SPAM. It’s ugly. No one wants it. And it can be downright hurtful. At least SPAM of the email variety. The likes of Comquest, AHOL, Veryson, Yeehoo (names changed to protect their privacy – hereafter CAVitY), know this and want to make you, the customer, happy. CAVitY’s idea of making you happy is to block […]
These memes have some truths in common: They were both shared on Facebook by friends of mine (I hope they are reading this). Each friend is on opposite sides of the political spectrum. Neither friend is the author of either meme. Both friends saw fit to share these memes as-is, with no explanation or opinion […]
A couple of months ago, I signed up to drive for Uber (backstory here). For me, it’s not so much about the money (though a little extra pocket change doesn’t hurt). I’ve always enjoyed driving, and this seemed to be a way to put driving to a purpose. I can’t do it a lot because […]
I went and did it. I signed up to drive for Uber. When Uber first came out, I thought it would be a cool thing to drive for them. When I finally got round to actually trying it, I found my car was older than their 12 year old limit, and I didn’t qualify. So […]
While the world debates combating terrorism, Google is trying to DO something about it.
I saw a photo of Earth where the author claimed the photo was taken from the Hubble Telescope. That irked me, because to take photos of the universe, the Hubble needs a very narrow field of view. If we were to point Hubble at Earth, we’d see only a small fraction of the surface. That […]

It’s a terrible nuisance. Nobody wants it. It doesn’t do us any good. So why do we receive so much SPAM?
If you haven’t encountered these strange looking black and white dotted boxes yet, you will soon.
A few months ago I made the switch from Palm to Android. It wasn’t a difficult choice; Sprint made me an offer I could not refuse. And I’m glad I switched. And as a happy Android user, I feel compelled to share my top 5 “Must Have” applications for Android.
Independence Day has a special meaning for me – it’s my birthday. Yup, a genuine Yankee Doodle Dandy. Every year, our birthday is celebrated with parades and fireworks. Growing up, I thought that was rather special; a parade and fireworks for my birthday … how cool! I don’t know exactly which year it was when I realized that the fireworks were for our country, not specifically for my brother and I (who share a birthday), but that did not matter. I could always count on festivities drawing people together for my birthday, topped with fireworks at the end of the day.
It was relatively amusing reading the early commentary on Apple’s newest hardware, the iPad. It’s as if the media was looking for something to endorse, and the iPad was in the right place at the right time, even if it was the wrong product.
“Wow! Is that really you in this video?” the note on my Facebook page read. It was from Jim who sometimes does send interesting links and I was curious. “Click” …
