If your a child of the 80’s Speed Metal era of dark, fast songs that invoke of images of destruction, war and anager but now you’re in your early 30’s, you’ve got kids, a wife and a good job; the new Slayer album Christ Illusion is probaly the last album you were planning on buying. Until now.
Listening Christ Illusion makes me feel like I’m 17 again when the world could FOAD. It’s the lost album in between South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss which I think were their best ever. I went off to college when Decade of Aggression came out and the whole metal thing was becoming lame. Nirvana, Alice in Chains and even Dave Matthews Band were my new thing. But this new album kicks my a$$. Tight, Angry, Fast and Loud. Not bad for a band that can be by time-standars considered Classic Rock!! But Classic Rock my a$$ these guys emit an aura of forocity that could bring down the apolypcs on the junk that’s on the radio.

At some point durring the day I derailed my thought process and ended up on amazon looking for books on Atom - (dev site: Atom or Wikipedia: Atom).
Essentially Atom is the next version of RSS and I’m just trying to see what’s ahead in technology.

The day started off with me trying to creat a Ajaxified version of Wired’s (Issue 14.09) “Build a Web 2.0 Startup!” from buzzwords article. The gist of it is that you grab some key words from 4 list lists: Market, Hyped Tech, Service and Architecture and then apply them to this sentence:
It’s a [Market] site that uses [Hyped Tech] and [Hyped Tech] to do [Service] in a [Architecture ]. We call it [Pun or Misspelled Word].
For example they use Music, Ajax, Streaming, Recommendation and Social Network to get this:
It’s a Music site that uses Ajax and Streaming to do Recommendations in a Social Network. We call it LAST.FM.
So my dream Web 2.0 that google will buy for a million dollars is this:
It’s a Reviews site that uses Ajax and Tagging to do Recommendations in a Social Network. I call it gotFoo.
Anyway I wasted an hour trying to build a web page that would let you drag and drop the key words on to the sentence using script.aculo.us. So if google doesn’t buy my site tonight I’ll give the acript another shot tomorow.
