Aren’t they a giggle? I mean — come on! We are so superior. Masters of all we survey doncha know. Don’t listen to those social science weirdos discuss our herd instincts. Ignore the neurologist observing the primitive part of our brain taking control ahead of rational thought. Masters of all we survey and don’t you forget it. Read more…
Not many will recognize that outfit these days. It isn’t an honor society or faculty club at an Ivy League college. This bit of ancient history dwelled just in a sleepy Hoosier town — Terre Haute. They kept the post office busy. Read more…
Yesterday, I exhibited some of the traits of the paranoid. But, when they are out to getcha, that isn’t really paranoia. With the selling of the cloud concept, that will make the problem exponentially worse. At one time I was a computer guru. I’d guess top 5%. That wasn’t hard to get to. Moving higher was. Since then I slipped and slipped and top third might be overly generous. But, I can try to help those well below that. Read more…
That’s our droll Midwestern response about not liking the current weather. The local news talked about the upcoming winter. Natural gas prices will be lower than last year by about 7.7%. It then went on to say we were in for a rough winter. Temps are projected to be much lower than normal. Not a great bit of new for aging bones or the added pressure placed on the heating bill.

You did that I know. We all did that. Parents out there got payback via their children. MINE is a word can strike terror. The social scientist often call us herd beasts. But we can want to be territorial even to the point of causing physical damage. Mothers and politically correct operatives combined to beat or cajole us toward civility. Read more…
To take or assume for one’s own use; appropriate
I love Google. I got an email; it was sad about a casket with a flag but it also inspired.. I can forward it to you if you like. It started with a quote attributed to Jefferson. I went Googling and found it was really Gerald Ford’s line. Well there was something similar from another but Ford phrased it better. Read more…
Every once in a while the good guys win one. That seems more prone to happening in the courts. Alexis de Tocqueville thought the greatest threat to freedom was the legislative process and that the courts would be the only protection from its tyranny. A bit of that has played out in one of the more unlikely judicial venues proving that Al might have been ahead of the curve. Read more…
When radio was our television, one of the popular comedy shows was Fibber McGee and Molly. An ongoing joke was the hall closet that they never got around to straightening out. For those who trust the gods and tooth fairies for the how well their computer functions, they can identify with poor McGee. Read more…
Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises
Can lead to joy and hope and love
Yes, love!!
OK, time to cut the hyperbole. This is about that geeky toy I bought — Logitech Revue. And it has more promise than meat. Read more…
In geekdom that strikes fear in project management types. It exposes what they been up to. Even this late in the process it still doesn’t mean success. What it has brought to the scene is a big spinning fan that could produce unpleasant chunks at any time. Alpha is the first attempt. Beta hopefully crushed enough bugs that that users aren’t running around like Henny Penny. Does keep the juices flowing though. Read more…
