I'm not really sure what to write about right now.
My main objective was to post about OpenDNS.
If you don't really know what DNS (Domain Name Service) is, it's how a web browser knows to go to "facebook.com". Basically, you use this service as a giant directory, like a phone book. Most people use the DNS servers that your internet provider sets up for you. So what is OpenDNS? It is a free service that sets up custom directory options. The thing is, your internet browser can only go as fast as the DNS. Most DNS servers, like comcast's, are overloaded. Comcast doesn't really care if you have a slow DNS server because you are just a dollar sign to them. If your Internet seems slow, you'll probably ask them to up your bandwith (which means more cash for them) when you don't really need to. OpenDNS is dedicated to providing the best DNS service, all for free. Not only that, but you can customize what websites you allow access. That means, pornography blocking for the children (or anyone).
I've been using OpenDNS for about a year now and couldn't be happier. One of the most useful facets of OpenDNS is their statistics and caching. I am able to speed up the more common websites that i visit. Check it out at www.opendns.com
On a little side note, you need to go visit my friend's website. He is an awesome artist. Like, awesome. www.Revolution77.com

thanks for the promo! this is an awesome post. You should write about this kind of stuff more often (if you don't have anything else, i guess) I'll have to check this out. oh and i just quickly read through the new Windows update, it seems it will help its performance alot, and possibly we can add those other two sticks of RAM.
