W00t! The Kindle 2 arrived today.

February 27, 2009

This family used to read a lot. I stopped reading anything but textbooks when I moved out to DC. But I got a Kindle 2 for my significant other… well, it arrived today. She likes it, but didn’t get to read a book on it yet. The sample she downloaded sucked her into the Kindle [...]

February 26, 2009

That is the tagline at WorkoutBOX.com ; where online fitness is simple. And it really is. You can pick out a schedule and intensity and it lays it out for your, each day has a description and video of the exercise if you aren’t up on your technique. I’m starting a routine based on the [...]

Another element of Overseer in the "One that Got Away" category.

February 24, 2009

Total Immersive Vision is of interest to me. The ability to put on a HUD (heads up display) and operate in a VR (virtual reality) environment has been fascinating to me since I was in highschool some 20+ years ago. I’m feeling old now. And was part of my Overseer project which I wrote about [...]

HyperAd.com – Advertising Network with a Twist.

February 24, 2009

I’ve had HyperAd in various stages since I first purchased the domain. The project has finally found a platform that it will run on and I am looking for a coder to extend the service. If you are familiar with OpenX, feel free to contact me.

RXright.com – a Wiki for Medical Treatments

February 23, 2009

I obtained RXright.com to create a social network (Wiki) to advance medical treatments with real world examples and not just text-book/medical studies. I want people who are afflicted by various illnesses to write about the illness, treatment(s) and outcomes to create a database that is not hindered by corporate or political influence. RXright.com will launch [...]

Weapons of Mass Displacement?

February 23, 2009

So, I guess Bush turned down a job as a Greeter at Elliot’s Hardware Store, but he finally found his Weapons of Mass Displacement when he purchased a can of WD-40.

KTM Sport Enduro Zero Emission Motorcycle

February 23, 2009

Not much to say about this, but I wanted to post another example of follow-the-source: Crunchgear – GizMag – Hell for Leather – KTM or Crunchgear – Reg – (who kills it without a link to the source… probably KTM) I want an electric cruiser… and I recently stumbled across one that is nearly identical [...]

Hershey moving Peppermint Patty Plant?

February 20, 2009

Apparently to cut costs, Hershey is moving a plant, terminating 300 people. Pretty bad in this economy.

RealityHacker.com – a Photomanipulation Site

February 19, 2009

RealityHacker.com is a domain I was going to use for a photomanipulation website. I once saw a mashup of a real photo with some very exacting Adobe Photoshop work, and from that point on, I wanted to see more. Unfortunately, the manipulation is easily detected, so the site is going to focus on discussing how [...]

MixWar.com – Social Network dedicated to creating music.

February 18, 2009

I obtained MixWar to create a social network of musicians who would create high quality music and compete for prizes and fame. From there, music compilations could be purchased with proceeds going to the artists in the form of micro-payments after costs are subtracted. Since the purchase of MixWar.com back in 2005, many things have [...]

OculiSecurity.com – a home surveillance company with a twist.

February 18, 2009

I’m doing some research right now, but I purchased the domain and will update this site when OS launches. If the market research shows that its model will create a solid business, it will launch the beginning of 2010, or late 2009.

Economic Planning, can it work, or will it be gamed?

February 18, 2009

I don’t normally quote Wikipedia, but it is a good place to start when attempting to research a topic and since we are revisiting socialist economic theory, we might as well revisit Wikipedia and its social documentation theory. So, we have Hayek and Mises who are discussing the economic calculation problem, and we are going [...]

Storage of Electricity still off, but Green Energy gets closer.

February 17, 2009

ArsTechnica.com reports that a Professor at MIT gave a lecture about a new catalyst that can duplicate the photosynthesis process used by plants. This is something I had been thinking about, but obviously do not have the means to make it possible. Along the same lines as using mitochondria as a power source for nanomachines [...]

Why does the DOW matter to the Press and Public?

February 17, 2009

This is just a quick thought. Awhile back, I had wondered where/why Kanjorski made an offhand comment about the Money Market accounts being drained of 550+ billion dollars. After looking around, I couldn’t come up with anything that wasn’t reported and I put the issue into the “look deeper” category. I don’t necessarily want media [...]

ARGUS-IS : The one that got away.

February 13, 2009

Back in 2001, and earlier as a less pursued thought experiment, I started researching a project I named Overseer. That particular project, because I don’t have TOP-SECRET clearance [and every project that requires military equipment also requires higher levels of clearance] never went very far. I simply don’t have the resources to make things happen [...]
