The Minority Report

I’ve been thinking lately about where to hide my money in the house. Not because I have any but more cause I like the cool stuff you can buy on ThinkGeek.com. Like the wall socket pocket. They call it a “hidden wall safe” but I think that “Wall Socket Pocket” is better and I think [...]

I pay attention to anything written by Valerie Aurora, who is not only hot, but a world class Linux filesystem developer. She’s put together “A short history of btrfs” the Linux file system that Linus Torvalds is using on one of his laptops. Check it out: In this article, we’ll take a behind-the-scenes look at [...]

HT: America’s First Freedom « Reformed Musings

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 [...]

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 [...]
