Colin has tagged me with a meme (some others Steve Smith, Kyle Neath). Unlike most people I tend to like participating in these memes. So, without further adieu.

It’s finally happened and I think the red guy downstairs is putting on a jacket. The boys at 9rules have finally launched version 2.0, I’m glad they took their time though.

This is definitely a 2.0 version and it’s one of the best implementations of recent techniques I’ve seen in a very, very long time. The design genius Mike Rundle and the Master Jedi coder Colin Devroe have worked their magic to create an easy to use, vibrant, and extremely powerful system for the 9rules network.

The key feature? Absolutely, without a doubt, the ability to create a list of favorite sites right on the 9rules homepage without having to log in or sign up. They’ve basically created a RSS reader for people that don’t know what RSS is.

I’m sure the boys will be posting more about it in due time but I just had to say something.

Well, there is no need to be curious any more. I recently was pointed to a fantastically written and down right hilarious website/blog called girlspoke.

Girlspoke is written by several women across North American and Europe, there’s even a Canadian (hey Tessa, give me a call ;^) No topic is taboo and no avenue is left unturned when these ladies start talking. Speaking of talking, and yes that sounds weird to me too, be sure to check out the first girlspoke DrunkCastâ„¢. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this is just the first of many.

Yes, it’s finally happened, theÃœberGeeks.net has finally been redesigned. It’s been in the works for way too long but now is the time.

What’s new?

First of all, we got rid of the comments. It’s definitely a bold move for a blog but we did it. Bask in our confidence.

Obviously the design and colour palette has changed. We wanted a cleaner, easier to use, pared down site so we could focus on getting out some good content and some wicked new features. What are these features I keep talking about? Well, keep checking theÃœberGeeks.net because we’re working adding features daily over the next little while.

We’ve also added a featured category for the more promenant posts whereas the less significant posts will simply show up in a list below our featured articles.

Oldies but goodies

We didn’t get too crazy though, we still have RSS feeds and all the familiar categories such as movies, music, Apple, applications, Song of the Week, TV, CSS, blogs, and web development — everything a geek could want.

Check it out and let us know what you think.

I’m not sure how many people read this site or how many of the people that do read this site read theübergeeks.net but there was a bit of an announcement made there yesterday.

Yes, it’s true, I am now one of the überboys. The übersquad, as I like to call them, is a terrific group of guys and girls, namely, Colin D. Devroe, Chris Fehnel, and myself. Don’t ask me who the girl is because it’s a long story and I’m sure Colin wouldn’t be pleased if I told everyone ;^)

With that all said and done I’m up to three blogs, one column (sort of), and entirely not enough time in the day. Of course I’m still going to be posting here and on the Screenflicker Developments blog. Be sure to check out theübergeeks.net and add it to your RSS feed reader.

The other added benefit of being an Ãœbergeek? I’m now part of the 9rules network. Woohoo!
