If you don’t frequent ChangeThis.com, you probably should. They play host to many a free resource for the techno-exec style white paper. I recently read through The Beginner’s Guide to Business Blogging, which was actually a good read cover to cover (as most of their guides are). The topics covered helped me with my personal… Continue reading The Beginner’s Guide to Business Blogging

“Looks like he’s heading towards that small moon…”
For USD 299.00, you can get an Episode VI (Star Wars: Return of the Jedi) Death Star LEGO replica. I think that’s a sweet deal! And well…I have a two year-old, so it’s justified too. I didn’t even realize the advancements that LEGO has made in the years since my abandonment of the box of… Continue reading “Looks like he’s heading towards that small moon…”
A Considerate Computer
Microsoft Research tells us about some intelligent software able to make decisions on availability versus message importance. The workforce potentially loses lots of productive time attending to unimportant emails. Worse still, unimportant messages can cut into personal time. This system is designed to do the human part of risk analysis in order to determine whether… Continue reading A Considerate Computer
Pee Your Bed Much?
When I was very young, I distinctly remember wetting the bed. More importantly, I remember why I wet the bed. In all cases I can recall, there was a very realistic dream in which I rose from bed and stumbled into the bathroom to pee. The realism peaked when the warmth of my own urine… Continue reading Pee Your Bed Much?
NETFUTURE: Technology and Human Responsibility
“We are entering an age of spiritual machines. It’s just that he forgot to tell us they would be dumb as hell.” — Steve Talbot Steve Talbot from the O’Reilly Press puts out a ezine from time-to-time (monthly?) called, “NETFUTURE.” I was struck by an article I read years ago in it, and I’ve been… Continue reading NETFUTURE: Technology and Human Responsibility
Batteries Sold Separately
I received the remote control turbo car yesterday from w00t. It looks awesome, though I do have some complaints. The battery isn’t charged upon receipt, which isn’t particularly unusual – just disappointing. More to the problem however, the battery door is secured with micro a screw. Not that I don’t own a micro screwdriver; I… Continue reading Batteries Sold Separately
My Pants are Wet
For some reason, I’m not particularly patient when it comes to drying clothes. All too often, I put on pants from the drier that have not completely dried. They’re not dripping by any means, but the pockets and seams are always damp. Even odder – it doesn’t bother me. They’re not so wet as to… Continue reading My Pants are Wet
Evil Tree (ZoomQuilt)
Matt H. introduced me to the ZoomQuilt project at Evil Tree (great name, but no apparent content). It’s a painting that you’re able to pass into until you eventually loop back around. A bit like traveling through a torus adorned with a seemless mural – you know what I’m talking about…right. Anyway, it’s quite stunning.… Continue reading Evil Tree (ZoomQuilt)
Thup, Thup, Thup…
There is something really awesome about the sound of a helicopter coming up on and passing you. Maybe it’s just the military-style choppers that emit that powerful thunder-clapping with their rotors, or do the news reporters have it too. This morning, a military medical transport (Huey?) flew a few times, low, over the CheckFree campus.… Continue reading Thup, Thup, Thup…
W00t W00t!
At one time, there was only one crack of choice. Today, woot.com products replace the tired old, used goods of yesteryear that were once purchased from the old flame, eBay. eBay still has a place – I still need to sell my woot.com warez to unsaavy individuals, but now woot.com takes first place in online… Continue reading W00t W00t!
