Discourses
Wyerd no wantchu 2 sp3ll rite?
Today I got an opportunity to open up the issue of Wired that has been sitting on my desk for a week or so now. I’ve been running around like a chicken with my head cut off so reading hasn’t exactly made it to the top of my priority list. However, I finally managed to [...]
Lessons Learned in the Last Year
Most years I allow my birthday to pass fairly uneventfully. I will usually end up having dinner with friends or family, but I’ve never really enjoyed anything that put me on the spot (i.e. a full blown party). While thinking on this I decided to diverge from the normal mandate of this blog a little [...]
The SiriusXM Listener Abuse Line
Most customer support snafus are honest mistakes or misunderstandings. I have had a number of situations in talking with customer support representatives where things just went wrong. Nine times out of ten, it’s a situation of things being out of the control of the customer service department. Even with my recent frustrations with my Google/HTC NexusOne, I [...]
Some Funny Observations on Valentine’s Day
So, due to unfortunate circumstances that start with “sch” and rhyme with drool, I was not able to be with my significant other on Valentine’s day. We, instead, celebrated this past weekend – and it was a good time. However, my lack of desire to do anything after she went home meant I decided to [...]
New Year, New Work
Well, let me start off by wishing everyone a happy 2011. This is the first blog post of the new year. Since the start of the year I’ve found myself completely apathetic with regard to doing anything remotely related to work of any kind. I can’t explain it but I’ve just felt like being a [...]
Cellphone Frustrations
Since I was 15, I’ve owned a cellphone of one kind or another. This past summer, as most of my regular readers know, I made the jump to the smartphone world with my purchase of a Google Nexus One. This was an expensive purchase, but one that I didn’t mind making under the impression that [...]
I’m not dead yet!
I’m not dead… but school has been kicking my butt over the last few weeks. So I apologize if I’ve disappointed anyone with my silence, but I hope to have some tasty goodies post on here very shortly. For lack of anything technically related, I think it is appropriate for me to give a short update on [...]
What is HTTPS?
Greetings and good Wednesday to you my friends. I hope you’ve been having a less hectic week than I have. In order to take a break from what else I have going on by continuing my practice I started last week of using Wednesdays to explain some basic concepts in Computer Science. I find that [...]
Cars and Computers, and lots of problems.
Happy Monday to everyone. I don’t really have anything special to report on today, but I thought you might be interested to know what has been going on over the past few days instead of blogging on here. First off, I was spending time with my girlfriend while I had the opportunity this weekend. Sorry, blogosphere. She [...]
What is a Virtual Machine?
So, along with the idea of having regular features, I know that I want one of these regular features to be an explanation of one computing concept or another. Maybe titled What Wednesdays, following the template set forth by Mark in the comments of one of my earlier posts. Anyway, today I’m going to take [...]
