Good day all. I’m waiting for the “other half” to be fitted with his Tuxedo for a relatives wedding. As I pull out the credit card to pay the bill I’m struck by 1) how old I must be getting because I remember when $40 was a high end tux, and 2) just how much everything [...]

I’m sitting here waiting for dinner to arrive and figured I would review another so I just downloaded. This one is called BUDGET. You can keep track of your balance by entering transactions as they happen. Similar to a checkbook register, but on your phone. This so is free so the [...]

I’m sitting here watching “Pirates of Silicon Valley” and I can’t help but be awed at the dawn of computing. How much things have changed, yet remained the same. Steve Jobs still wears his Birkenstocks, Woz is still sporting a beard (all hail Woz). It makes me wonder sometimes if Woz is [...]

I was watching TV today and saw the oddest commercial. It was for a vaccine for young boys. Naturally I was curious as to what health ailment could be befalling our young men. Imagine my surprise to learn it was for the same virus strain as they were peddling for Guardasil, a [...]

We all watched awestruck as a little girl in a gorgeous red dress sang at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Summer Olympics. As it turns out, that little girl wasn’t really singing that night.
High level officials used the real singers voice and put the girl in the red dress as a front. [...]
