Perhaps this is old-hat. Or maybe I’m just waking from some dream in a cloud (pun-intended). It could even be the case that I should keep my mouth shut and be happy that the Chromebook I’ve been using was free and came with no strings attached. But damnit…. This CR-48 is shockingly, painfully incapable in [...]

Today, as I so often do, I acted on impulse. What follows is a letter of as-yet-to-be-determined consequence that I sent to Dave Pell at tweetagewasteland.com. He’s an entrepreneur and blogger… the rest you can figure out for yourself by clicking on links and googling like the rest of us. I’m adding this guy to [...]

Some of the folks who I speak with on a regular basis would probably label me as an environmentalist. Whether that’s true or not isn’t up for discussion, but i suspect that those people would probably, if asked to name names, would probably add me to a list of individuals who would be likely to [...]

this is lame, but w/e… i thought somebody might find it useful. i feel like a bad ass because i just used the ‘man’ command in Bash in a serious way. i thought about just looking for an explanation about how to do this stuff online, but instead i typed ‘man zip’ to figure out [...]

How Dropbox saved my Kindle and kept me from destroying my Google CR 48

2011 . Mar . 27

Okay…. so I have been living my life from Google’s Beta Chrome laptop for the last couple months… And it’s great for the most part. Boots fast. Does most of what I need it to do. But it doesn’t have a freaking file browser… and that’s a big problem: The unfortunate bits come into play [...]

Cellular machina. Nano machines for assembly purposes.

2011 . Feb . 19

Someday in the not too distant future we will use nano-machines to replicate our bodies… oh wait, we do this already. Seriously though, watch this video! around ~2:30 you get to see DNA ‘spinning as fast as a jet engine’ through an existing nano-machine. What happens when we can give instructions to these machines? Think [...]

O.M.G. Google Listens

2011 . Feb . 7

The events of my life often don’t make sense to me. Life feels precariously balanced on the knife-edge…  and at moments of synchronisity, it can be jarring, and yet reaffirming. My mind reels at those moments. Last night was one of those moments. Last week was spent on the road and in the air. Travel, [...]

Want to win some Vibrams?

2011 . Jan . 21

I just registered to win a pair of Vibrams at http://www.myfivefingers.com/win-fivefingers/ Part of the registration process requires that I submit this linkback to their blog :( We’ll see if they offer good news in their newsletter. Bet they don’t know what I just heard through the grapevine from an anonymous Adidas representative: Adidas is coming [...]

The end of globalization? a loose/weak/unscientific hypothesis

2011 . Jan . 13

Hypothesis: We’re near or past the peak of globalization How would we try to evaluate that? Here’s a few articles that I found interesting… The end of GDP as a measure – http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/15/business/global/15gdp.html President Nicolas Sarkozy told the French national statistics agency Monday to take greater account of factors like quality of life and the environment [...]

Too big to fail

2010 . Dec . 20

A friend of mine sent me a link about Google’s size (no, silly… it’s size in the market). I get enough spam comments about my own size already, but I thought perhaps I’d take a moment to put down my thoughts about how much of a good thing is too much. So, here’s another letter [...]
