So, ironic that just after I post something about my site being down and I may not keep blogging my site goes down again. I don’t know how long, could have been days–I haven’t getting emailed site backups for days. I didn’t think it was a problem with my blog setup, I thought […]

So, with the addition of my Asus EEE, I now have a total of 5 operable computers, 4 of which I regularly use. One is my download computer/DVD player/media streamer for my television. One is a laptop that is no longer portable (bad power port) so it is permanently resigned to a dock […]

RFID (Radio Frequency ID) chips emit a little radio signal that contains digital information, and this signal can also be used to track them. They’re versatile: perfect for warehouses to track cases, scary as hell when they talk about putting them in people. They’re stupid when in credit cards. Stupid and dangerous and […]

A long, long time ago I wrote an article on RepRap, a self-replicating rapid prototyping machine. It could theoretically work with metals (metal clays) ceramics, plastics, and probably way more than that. I wondered if it would at some point be possible to create processors using this technology. I know years ago […]

The New York Times had an interesting article about Google’s seemingly overblown response to Microsoft’s bid on Yahoo!.
Even more interesting to me is the mention of Microsoft’s shift to online applications. I’ve heard of this a lot lately, Adobe is supposedly heading in that direction as well. The idea that applications will exist […]
