Technology, Science, and other ridiculousness
It looks like the folks showing off the XBOX 360 are doing so using a piece of technology that Uncle Bill doesn’t really want around. As much as he’ll tell you that he supports the platform, I’m sure he burns up while this goes on.
It looks like the folks that are doing demos of the […]

Well, I have to admit, I feel pretty special! The wonderful folks on techAddiction ( Kevin and James) invited me on the show to let me blather about my band, music, my blog, podcasts, Windows Mobile 5.0, and how great Barb is at catering for the Green Room.
I think we were only supposed to spend […]
I’ll keep this short:
The Revenge of the Sith premieres tonight at midnight. I would love to go, but why bother when the crowds must be just nuts! I figure, if all of the theaters just stop running every other film, and run only RotS on ALL screens, then the crazies will have seen it at […]

In my area, Verizon is basically the largest communications provider (for all of you youngsters, we used to call them a Phone Company, and they were known as “Bell,” back in the day). In all honesty, over the years, they’ve managed to introduce some pretty interesting technology with varying reliability. Fortunately, Verizon has gotten most […]
On May Friday, 13th, 2005, PhillyFeed.com, a PodCast from the Philadelphia Daily News lists this blog, and my band One Egg Ticket, in their show notes!
They’ve just started their blog, but they’re on their way! I really look forward to seeing out this particular local news site turns out. It’s great to see some serious […]
Sure, there’s a lack of “bands” on today’s radio, but it’s nonetheless a form of what we called radio, back in the olden days!
Individually Modulated (IM) radio is basically what some of us call “Net Radio” and some of us call “PodCasts.” I’m into both, really. I have a ‘cast, and I also have a […]
In the words of Cory Doctorow:
This morning, the DC Circuit of the US Court of Appeals struck down the loathsome Broadcast Flag, ruling that the FCC does not have the jurisdiction to regulate what people do with TV shows after they’ve received them.
All I can say is: YAY!!! It’s about time we slapped down these […]

So, today at GigaWorld, we started off with a pretty boring Keynote, and then it moved onto what turned out to be a pretty lame approach at showing off what these guys thought was “emerging technology.” My person opionion of this “display” was that they looked at technologies that weren’t emerging (and my definition of […]
I know there are a zillion-billion people who have made these things, but I thought this one was pretty cool. This person took an old IBM Thinkpad 560X, and a $15 beech frame, a copy of Damn Small Linux, and installed the Feh slideshow software on it, after gluing it all together. Check out the […]
The first session, this morning, was with Robert Carter, the Executive VP and CIO of FedEx. With FedEx Kinkos becoming such a global company placing their fingers in the pie of office services and the web, they definitely have a great approach to business.

While sitting, bored at the airport, I decided I needed to upgrade my phone stuff. First of all, my phone holster was falling apart, so I decided to upgrade that to one that wouldn’t let me phone fall out of it. I have a LG VX6100 series phone, so I was in search of something […]
