Been trying Wordpress as an alternative to hosting my posts, seems like a very good platform with lots of tweaking available. Also, you don't have to be a member just to post a comment, which I found irritating about Vox. The only problem i have now is exporting my Vox posts to Wordpress, but that can be hammered out, one way or another.
What will I miss?
Collections, QotD and the edtor.

What is your favorite ring tone?
Submitted by rach.
My tones are custom, baby... yeah! Something played by Joe Satriani or Machinae Supremacy

What's something you bought, knowing it was a total waste of money?
A PDA holder for my car. I needed something that allowed me to confortably place my Palm TX inside of the car since I usually connect it to The Panzer's stereo system. I hate FM radio, there is absolutely nothing there for me to listen, and when there is... there is a 70% chance i'm not driving my car. Cheaper than buying a car radio that plays MP3 and installing it.
Turns out it gets a bit obtrusive (right mirror view-wise) when attached to the windshield and the option to attach it to the air conditioning vent of the car was not stable enough. Anyway, there may still be some use for it, thought it escapes my mind for the moment being.
Following with my Books-To-Read-Queue, I just finished reading this book:
Most of the book deals with the life of 6 persons onboard a deep-sea power station, who had to be modded to be able to survive in this high pressure environment. The crew is composed by rapists, pedophiles, borderline psychotics,
and victims of same, so you might guess the interaction between them might be. Also they get infected by a virus-like entity called βehemoth which, if set loose upon the world, will destroy all of the human race (and the ecosystem), and i'm talking in a bad way. The thing is, everything goes south thanks to fact that the powerfull nations of the world (year 2050) couldn't trust themselves, so they trust the handling of βehemoth to Skynet "Smart gels" (which appear to be some kind of Neural Net). The problem is that the computer has a thing for simpler systems (βehemoth) over complex ones (us). The reason for that, being related to what the net had become in those days and the role of the Smart gels in controlling it.
I can hardly wait to read Maelstrom (by the way, this is the name that the Interweb is called on those days) and see where this leads to, this one ended in quite a bit of hell in a desperate attempt to destroy βehemoth and I heard it somehow gets to enter the Maelstrom and evolve there. :)
