I used to watch Beyond2000 all the time when I was in Air Force barracks/dorms… I had no idea the show was still around. The embedded clip is about two different projects to power small vehicles with compressed air. Interesting idea, I can easily picture small loaders and golf-carts going this route and just using […]
While I was laid up with the nasty coughing flu, the seasons delivered great beauty to our back yard. Only the last five photos are from this past weekend, others are from earlier this season.
Hat tip to AMERICAblog for this excellent video, in short; Clinton and McCain are the pots calling the kettle black here: Obama’s response is to tell it like it really is: So the interesting question is can millions of social issues voters wake up and see that in 28 years the so-called social issues party […]
Three days of annoying and unsatisfying cough, two days of spiking and breaking fevers, frequent chills, always being cold… whatever bug this is make you feel miserable. Most pain I can remember having for a long time. Once the fever spikes/breaks, I get about two good hours of feeling better before it begins again. At […]
Some friends and I are concerned about some element of this being insensitive, perhaps the day-laborer stereotype; but I think that helps convey the point, and it adds irony in a sadistic way that the only person secure in their job is willing to work as a driver, and that says something about our Walmart […]

For me the most useful applications are: LocalPicks by […]
Last week I set up Mom’s TimeCapsule and new 20″ iMac so that when she returns to central New York she can get regular backups done automatically. It is pretty impressive as a backup device, network storage, 4 port LAN hub, DHCP server, and 802.11N wireless access point. As a router and firewall it is […]
Used Dreamhost’s easy to use one click install to upgrade to WordPress 2.5, and it looks much easier to edit on the fly with embedded HTML code. The dashboard is very different, may take getting used to; but it puts the most important stuff on top (useful on a short, wide display like a laptop). […]
Tagged Blogging, webhosting, WordPressMy new employer has several Apple XServe 1U rack-mount servers more than they actually need. Is there any interest in XServe G5 hosts? What value do these things have? Each is a dual 2.3GHz G5 with 4GB memory, gigabit ethernet, multiple firewire slots, and two to three hard drives. I cannot sell them for Ruckus […]
This video popped up on Ruckus.com this morning, and I was instantly smitten with the music: Rodrigo y Gabriela have their own website, and a first CD.
