Are you talking to me?

I have been coerced into taking Moonlet to see a children’s cartoon called Meet the Robinsons no less than three times so far.  It’s a pretty fun flick.  Fast paced, quick dialogue.  Almost too quick at times.  There is however, one very pointed jab at the most recent cultural trend.  Bear with me, the entire [...]

Space Oddity?

Not quite the space oddity just yet, Stephen Hawking took his first step yesterday.  There are so many cool aspects to this situation I don’t even know where to start.  So, I don’t think I will.  This is just very cool, Stephen!  I hope he gets there.

Live longer, eat chocolate

A while back I did a piece on the benefits of green tea. Now, as much as I tried, I just couldn’t enjoy the taste of green tea that much. So, I did the next best thing and started taking green tea extract [...]

Where is my global warming?

I am also quite disgruntled with global warming. We got a surprise for tonight, the sixth consecutive night of either record tieing or record breaking colds. Six.

Vista

I got a crash course in Vista today. Bought an Emachine in the box with nothing telling me what was running on it. It was Vista. Now, I immediately ran into two critical problems. The old hard drive kept rebooting with the new machine, and the VPN driver ( Contivity ), [...]

Now, before I get the usual whiny response that global warming can cause anything, this is what I’m going on:

That’s called the hockeystick. What it did was set a lot of this current debate on global warming in motion a few years ago. What is says, without any doubt, is things are supposed [...]
