I Didn't Know That
Since the day I was birthed I was destine for one thing. Well, one thing in my family. Other than being awesome the stars were aligned for me to be the family IT man. I see it as a torch being handed down to me from my dad. Just like when Superman died, 4 or 5 superman like beings flew out of his butt and took his place. The only thing, these new super beings only possessed one or two of Superman's unlimited powers. For example there was "Man of Steel," he looked like the Tin man on steroids. Well, that is me -- I'm not tin nor on steroids, nor did my dad die. He is just drunk.
You see when I was growing up my dad was the handy man of the family. He fixed cars, toilets, lights, ceilings. If it was broke he could fix it. He can still do that today, but he is a little more wobbly. When I reached the appropriate age I was called upon to fix things. But I can't fix everything. Like the "Man of Steel" I only possess some powers. My power...technology.
I don't know how it happened, but it did. I got a computer and people assumed. I don't even feel I am that technologically advance. I'm just a regular guy who stays on top of his stuff. I can barely code a web-page (although I am getting better), I never installed, ran, or even messed with Linux (Although me know what Linux is might give me a slight advantage over some) .So, here is my list of technology based items that I assume people know, but they don't.
1.BitTorrent
People! It isn't 2000 anymore, stop using Kazaa. This is file sharing. As of right now it can't be beat. If everyone used bit torrent we would be living in a peaceful world. You here me terrorist? bit torrent.
2.del.icio.us
Awesome web page. Awesome service. If you are a bookmarking, pack-rating fool this is for you. Any web page you stumble on and like just save it to del.icio.us. You can also check out what other people are saving.
3.RSS
Really Simply Sydication. It is like having a magazine or newspaper subscription, but online. And instead of receiving it up daily, weekly, or monthly, RSS keeps you up to the minute. You can subscribe to countless web pages, CNN, woot, or even my page.
There are some more things of course, but I just don't have the time, maaaaan.
