Last night, I was walking down the street, and as I was approaching Toojays two old couples came walking out of the restaurant. As we got to the street corner, there was a sudden “clang!”, and I turned to see one of the husbands falling backwards to the ground after …
Living on the edge…
One thing that I especially deplore in my existence, is that due to my being in South Florida, travel on I-95 is a necessity. 95 is not like the quaint highways and turnpikes back home, but is rather a ramble of thousands of people who all want to get to …
Words
No purpose, no point. Just was curious about a few words this Christmas night. I’d just watched Equilibrium tonight, as i recently hit upon a dystopian movie watching streak. And knowing the adjective of the movie was dystopia, I wondered what other words also related to it… These are my findings: …
Need a decent “theme”
While I like the Twenty Eleven theme that was installed by default, I’m afraid that it’s just a little too generic. Newsprint looked promising on the WordPress themes download area, but after installing it, I wasn’t so enamoured by it. I know i’d like to learn more about wordpress development, …

And onto bit coins…
From the get go. Or really, not from the get go, but from the moment bitcoins were brought to my attention, some 6 or 7 months ago by a friend, the phenomenon has made no sense to me. The US dollar is doomed because it’s got nothing backing it, they …
My history of computing, Part I
Computers. Then and now. Now and then. I’ve been using them a while. A while, meaning even my friends who are just a few years younger than me don’t understand, and therefore take for granted, how much progress we’ve made over such a short time. Way back when, in 2nd …
Here in the US, we love women, human rights, freedom of religion and all that
Here in the US, we love women, human rights, freedom of religion and all that. Or at least that’s what we like to say. When other countries with deplorable human rights records are rotated into seats at the UN where they get to oversee the abuses of other countries, we …
