Virtuality

Just finished watching the commercial for Cisco’s Virtual Changing Room (http://www.inspiredm.com/2009/10/12/virtual-reality-is-now-more-real-than-virtual/).
I don’t know how close to being complete that really is, or if it’s not something that will actually happen, but… they should realize how life changing that would be for so many people that really, truly loathe changing rooms. The horrible lighting, the [...]

If It Ain’t Broke…

Courtesy AdAge.com – Twitter is raising a massive $100 million round of funding from seven sources, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Twitter, which has already raised $55 million, has become a valuable resource for brands, both big, national ones and local ones, and can act as both a broadcast and a listening tool.

The Kindle

So.
Kindle.
I am not familiar with the history behind that name, or much else with that product besides it being an e-book reader. (Researching it will make me want one even more.) The response to this product has reminded me greatly of the thoughts from when mp3 players started to arrive on the scene. [...]

Bookmarks and coffee

Cereal.
Coffee.
At work, consuming both, and taking a moment to myself before heading into the plethora of tasks ahead of me. Though I enjoy my Sundays off – allowing myself to overindulge on laziness, cuddling, and day-long brunch – being in the office isn’t bad either. It’s usually quiet enough to get real work [...]

Parasitic Telepathic Octopii

Just wanted to let you all know that a coworker let me borrow Stephenie Meyer’s new book, “The Host”.
I’m about 2 chapters in, and my subject line seems to sum it up accurately so far.
It is late, and that is all. Tomorrow: more.

Pending, Indeed.

1. The American economy is indescribable.
2. I suppose Chris & Rihanna are relevant because if we take our minds of the insane economy, we need to look at someone else’s relationship instead of our own.
3. 1. Jessica Simpson isn’t fat, can everyone just shut up now?
4. Not just poor people should experience this.
5. Can I [...]

The Struggles of a New Year

Over the past few months I’ve been working on my company’s website. Essentially what they had going on was the same content (and layout) they’d had for the past six years, and in those six years there were only a handful of changes made. The webmaster had built a somewhat user-friendly access portal that [...]

Teakettles, Vampires, and Anti-WSYIWYG

This is the ‘manic’ stage of my bipolarity. Despite dealing with (being bipolar) for more than half my life, that word still looks silly to me. Nonsensical. Still, there it is, and there I am. If you’ve followed my blogging for more than six months, you might be able to [...]

Chinese Democracy – Guns n’ Roses

More like a Chinese fire drill, I’m not impressed. Thirteen years, countless line-up changes, and this is what you have to show for it, Axl? It’s not all bad; there are several songs worth taking a listen to. However, most of the album sounds like 80’s hair music. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong here, [...]

To DK or not to DK…

That is the question. With the launch of WotLK a new class has entered the fray. Part Paladin, part Warlock, all bad mamma-jamma, the Death Knight.The DK starts out as a level 55 eliminating the process of leveling another ALT. They look cool, have a cool mount, and even travel with a little minion. I’m [...]
