Marking this down for later, when I get tons of followers (whenever that happens). According to Mashable, here’s now supposedly a process by which an Instagrammer can get “verified” that doesn’t include luck. The app’s designers are rolling out a new process by which a user can request a “verified” status. Previously, no one knew […]
For those of you confused about the generational cohorts (and why shouldn’t you be confused about this arbitrary, ageist grouping of people), Pew Research Center has come up with a definite delineation, based on birth year. So, FYI, here’s how it goes: The Silent Generation: Born 1928-1945 (73-90 years old) Baby Boomers: Born 1946-1964 (54-72 years old) […]
Geez, you spend a little bit of effort upgrading the blog, switching architectures, updating images, importing some 18 years of blog posts … and you’re accused of not blogging for over a year. A guy can’t win. Seriously, though, the age of open-sourced Movable Type is over. It’s either pay five hundred bucks a year, […]
Oh, man. This is sad. I actually secretly liked this guy’s videos. He had this great fake Russian accent and fired a lot of guns. Mr. Ratliff’s passion for firearms made him something of a celebrity on the Internet, where he helped make scores of videos about high-powered and exotic guns and explosives. His YouTube […]
How does he know so much about people? Amazing mind reader reveals his ‘gift’ – YouTube

A comparison of the iPhone 4S’s automated assistant. I suppose it’s great if you don’t know how to start a web search on your iPhone, or know how to call a florist. iPhone’s Siri vs. My Human Assistant – Video Library – The New York Times Related articles iPhone 4S: How to Teach Siri to […]
Image via Wikipedia I suppose it wasn’t entirely unexpected, but it’s a pretty sad situation. I wonder what the future of computing, media, and networking will look like without Jobs’ crazily gifted innovation. It’s long been Silicon Valley legend: Jobs and Wozniak built their first commercial product, the Apple 1, in Jobs’ parents’ garage in […]
Image via Wikipedia Well, obviously, I’ve not been looking for guest posters. But apparently, it’s a thing you can do to get more content and more readers. Interesting concept. At least I’d feel like I was talking to someone besides myself. Ask any pro blogger and he will tell you that the more content […]
Had a massive motherboard failure on my box, which was essentially a desktop machine crammed into a 4-u rack mount chassis. I originally thought the power supply was dead, but when I replaced the unit, the machine still wouldn’t start. Turned out the board was completely fried, though not the fault of the hosting provider, […]
