This is a little piece of the internet that I hold dear to my heart for various reasons. First off I’m a nerd, I’ve been watching G4tv since it was tech TV oh such a short time ago. Nightly I used to tune in to the Screen Savers, a nightly recap of the tech stories that happened during the day, I used to go to slashdot on the regular and I envied Kevin Rose for being that kid on my television with what I considered to be a sick job.

To say that I’ve lived these last five years as more of a digg reader than a contributor are true. While I find I’m not using digg and its robust community that much I do however digg stories I like and use it to get much of my day to day information, from RSS to my screensaver from the digg labs I’ve been hooked for a long time.

If your not familiar with digg.com then I would hope that you take the 5 minutes and see what its about. Then if your further interested then visit digg.com subscribe to their feed, watch the weekly podcast and maybe even become a user.

p.s. bucket list goal is to be friend with Kevin Rose. (yes I’m a nerd like that)

There have been about ten gazillion tributes to MJ in the um, week or so since his death.

This one is actually rad. Yes, rad.

Studio Brussel has created an eternal moonwalk – a site where users can upload videos of themselves moonwalking and forever be looped into, well, an eternal moonwalk with MJ himself.

Enjoy it here.
