Its no secret that time marches on, every day we are reminded about how things change.  Some days these changes are small, while others have magnitude that may cause you to question the very foundation of your day to day beliefs.  Sue time works out well for most of our everyday common place experiences, but [...]

This week broke a few very interesting stories.  First we have Apple taking the fight against all things titillating and taking the now familiar step of banishing apps from the iTunes store aka super Jobs nirvana land.  Seems that someone had the nerve to make apps that had cleavage and bare chested men and such…who [...]

interplanetary missions from. After NASA finished its initial review
of the date from the LACROSS space probes impact on the lunar surface,

News on your Amazon Kindle being sucky, and your story telling narcissism

News on your Amazon Kindle being sucky, and your story telling narcissism

The news this week is about how some schools seem to think that the Amazon Kindle is a bad tech device because its not able to be setup to read aloud to you if you are blind because that initial setup requires navigating through onscreen menues that do not initially read themselved to you. As oppossed to all those other tech devices they think are just fine, like all the computers (which do not come pre-set to be accessable to the blind) and of course the standard paper books, which have absolutely no provision to read themselves to you. I also cover a science story on why you can remember great jokes and stories…but not who you told them to. Could it be that your too concerned about how your coming off to others to be bothered remembering who they are?

Everyone has a run in with the law at some point.  Maybe its you being naughty, maybe its your neighbor being loud, or just possibly you need some help, and the person that comes to your aid, is a public servant who far too often gets associates with being the harbinger of doom…ok maybe not [...]

It happens…not very often when you consider there are hundreds of millions of them out there, but it is a real fact that lithium batteries can go bad.  I don’t mean they start pushing over cows, robbing liquor stores and writing bad checks, but they can go bad, and especially if damages (lets say by [...]
