Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Roll back your time clock to the mid 1990s and consider your reaction to this statement (lifted out of context from a comment about BitTorrent): Yesterday, it took me 2.5 hours to download a measly 39 megs. I remember being hesitant to download something as large as 5 Mb (even on the LAN at work), […]
With access to newspapers and highspeed net access after a week away, the graphic imagery and harsh realities of the post-tsumani impacts make anything complained about here last night seem infinitesimally insignificant. Like others, I have been contacting friends and colleagues with families in Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand, and fortunately for them, their losses […]

I’ve got some back of the cranium wonderings about educational uses of BitTorrent — if this has not yet crossed your scope, check out the January 2005 Wired article The BitTorrent Effect (no, the article does not star Ashton Kutcher as BT creator Bram Cohen): BitTorrent lets users quickly upload and download enormous amounts of […]

People and journalists 😉 are writing about a blogging phenomena n Greensboro, North Carolina, which apparently is becoming a critical mass as maybe a hub in public engagement in blogging (reading, writing, commenting), Jay Rosen in Greensboro Newspaper Goes Open Source: A Follow Up: I am going to stay on the story of the Greensboro […]
I got a not so notice photo mailed to me form the city of Scottsdale. They took an unflattering photo of me doing 36 in a 25 mph zone. In this modified scan, I am seething red at being caught by these machines designed to extract money from citizens. Well, my portrait arrived in the […]
flickr foto A Presentavailable on my flickr My last day this year in the office, and there is a new present I ought to be playing with… replacing a 2.5 year old G4 Powerbook with a shny new… Today is our last official day of work until after New Years. Trying to take care of […]
