Pluto No Longer a Planet? Writely? Web 2.0!August 24, 2006
A story over at zdnet is saying that a current meeting of astronomers around the world decided that Pluto is not to be a considered a planet anymore. It is now to be considered a dwarf planet. I mean, at first we were taught that Pluto was the last planet. Then it became the second to last which really screwed with my head. Now the astonomers of the world are saying that Pluto is no longer to be considered a planet. STOP MESSING WITH MY HEAD SCIENTISTS! I hope schools keep teaching from 20 year old books so kids keep believing that Pluto is the last planet. Some day my great grandchild is going to correct me when I mention Pluto, or even worse, they wont have any idea what Pluto is. Oh well.
I tested Google’s beta online word processor writely, last night. It seems like a solid application. For those of you that dont know, Web 2.0 is coming out. This includes new better looking websites with cleaner graphics and smoother operation. You will see applications no longer have to be installed. Instead you navigate your web browser to a webpage. There are current applications to replace many of the programs in Microsoft Office. I also saw a Microsoft Visio replacement that looks pretty promising.
Anyway, Web 2.0! I can’t wait for it to come out. I gotta call comcast to see what I need to do to upgrade to Web 2.0.
