E3 2010 Microsoft Press Briefing Live Thoughts
As usual, I like to watch all of the E3 press conferences (for at least the big 3 hardware makers). Here’s my stream of consciousness on Microsoft’s briefing today. Call of Duty: Black Ops – I’m not a big CoD fan. Looks ok. I’m sure fans will love it. Metal Gear Solid Rising – Cutting…

Bookmarked: GetSocialLive.com
“Hey Zark, how do you get those social bookmark buttons at the bottom of your blog posts?” I get asked this quite frequently. I use WordPress.com, which has worked great for me, but the social bookmark button concept is not something they have built-in.
