That gap between sleeping and real life issues.

December 29, 2009

I woke up today with a thought rumbling around in my head. I haven’t looked into it yet, but I thought I would write it down here. It happens from time to time; just when I wake up… just before I fall asleep… before and after Tae Kwon Do… when I’m SCUBA diving… when I’m [...]

Microsoft says it can recover the data of Sidekick users.

October 15, 2009

Well, this is a change of direction. A good one for Microsoft/Danger if it works out. We don’t know yet how much can be recovered. It took a bit of time at any rate. I’m only writing about this because of the amount of coverage in blogspace, I read TechMeme often enough to know that [...]

MixWar.com, another example of where I want it to go.

September 29, 2009

MixWar.com has been a project which has been in limbo since I acquired the domain. It basically is a ladder where creatives compete for prizes and other awards. I can’t find or write the correct software for this, but what I want it have is a simple site that allows people to challenge other artists [...]

Genetics, Epigenetics, and You.

September 23, 2009

So, I’ve always been fascinated by genetics. Some of my concepts are considered far outside mainstream science. I don’t discount the theories until they are proven to be impossible to be reality. Some of the material presented by NOVA scienceNOW falls in line, like paternal and maternal genetics impacting future generations and the impact of [...]

Two more "The One that Got Away" discoveries.

September 23, 2009

So, as a creative, I’m usually coming up with ideas. And these two have been sitting here in my library for 15+ years. First comes the idea to use Infrared emitters to prevent screeners from recording movies at the movie theaters. A Japanese company is intending to use the methodology identical to what I had [...]

Just because you don't see them, it doesn't mean you aren't being followed.

September 22, 2009

In an article, paper, and series of commentaries regarding the same; Anonymity takes a hit based on research that re-identified the movie picks that were anonymized by NetFlix for their NetFlix prize. Paul Ohm, who writes on “Freedom to Tinker” which is a blog about technological policymaking, has spurred the discussion into just what it [...]

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

September 22, 2009

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 [...]

Please help your local libraries…

September 20, 2009

If you don’t, I’ll have to get a Kindle or other ebook reader for my wife because she reads over one book a week casually. Since May, 26 books have fallen to her reading habits. Since I don’t like the Kindle anymore…DRM issues, DRM issues, Changing functionality after purchasing. I’ll take anything other than a [...]

Project Indect could be the most Orwellian sounding project yet.

September 20, 2009

So, in an effort to out do the MIT team, it seems the EU has put together Project Indect. The more I read about this, the more intriguing it becomes. Tying it to the DNA database in the UK, full time monitoring of the entire society for abnormal behavior… we are on the cusp of [...]

MIT students create detection software called Gaydar.

September 20, 2009

Frankly, there is absolutely no reason for this piece of technology to exist. No point to it. A persons sexual orientation is not something to calculate on a large scale unless you are going to use it for dubious acts.

Basically that seems to mean that anything from spreadsheets to presentations to notes contained in a doc anywhere in Google Apps will be popping up in search results. In two weeks. You have two weeks, according to “Marie” who is listed [...]

Talk like a Pirate Day! AHOY!

September 19, 2009

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 [...]

BabbleBlog.com – Because people talk.

September 18, 2009

I’ve relaunched BabbleBlog.com today. It is still the basic configuration, but you can have a WordPress blog of your own hosted on my server(s). This is just one of many services that I have launched over the years but didn’t advertise. Since I am about to complete my MBA, I figured now would be a [...]

So what happened Google?

September 16, 2009

After 7 months of Blogging on Blogger.com’s services, I suddenly stopped seeing any traffic in my analytics. Doing research into the matter, I found others who had gone through the same thing, but their traffic returned. So I gave it some time. It never returned, and I was slowly being dropped off of the indexing [...]
