It just was a matter of time that I’d come back this great show. My first attempt at watching it in 2015 was such a different era for technology. Mr. Robot almost seemed like an answer to the kookiness of The Matrix by plopping the hero into a real-ish world with the technology depicted right […]
Yes, it’s a weird topic to post here for a technology site. But here me out; I had a colonoscopy and I wanted to say that this was worth it. For the years since I turned 50, I’d been doing the very easy-to-use and FIT Test. This test has always been great because of its […]
Digging through the vault of older CWL software, I came across a utility that I’d created in, oh, 2003, with a plan to sell it. That never happened, but the tool was still a thing and I’d spent hours coding and testing. Today, let’s look at what the program did looked like. If there’s a […]
Being new to the act of 3D printing, there was a world of difference between my impression of this and the reality. In the past, much has been reported about these tools either printing illicit gun parts or Batman figurines. I knew there was more to the story, but this needed a hands-on time to […]
For some time now, my daily drive laptop has been a Windows PC. Back years ago when I was using a Macbook Pro, the Windows feature WSL wooed me back to the platform. It was nice to be back on familiar ground again with Windows, doing things I’d always done before (and running Total Commander […]
Today I happened upon a sale for an iPhone 17 Pro. I’d arranged the meeting, but I’d been so leery of the sale that I didn’t even bring money with me. The seller, I’ll call him Isaiah, was cordial, but seemed to be full of stories. As he was describing the phone, it was filled with extraneous story details. He was selling me a fake iPhone.
At most turns in this book, I was happy to write off this thesis as the musings of a crackpot. Kingsnorth’s foray into trans-related issues and his defense of conspiracies is just stupid. The assertion that progress wants the end of us is unnecessarily extreme. His holding on so much to religion and the idea […]
Previously, I’d used the NEWDERY Portable Power Bank, and it was something of a marvel for its time. It had it’s troubles, however. One of them was the Apple Watch charge point not being magnetic. Because of that, this power bank would be a pain to use in the car and keeping the watch on […]
This topic of truth is something that has been on my mind. Recently, I wrote that trust needs a major innovation. What is clear, however, is that truth and fact are quite different things. Coincidentally, Werner Herzog releases a book titled The Future of Truth, umm, yea. I’m in. Herzog has always seemed like something […]
This is going to date me, but what if I told you I’d been blogging since 1998. Then, my site was nothing more than an offshoot of the original framed HTML page I created at Seneca College. At the school, a bit of hosting space was provided to everyone in an active technology course-load. After tinkering with some HTML (and leaving the school), I took the files, added more details, a few blog posts and then released it…
