Random Acts of Mind by Dones

Words cannot express how much I think of the people who orchestrated and participated in this lightsaber flash mob. A gorgeous sight to behold! I may have to start carrying my saber to the mall with me just in case…

I understand this is a year old (and I’m posting it a couple days late for the Fourth), but it’s a beautiful message by the Muppets celebrating America in (ahem) their own special way…

If you haven’t already heard, Stephen Wolfram (the creator of the uber-graphing calculator software Mathematica) has recently launched a knowledge engine (as opposed to a search engine like the Google) called Wolfram|Alpha. Instead of being sent out to the internet wasteland as we’re used to, once you type in a query in WolframAlpha the site brings the [...]

As my online presence expands to include Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, Amazon wish list, and my shop on CafePress, (along with the occasional Stickam live video), I am finding that this current blog format is not quite cutting it for me. I need a portal that includes all of the above in a reasonably appropriate [...]

This was too big to just be posted to Facebook. What’s the big deal, you say? Mr. Olberman explains this better than I can. Sufficed to say, how can McCain be trusted if he lies in private phone call to someone like David Letterman?

Isabel Klint directed me to some online tests that I just had to take, so here are my results (no kidding): Hue Test Results: Based on your information, below is how your score compares to those of others with similar demographic information. Your score: 0 Gender: Male Age range: 30-39 Best score for your gender [...]

I classified this as ‘old news’ because I’m a little late to the game: I’m referencing an IGN article from February’s Game Developers Conference. However, this is big stuff, and I wanted to put my thoughts out there, as always. Emotiv Systems out of San Francisco has been developing a human-machine interface called the EPOC [...]
