come across something like that I will let everyone know for now if you have a chance to load it on your phone go for it (I dont think you will be disappointed or if you are just finding out about it now head over an sign up for a beta invite.
So in closing - Love Skyfire so far, stay tuned for updates, and check out this little video that will give you a run down of what to expect.
Hi, I’m a Marvel…and I’m a DC: Iron Man and Batman
Thought this was a funny little video playing off the whole mac vs. pc commercials. Also adding to it is that both movies have been or are being released this summer.

Iron Man : (jeff)isageek approved
Ok everyone I felt like I should give my geek approval for the new 'Iron Man' movie that has just been released. Great Storyline with of course some awesome action! I am looking forward to future movies based on Tony Stark aka Iron Man.
One side not I will say if you get a chance to see movies with your fellow geeks go for it...I feel like a lot of the movies I have caught the night of the first showing have only been enhanced by the presence of others who are into the same stuff I am....a better crowd that just enhances seeing the movie.
Oh also if you do go see Iron Man.....make sure you stay till after the credits...thats all I am saying. Oh and the theater was geeking out big big time...ok ill be quite now hehe
