Lumpy's Corner

A few days ago I raved about the pleasure of getting together with with my fraternity brothers. I promised that it was a segue into the next days rant. Alas, I wrote about something else... And then there was the power outage...Sorry. Let's just say I exercised my poetic license to postpone it.

I intended to talk about another room I frequent. That would be a chat room, specifically the lockergnome chat room.

I have been subscriber lockergnome for years. Not only has Chris Pirillo's E-zine been my largest single source of my online education but the man himself has been more than good to me. For starters, he actually replies to my E-mail s and, almost always, the next day, taking all he does into account, that says a lot.

I have mentioned many times that I love lockergnome. Before we go any further, this is not a "top 10 list". It is just ten selected reasons. I could go on for days about this resource. Here are ten reasons why:

• A list of 6 keyboards for under 20 bucks
• A method to stress test your PC - free copies for evaluation.
• A list of 5 mice for under 20 bucks
• Upload Express
• Not my thing but still kewl - a game PC for less than 800 bucks
• Kewl Stories
• HDClone free edition
• Resource Hacker
• For you online shoppers Price Pirate
• A list of The Chat Room - You can almost always get help here.

Truth be told, I don't know all that much.... I just know where to look.

To Chris and all the Gnomies, Thanks for all the help over the years.

I have often, likely too often, gone off about how great a resource all of the Gnomoies are at Wyldryde.org in the various channels they host. One of them being the person behind this stunt. Before I saw that video this AM, I had already begun this draft. I decided to add this little intro because Chris Pirillo has been mentioned here before and, after viewing it, I just had to... too funny.---

Nonetheless, before Chris' production served as a drafting intermission, it had dawned on me that I have yet to mention one geek of lore here at Lumpy's Corner. Possibly, the worse "how could I ..." in Cyber-history. Actually, I have mentioned this individual here before but only in passing.

I have mentioned many a blogger, author, podcaster and tech gurus here. I mention a podcast almost every show over at Radiostatic.am.

So, a podcaster, an author, a blogger, a tech guru... hmm. He is all of that. Am I leaving anything out?
