Technical insanity at its best!

Origami Gets Competition

Looks like Archos is turning up the heat on those looking at Origami to solve their portable media desires. Granted it won’t have the application capabilities of Origami but I bet it gets a few customers. Technorati Tags: Portable, Device, Origami, Archos, Multimedia

Dave Winer Gets Owned

It looks like Dave Winer is having some contract complications. This happens a lot in our type of business. My comment is that if Dave has $10k to throw around for weekend projects, I will be glad to work every weekend of the year! Good luck Dave on getting everything resolved.

New House in Mandan

Congrats to Jesse. I found out last night he bought a new house in Mandan. Too bad that moves him farther away now. I guess we won’t see him at the local hangout as much. Kristy is also thinking about getting a laptop for surfing the web and using photoshop. Anyone know of any deals out […]

Six Stroke Hybrid

Bruce Crower, the guy that brought us Crower cams, has found a way to make a six stroke engine, creating a cooling cycle that also creates power. Kinda like a gas-steam engine hybrid. This caught my eye since I’m kinda a motorhead from way back. Technorati Tags: Engine, Crower, Cams, Cycle, Hybrid

Kristy == Country??

Is it true? Can it be true? Our good friend Kristy is taking a walk on the wild side! In her latest blog post she compares country music to “listening to short stories all day long” and she is starting to enjoy the Country music genre. That kind of reminds me of that old joke “what do […]

Too Old To Drive?

Though motorists older than 70 drive far less frequently than other age groups, they already account for an outsize proportion of fatalities, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The death rate per mile traveled for drivers over 85 is four times that of the 30-59 age group. The only group more dangerous than […]

Frank Watson Gives Me Grief

Frank Watson was poking fun at my earlier comparison of myself to the “stoner guy” in the movie 40 Year Old Virgin. Actually I never made this comparison myself, but rather it was pointed out to me by others that had watched the movie before I had a chance to. For the record, I am not that […]
