Paper or silicon?

Posted on January 30, 2005 By Tom No Comments on Paper or silicon?
General Technology

I live in the South.  It’s icy today, so there is a region-wide panic about driving.  Therefore, we had no newspaper when I got up this morning.  Being Sunday, I’m accustomed to lingering over the paper with multiple cups of coffee, so I was somewhat at a loss.  I decided to try a very pragmatic … Read More “Paper or silicon?” »

While I really admire the creativity, I think someone has WAY too much time on their hands… Gingerbread CPU Gingerbread Laptop I found these on Engadget, which had, in turn been posted on a blog called MediaTinker.

The Ethics of Digital Manipulation This past weekend we celebrated my father’s 80th birthday.  His actual birthday was August 3, but the weekend worked out better for a surprise party, and surprise him we did.  About 80 people turned out for the first Taylor male to make it to the age of 80.  Obviously, such … Read More “To Photoshop or Not To Photoshop:” »

I spent Memorial Day working with memory of a different type – electronic.  My father had an old 286 which he continued to use, despite having a new computer and my warnings to the contrary.  In his defense, we did try transferring the files to the new computer via sneakernet.  While the old DOS programs … Read More “Thanks for the memory” »

So how, exactly, does one become an Internet Icon?  I guess I could design a Tron Costume, or do something equally foolish.  As I’ve turned my attention by to this website, I’ve been wondering what cool service I might offer that would make people actually want to come back.  I did a Google search for … Read More “” »

SELECT * FROM [Users] WHERE CLUE > 0

Posted on April 23, 2004 By Tom No Comments on SELECT * FROM [Users] WHERE CLUE > 0
General Technology

My new ASP-based work order system goes online Monday.  The past three days I’ve been letting the users try out the system, and it amazes me how many people can’t follow directions.  I’m beginning to think of the word “user” as a four-letter word.  I hope the actual roll-out goes more smoothly. It’s amazing how … Read More “SELECT * FROM [Users] WHERE CLUE > 0” »

I’ve been listening to Radio Paradise on www.shoutcase.com .  It’s a strange, eclectic mix, but I like it.  Occasionally I’ll listen to the Downtown Spy Channel when I’m playing pool.  It’s got some good ambient beats interspersed with clips from James Bond movies.  Good stuff. Another good site Chip told me about is Albino Black … Read More “” »

Busted for being a Geek…

 I was almost arrested as a terrorist this morning. I was at the airport in the waiting area outside the security area waiting for Laura’s flight to get in. Since I had a few minutes, I pulled out my Palm Pilot and keyboard and started typing some notes for my tech meeting. I got up … Read More “Busted for being a Geek…” »
