eBay buys StumbleUpon

Posted by: Geoff In: Technology

Google sucks up Panoramio

Posted by: Geoff In: Technology

Google has bought Panoramio. I have to admit that this doesn’t come as a huge surprise — this is something that Google really needed in their world.
For those of you unfamiliar with Panoramio, I strongly recommend you check them out. It’s a neat service, providing the ability for people to geo-locate photographs based on Google [...]

Where does he find these wonderful sites?

Then there’s Pacman’s skeleton. Reminds me of the Looney Tunes skeletons.

Add another to the trilogy list

Posted by: Geoff In: Pop Culture

It’s not every year that you see two great trilogies come to live. Heck, it’s three so far! Today, thanks to my friend Robyn, we saw the Shrek trilogy come to life.
