I came across this article from Read Write Web and found it interesting and worth the read. Its pretty exciting to see the plans of what companies like Google are doing to make online computing more robust and accessible. Hopefully Google will get the kinks out of its issues with formatting though. It took Microsoft awhile to do that with Word and I still beat my head trying to get layout the way I want. So I will be patient. Having the abilities of Office online for free just cant be beat so keep it up Google. Take a look at the 2009 predictions here.

Being a complete dork and one that enjoys shooting people in the office as well I decided to fabricate a Steampunk inspired Nerf gun to make it even more fun for me. I know I am not the first to do this and I was definitely inspired by the many submissions online. Using old parts from my kids toys I was able to create some slight modifications to the already cool design of the Maverick Nerf gun. I did have some help from my son as well. This will be a fun modification to my hyjinks at work and hopefully this will inspire the creative geek in you as well to join the many who have tired.
