I rarely write about technology because it’s all either derivative or temporal. Well, I suppose that all technology suffers these burdens, but this new Microsoft tablet computer, if it really works as advertised, looks like a game-changer.
I like technology, but I’m not an early adopter. I just like the idea of new technology. [...]

The most dramatic spot for planespotting on Earth. I’d love to go here just to watch planes.

Happy Birthday to me.
Okay, so I’m about a month early, but I don’t want to forget. It’s been 10 years since I claimed a little bit of the web as my own. And yep, that’s the <blink> tag as an homage to oldskool home pages. No, it wasn’t called Ooine.com (that’s Oooo-ween) back [...]

This is the funniest video I have seen in quite a while. Keep watching, it only gets better. Those Japanese people can be completely over the top. They really go all out. Amazing.

Have you ever seen something on Google Video or YouTube and you wish you could keep it and not merely link back to it? Well now you can. Here’s a site that I just came across: KeepVid.com

What the heck is going on here?

The thing is though, I would likely [...]

Check out this picture of a Battletech scenario. Somebody has created a nuclear-esque mushroom cloud with painted cotton or some such material. The result is eerily realistic on a small scale. As if the explosion is frozen in time.

Movies…. bah! Television is the new king over at Netflix for me. My latest pleasure has been Rome, the HBO series. Absolutely amazing and absorbing stuff. I wish it could go on and on. Watching each new episode is like returning to read a few more chapters of a really good book.
The best [...]

Absolutely brilliant. Best take on the Super Mario theme I’ve ever heard. Lots of people like to do their own version of what must be the most popular video game track of all time… but this is the best so far.

Be on the lookout for something cool from Woot.com on Saturday, April 1. As it is, they are already a bunch of crazy, wacky, purveyors of geek-goodies. I can only imagine what they might cook up for Saturday. I love those guys… and yet, I have not purchased a single Woot.
But I DID [...]
