Things I read today that I found interesting and worthy of comment September 6th:

  • The Guild – Do You Wanna Date My Avatar – LOL. MMO geek out! Check out "the Guild" video series for some context if you aren't an MMO player.
  • Sony Planning 3D Televisions For Late 2010 – Funny to see this when both Sony and MS announce they aren't going to even include HDMI cables in their console packages anymore as a majority of their consoles don't even get hooked up to HD sets. Now going to try to push to the next "wave" of video tech? Seems like a misguided waste of Sony's limited funds as they continue to bleed at the bottom line.
  • God of War 3 Demo "Unlikely" with GoW Collection – Cool. This is a PS3 game I'll definitely be picking up as I missed all of the GOW rage having moved to the 360 and selling my PS2 prior to GOW1's release.
  • Google Chrome Turns One: Has It Been a Success? – Viable browsing alternative? I pretty much live in Chrome now only doing work related items such as OWA in IE and nothing in FireFox.
  • RSS Is Dead, So Is The RSS Fund (Dan Primack/PE Hub Blog) – Read this article via RSS feed. Screw Twitter.
  • Google Wave Arrives This Month: Are You Ready? – I'm hoping that this will serve as a more "open" social-networking platform with some actual power improvements / innovations seriously missing in current platforms. I participate in various communities and would like a place to bring them together and make them usable for me. We'll see. I hope to get an invite, but given I'm a "nobody" in the social network, blogosphere world, probably won't get in immediately. If you get in and can send invites, think of poor ol' me, eh?
  • PS3' Platform-level Support For Online Functionality Was 'Late,' Sony Says. – Just using this article to advise that I finally bit the bullet and picked up a PS3 Slim. The $299 price point is the right price point and I've been enjoying some beautiful BluRay goodness, particularly Watchmen Director's Cut. Picked up a used copy of Resistance and it is a decent game, though I find the mismatched use of the trigger buttons on the PS3 controller a serious pain after years of Xbox 360 controller usage. Controller also feels flimsy, but not going to harp on it much as it certainly could just be "different", not "worse". Doesn't really matter as my Xbox will still be the gaming platform of choice except for platform exclusives of which there aren't many for the PS3.
  • No Fun League Has Chad Ochocinco Poised to Delete Twitter Account – No idea what this article is about, but just realized that if you want to ensure I don't read your article, put "Twitter" or "Tweet" in the title. I'm Soooo over caring about this over-hyped, under-interesting site / topic.
  • I don't feel safe with WordPress, hackers broke in and took things (Robert Scoble/Scobleizer) – I updated upon reading. Not a problem as I think I may have all of 5 readers, so not worth anyone's time to hack me :-)
