MySpace really irritates me. Sure, I’ll admit it, I do have a MySpace account; and I’ll even go as far as saying that I was fascinated by it at first just because of the amount of people who had a profile. I did the typical, “Oh my god! So-and-So! I haven’t seen him in ages!” thing. I was even known to post a “bulletin” or two. But the awesomeness quickly faded and I realized what a hack the site was. The problem is that not everyone sees it that way and that’s bad because people are getting the impression that MySpace is an excellent model for a “social network”.

As I was scanning the links over at Digg, I came across something that made me gasp. Leo Laporte apparently posted at TWiT that he wasn’t sure if TWiT’s netcast would continue after he comes back after a break. If you’re scratching your head about TWiT, or netcast, just know that it’s one of the best netcasts (podcasts for the late adopters) available. It hosts many of the personalities from the old TechTV crew. Meanwhile, someone has started a site to convince TWiT to stay alive.

After a snafu with an old site, multiple revisions and interspersed client projects, the new incarnation of weswillis.com is now online. Unfortunately, I never took the time to do mundane things like…backup my database so everything that once lived there has been lost.
So, here it is. And, yes, I’ve already scheduled routine backups.
