So Lance Weatherby turned me on to this guy, Paul Stamatiou. He’s 21 years-old and has been blogging for a few years now. He’s a CS student at Georgia Tech. He blogs about web technologies and posts gadget and technology reviews. He’s built a solid following and was even in the Technorati top 100 for a while.

Basically, he blogs about cool stuff he’s interested in and he does it very well. His blog is insightful and well written and has established him as a voice in the web startup community. Marketing and ad agencies now contact him to promote their clients’ products. He was even featured in a Nike+ ad.

It’s a testament that anyone who has something good to say can establish themselves online. My favorite posts of his:

• Thoughts on Startups
• A Realistic Back to School Guide for College Students
  
• The Next Level

A U.S. Navy ship will try to shoot down a malfunctioning spy satellite in the coming days. The satellite, which malfunctioned and became uncontrollable shortly after reaching orbit in 2006, contains a toxic fuel that can be deadly if inhaled by humans. The Pentagon is worried the satellite may crash into a city or other inhabited area resulting in fatalities or injuries.

Some may see this as a response to China’s shooting down a weather satellite last year. The U.S. maintains this is just a precaution to ensure our safety.
