As you know yours truly is a guitar hero wannabe. So I'm playing with the idea of recording a song/video called "Give PiNG a Chance", cover of "Give peace a chance". Hopefully whoever hears it will then think twice before saving a GIF instead of PNG. Imagine. And the web will be as one...

Here's the lyrics so far, it's a work-in-progress. If anyone can think of rhyming Web 2.0 buzzwords, please comment.
