The Minority Report

I’ve blogged about Ms. Erin Andrews before and here is another great story involving the sexy sideliner. Monday during the College World Series game between Arkansas and LSU, ESPN2 had a bit of a snafu with their footage of America’s sideline princess. For 10-15 seconds the network, according to a viewer who e-mailed the screen [...]

This is fantastic and there are so many applications!! I love this whole green revolution that seems to be occuring. I hope the innovation keeps on coming! Sainsbury’s market of England has installed ‘kinetic energy’ plates in the parking lot of it’s store in Gloucester. The plates are an experiment with a newer energy producing [...]

This is from the DailyWTF, one of my favorite blogs on the Interwebs and I pull from it frequently but nothing in the last month or so. However, I found this both amusing and very, very touchy because I’ve worked in tech support/help desk for a long time and nothing irritates me more then stories [...]

If this turns out like I think it might, then it’s going to be pretty damned cool!! Here is the link to ApolloPlus40 on Twitter. The Nature.com blog is here. Nature, the publishing group, is mixing the old with the new by “tweeting” the Apollo 11 moon mission as it happened — 40 years later. [...]

Looks like Linux is moving and shaking again! First OS to support the new USB 3.0 specs and major work done by a chick! You go girl!! (p.s. I’d hit that…) The xHCI (USB 3.0) host controller driver and initial support for USB 3.0 devices is now publicly available on my kernel.org git tree. Greg [...]

For your review…I don’t think that the American school system is all that bad! For eight years, Jessica Terry suffered from stomach pain so horrible, it brought her to her knees. The pain, along with diarrhea, vomiting and fever, made her so sick, she lost weight and often had to miss school. Her doctors, no [...]

This is very handy and going right into my bookmarks. Beats the hell out of the Windows Character Map applet. Sometimes you need to insert a special character (copyright mark ©, currency symbol €,¥ etc) in your email message or a blog post online. Most probably you copy/paste a required character either from a Word [...]

I take back any marginally bad thing I ever said about Michael Gray. Thank you for putting this thought so freaking succinctly or at least bringing it to my attention and in turn to the attention of at least 2 other people. If you are into SEO, whitehat, blackhat or otherwise, think about this for [...]

…compared to this 11 year old genius! LOS ANGELES (NBC) – There’s an 11-year old southern California boy who will probably make you feel like an underachiever. Why? Because even though he’s yet to go through puberty he’s already a college graduate. Eleven year old Moshe Kai Cavalin demonstrates some of the martial arts moves [...]

Looks like it’s the 500th anniversary of John Calvin this year. 1509-2009. Here is a cool timeline/essay on some of the founding fathers of the reformation including John Calvin. The Reformation A brief overview of the high points of the Reformation covering John Wickliffe, John Hus, William Tyndale, John Calvin, Martin Luther, and Ulrich Zwingli. [...]

I thought this was interesting.  Screw all that “scientology kills” bull crap.  I think this speaks for itself.

Remember kids, a picture is worth a 1000 words. After Rypple added avatars to emails, response rate improved between 15 and 20%. Just like that. The simple addition of a picture increases interest/trust a significant amount. Avatars in Emails Increase Response Rate up to 20% for Rypple – Bokardo Here is a blurb about Rypple: [...]
