I needed PhreakNIC.

It was wonderful spending some time with so many friends that I had not seen in quite awhile. People from my past that I have lived with, worked with, hung out with, and even dated where present. Much fun was had by all.

I intend to write up a detailed review of PhreakNIC which will appear on my blog at some point.

This is so exciting!

Decius, kudos.. I still have not digested all the changes yet. Its great! I am so damn happy that now I can use MemeStreams to have a discussion, post rants to my blog, etc.

With every new user and every new feature, MemeStreams becomes a more compelling and powerful resource. I think its growth in the next year is going to suprise everyone involved in making it happen.

The future is going to bring good things.
