People Upset Over Fake Core i7 Blame Newegg instead of Counterfeiters

I used to have a sign in my office that read:
Quality
Speed
Low Cost
Pick Two.
It reminded people that although you can get something quickly at a cost, it won’t be cheap. But if you want something cheap and fast, it won’t be the highest quality possible, and if you want something low cost and high quality, it [...]

Because I have a strange desire to be a Cheese Monger

I’m somewhat of a fan of Cheese. I got a hold of some Manchego and it tastes a bit lighter than the sharpest cheddar I’ve ever had, it was inexpensive cheddar, so I’m going to start documenting my consumption of cheese here on my blog. I have a strange desire to be a Cheese Monger, [...]

I have finally been given the green light to type!

After breaking my hand on Christmas Eve, I’m finally able to type. Albeit with considerable stiffness from my left hand due to where I broke my hand, I couldn’t move my fingers for the last 4 weeks. I’m told I’ll still be having a hard time with the whole range’o’motion for up to 4 weeks, [...]

Real-time search of social networks, a top ten list.

Nevermind, it is just one… A real-time episode of Jerry Springer. Maybe a massive car wreck right next to a series of web cameras. I can’t decide, but indexing this fluff into search is crazy. At least let us exclude it completely. Making a business model out of indexing MySpace is such a niche test, [...]

John Michael Higgins Deserves his own Show

I just watched Numb3rs, and I have to tell you, Mr. Higgins stole the show. In fact, I think he deserves his own show. He plays an agent of Department 44 who goes by the name Floyd Mayborne. Apparently he materializes out of nowhere, and always knows some key fact but doesn’t know it at [...]

Could this Apple of Discord lead to a new Trojan War?

I guess there is some rumbling in the warm and fuzzy world of Apple fanpersondom. That is hard to say. Anyway, this story recounts some problems brewing in an Apple store. Personally, I’ve never been in an Apple Store. I looked at the outside of one. But Until recently, I never found anything interesting in [...]

Talk like a Pirate Day! AHOY!

I thought it was interesting enough to write a poem about it:
Pirate poets hear
“Avast! Walk the Plank Smartly!”
On the Haiku Seas

I was going to keep it period by exchanging the “S’s” with “f’s” but I couldn’t create a capital long s. Want to know more about the vulgar language of pirate speak? Are ya villainous [...]

Considering I’ve had people cough on the back of my head while standing in line… this seems appropriate.

It seems that I’ve had all manner of strange event happen to me over the years. I probably would be curious about the person  in this article who walked around New York in a pseudo-biohazard suit. A few strange looks and one direct inquiry later, and it’s just another day.
Now, I’ve stood on queue at [...]

The Internet Always, wait, Never Disappoints. Thanks Fake Eric Schmidt.

Shane Richmond of the Telegraph.co.uk received an email titled “Google Fast Flip has saved newspapers. Happy now, bitches?” and I have yet to stop chuckling.
It is very colorful, so when you go over to the Telegraph, keep that in mind. Suffice it to say that FES goes off the rails [oh, while I'm writing this, [...]

My ability to remember a voice and face lets me discover a new spoof!

So, I have this ability to hear a voice and/or see a face, and I can pull it out of a crowd pretty much anytime. So, I was flipping through the channels while surfing the net looking for research material about a short story I’m writing.
I land on “The Chronicles of Narnia” for 5 minutes [...]
