  • PRISM proof your life

    If some have their way,the names Edward Snowden and Glen Greenwald will be erased from the history books.  I doubt they will be successful, but I think that of the two, Mr. Greenwald’s name will have more staying power.  While Snowden provided the ingredients, Greenwald orchestrated the meal.  The way he structured the stories and…

  • A computer has simulated 1 second of human thought…in 40 minutes

    So if you apply Moore’s law to this, it would seem that we are only decades (years?) away from machines that have faster (better?) brains than humans.  What a waste of computing power…imagine how many FPS you could get in Crysis 3 with 705,024 processor cores and 1.4 million GB of RAM.

  • No post today…working on another site

    I had a post almost ready to go today here, but got sidetracked getting another site I am working on for a friend up and running.  Check it out if you get a chance: POST.

  • Quick tip

    Just a quick tip: wherever you can and where ever you can find them, ALWAYS get your haircut at a barber shop where most of the people are their just to hang out, not get haircuts.  And if you can find one that is cash only, so much the better.

  • A lone voice

    I stumbled across this article on an movie thin Wired from my Facebook feed (side note: I keep toying with deleting my Facebook account and then it helps me find really good content like this).  It’s an interview with a few of the folks that are working on a new Spike Jonze movie about a…

    After a restful, productive break, I hit the ground running on my first week back at work: I went straight into a 3 day, 20 person workshop. Overall it was a pretty good use of time and even better I didn’t have to travel to attend it (although sometimes travelling for things that are going…

  • Well that was fun while it lasted

    Well I’m back to work this week after a few weeks off.  This year’s Christmas break was the same as many in the past – a time to catch my breath, have a few days with no schedule and then try to cram too much into the last few days of it before I have…

  • Buffers

    In my quest to be a little more mindful / present I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and reading.  One of the things I’ve been thinking about on and off for the past few months are buffers – things that separate us from something else.  The obvious ones (i.e. the buffer between you and…

  • Its never the intended consequences that get you

    I’m not sure if this is national news, but here in the northern Kentucky area there is a boom of sorts going on.  A heroin boom.  There are all sorts of public interest groups, task forces and proposed legislation to deal with the problem, but not many seem to be asking the simple question: where is…
