I tried Kluster's new project Knewsroom out yesterday. At first I almost didn't sign up. It just seemed like a Digg ripoff and it almost didn't grab my attention but then I read that you can use points called Watts to invest into stories that you like. If the story makes it then bling-bling ka ching you get a return on the amount of points that you invested. On top of that you get a share of the ad revenue that the story generates in the form of cash flo' money. Once you reach a certain amount, they pop it on a Master Card.
So I signed up and took a risk and dumped 80% of my Watts into a story about the release of Fedora 9. Don't hate, I like to support linux, even though it isn't my sweet rolling Ubuntu. I also put small amounts into a few other stories but at least I didn't brown nose and drop a ton of Watts into this story about the launch of Kluster's new project Knewspaper, Duh! Your on it, you know this already. I mean come on, that is stupid and so many people invested in that not because it was a good story but because they wanted a high return on what they invested in. I hope silly trends like that don't continue.
I think the concept and idea behind Knewsroom is solid as camel poop in the snow and I hope it keeps churning along like Thomas the Train but honestly, lets hope that people don't continue to take the safe road to glory. Lets use our Watts to get the goods out there.

Ubuntu is Coming to the Fort
Thanks to our resident tech guru actionM, Print Fortress is switching over to Linux. The new version of Ubuntu to be specific. We need a more secure, productive computing environment and Ubuntu is going to be the perfect solution.

Actions are easier if you've narrowed the field down to an obsession that is right for you.

I currently have become additcted to Twitter, I'm not the only one. I just love simplicity and simplicity loves me. Make something simple with the ability to be creative and productive - I'm in.
Look to your right, yep I've already integrated Twitter. Try it for yourself.
Memories
I'm sitting here working and it is absolutely beautiful outside. From time to time my mind wonders and I recall good memories from the past.
In doing such it made me realize that we should constantly be doing things that we love, create more good memories of sorts. Take risks or do things out of the ordinary to stand out as a unique experience.
Live life to collect memories. Good memories are the most valuable thing that we can collect. Give good, remember good.
