Some words from our Admin and a great time waster!
Hey there AtA fans! I have been crazy busy lately with my 9 to 5 and I have taken on some more writing gigs. Maybe not as busy as our AtA mascot hanging on the left but still busy nonetheless!
I am still doing my 3 articles a week for MakeUseOf.com and I have been averaging 1 eBook a month for them as well. I just posted my second post to GeeksAreSexy.net. If you want to check out my posts click the following links:

And I was quoted in the New York Times recently but I never linked you to the online article here:

And as promised here is today’s great time waster. A goodie brought to my attention by GAS writer Brian Boyko:

Man, I just wasted an evening on that. I do take issue with some of their answers though. The first graphical web browser, as anyone in UIUC’s CS department will tell you is NCSA Mosaic, not Netscape as they said. I know Mosaic became Netscape, but still… it just isn’t right. Fun game though and you get a chance to win a guitar or t-shirt.
