BSOD

Several years ago, Bill Gates was demonstrating a new Windows product, I believe it was Windows 200 or ME, something like that. During a portion of the demo, when showing how infallible the Plug'n'Play program was written, he got the infamous Blue Screen of Death when the program crashed. Although it was quickly cured, it just goes to show that even Chairman Bill was not immune to this dreaded problem. Today's site is one that shows not only have computers become a part of our life, but so have those BSOD's.

The site is called Daimyo.org, Affinity for Infinity. It is a blog-type of site, but buried in it are pictures of computers from all over with the BSOD showing in all of it's glory. From a Circuit City Music Station to the Nashville Airport to the 57th Street Subway Station in New York City, here you can see those screens in all of their glory. Some are quite unique, and some are ho-hum everyday. I really liked the Original Blue Screen one, and the one at McDonald's (Oh great, now I can't tell them I would like fries with that burger).

This is a most interesting website, one that not only shows how computers have integrated themselves into our daily lives, but so have the problems they cause. I'm just waiting for the day when my car runs off Window, and I get a BSOD on the freeway while doing 65. That thought alone gives this site a solid 8 on the Warp-o-Meter.
