Today marked the official deep-six of social blogging site Pownce and as such I downloaded my entries and comments for storage. In the recent weeks I've begun to acclimate myself with Tumblr, a suitable replacement, and to continue my brief Twitter updates My only fear now is that given the current market and finance conditions either Tumblr or Twitter meet a similar fate as Pownce, gobbled up and shut down.

Across town in our little electronic village my friend Jason (http://browsersnake.blogspot.com/) is undergoing gastric bypass surgery. I know that his wife is nervous, justifiably so, but she's still found time to write about the experience (http://bypassjourney.blogspot.com/). I hope everything goes well with the surgery and he makes a speedy recovery.

Little did I know but after the surgery you can't chew gum. With that in mind I think Jason should start using a new trademark line such as: "Its time to kick ass and chew bubble gum I don't chew gum." Duke Nukem would be proud.
