Ryan Boren is a very nice guy (I’m assuming) who works at Automattic, a company that makes some very nice tools to protect us from spam. Ryan has also been a part of the development community for Wordpress, the software that runs this blog. Ryan is a new media guy, all about the blogging, the twittering, the Web 2.0′ing, the social networking and whatnot. Very social.

Ryan supports some of the cost of the blog by suggesting books to buy in his sidebar. I don’t know if these are books Ryan is currently reading, or books that Ryan has recently looked at on Amazon, or just books that Ryan thinks his readers might like. But I will say this - somebody has been a little too social.

Herpes 4 Everyone

Ryan, I don’t know who you’ve been talking to, but I don’t think Hydrogen Peroxide will cure Herpes.

I love learning new and useful things. You know how the Google “I’m Feeling Lucky” button immediately takes you to the top site result for your search? Firefox does the same thing if you type your search string in the address bar, with no http or .com - try just typing “amazon aly hawkins” in the web address bar (not the google search box), and you’ll see what I mean.

Web surfing now reaching warp speed.
