Just when I’m sure most of America has the illusion that the mortgage crisis was pretty much over (after all, they stopped talking about it all the time on tv didn’t they?), it turns out to be very much alive and kicking because the news now is talking about… you guessed it… another government bailout.

One of the things that’s so definitely wrong with the world is the way a lot of elderly and sick are treated. Case in point is the story of Steven H. Sabock. He was a patient at Cherry Hospital. He died because he choked on medication.

How many people remember “Signs” by Five Man Electrical Band? I’ve been surfing around YouTube again and ran across that old favorite from the ’70’s that’s been set to slideshow. What I found interesting is that the video didn’t make a whole lot of use of modern digital signage. I am not [...]

In my email this recently:
msnbc.com: BREAKING NEWS: Angelina Jolie gives birth to twins, AP reports
What is it these days? are people THAT worried about what celebrities are up to? I am not a hamster, a birth announcement is something that lots of people welcome, even when they’d normally nuke other bogus news things [...]

I was cruising snopes.com because frankly, you can find some really odd, even funny stuff on there. What’s even better is that some of it is actually true. Such is the case of one Fredric J. Baur, of Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Baur isn’t exactly very widely known but one part of his [...]

IBM is working on another one of those oh-so-brilliant ideas (not) of ways to identify people (like we really need more of THAT nonsense!)
They’re saying that their system can identify people by recognizing their typing patterns. Apparently there’s even directions for modifying the GNOME Display Manager on linux systems to support “user verification through [...]

Here’s an interesting bit about technology. Scientists have come up with technology involving “Nanowires” that would actually make it possible to make fabric that can generate enough electricity to power small devices or implants. Before you decide that you need to grab the phone and get a life insurance quote before you get [...]

Apparently it is, although I think that fewer people know about it than before. What with as busy as the world has gotten I really believe that there’s a large percentage of people that pretty much never think about it at all. Yet here it is, constant and reliable in it’s appearance as [...]

I was reminded today of one summer back in the early 1970’s when my father decided that we were going to cash in on the monstrous number of beer cans casually tossed along the side of the freeway in Tulsa.
We would all pack into the car and head out with plastic trash bags and spend [...]

I am not a hamster, I mean, like anyone else I’m interested in saving money when I can and I’m also one who thinks that regardless of anything like individual positions about the war in Iraq that military people need support. They’re out there putting their lives on the line every day. Of [...]
