Making waves on the internet…
Geotagging me anywhere
I love that Internet and its barriers to access are so easily overcomed in the present. No longer tied to a phone line that locks out any other use. No longer tied to a desk via an ethernet cable. No longer tied to a building as I have a USB dongle that gives me excellent internet access anywhere I please with in good reception of a cell tower. I also have a GPS chip built into the same card and so I can also determine my location geospatially down to currently 6ft of accuracy.
I love that technology and data can flow so smoothly so seamlessly today in comparison to years past. I can only imagine what the future holds. And sorry if you do not enjoy that concept but for me things like Wi-Max and Google Latitude and other services flowing my information all the time is really cool.

My Dad Loves Plants
about 4 weeks ago - No comments
I grew up with a dad who constantly had plants around and tended to them constantly. In the heat special care was given to hydrate them. Then the cold would come and the plants would be carefully moved inside or into custom hotboxes to keep them warm over the frigid Virginian weather. He still tends
Tech Talk Guys

I am excited to say that my friend Bill and I revived our podcast Tech Talk Guys. We have this unfortunate pattern of posting and then having to take a LONG hiatus before we post again. Funny enough I realize that it tends to create almost a time capsule of tech news. I remember when
Classic Gaming on New Hardware

I fell further in love with my little netbook when on a whim I broke out Quake II and Driver. The joy of long late nights playing Q2 with my boys over a LAN game suddenly rushed over me. It was epic. Amazing to see that such a small machine just cranked out the video
iSlate = iPad

The revolutionary internet device has been released and the better part of the tech world said “meh”. Unfortunately the hype surrounding the iPad made living up to said hype as improbable as Bigfoot actually speaking the queen’s english and inviting everyone over for scones. The reality is that Apple’s last few revolutionary devices were just

The upcoming rumors of the mythical Apple device has the whole internet a buzz. Research into patents, companies that were acquired, website registration, and even a HIGH bounty for pictures, video, or physical interaction. There is reason to believe that this could be Jobs last hurrah and a parting device for all of us to

I just came home from seeing what can only be described as an epic master piece of cinema. James Cameron has once again created an amazing world that truly was tangible. Aside from the amazing 3D experience and filming in IMAX the emotions that swirl from the beautiful characters that inhabit Pandora really make the
Rain from the Cloud needs filtering
about 1 year ago - No comments
I love ubiquity. Especially across personal devices. With services like Google and the venerable Microsoft Exchange Server I can quite simply pump unified data up to the cloud and have it rain back down on me in a sea of data that holds my life together. There is however one big drawback. Does everything really
Down fall of UMPC – Cheap Netbooks
about 1 year ago - No comments
I always wanted a UMPC and somehow never thought I would like Netbooks. My favorite UMPC was the OQO and its slick design. Well now it seems that the OQO is not going so well. I think that the major reason for this shift is the power and affordableness of the new Netbooks. Lenovo, MSI,

I have always said the following quote and have referenced it to other people but I can’t find it anywhere. SOOO… I am going to put the quote down as my own!! Technology is only technology to those that did not have it as children… I have always related this quote to my maternal grandfather.

i don’t blog enough – Google Search. So I did a quick search and though obviously not all the links are related to my google search. I think 337 million hits might be saying something. I am at the MICCA conference in Maryland and I remember when I was a teacher how I could blog
