Ask Homer (and remember HotWired)

I have been reading .Net magazine since Issue 1. They are now 100 issues old. Happy Birthday .Net! Anyway, this month they have published 100 Sites That Changed The Web. Included in that list, was HotWired – which I haven’t looked at for ages. So, off I went and came across the story of Karin Spitzer, a young fashion entrepreneur who shows it’s still possible to have a great idea and make money on the web [She Built a Business in ‘No Time’ ]. Of her product line, this one is my favourite.

HotWired also points me to the BBC News web site and this delightful gem of corporate embarrassment for Fox: Homer Simpson, cartoon character and a role model for millions, has been caught telling consumers to hack their DVD players [BBC].

On this day…
