TechCrunch reports that a new software will be put to the test Thursday night during the Biden/Palin debate.  RealScoop purports to be able to detect whether a candidate is lying or not, simply by taking note of the speaker’s vocal inflections and patterns and performing 1,000 calculations a second to determine whether what is being [...]

I bought my laptop, a Dell Latitude, back in February of 2005. It was a refurbished Dell, meaning it was and old computer made new again, so it’s really more than just 3 1/2 years old.  Anyway, it’s lasted pretty well, all things considered.  I had to replace the motherboard a couple years ago because [...]

Links on the side are updated.  Woo!!

Or, as Jessi would put it, “Not Dead.”
We’re going to give this whole update-your-blog thing a try once more.  It was all well and good when I was living alone in Virginia with no social life and a powerful desire/need to procrastinate on my research, but then I came home and had real people to [...]

Me and Technology are in a fight. We are not speaking to one another at the moment. It’s too long a story to go into right now, or ever, but suffice it to say that I refuse to be a pawn in Technology’s little games from now on. Internet and I are [...]

EDIT: Here is the link.  You have to pay $4.95 for a day-long use of their downloading software, [...]

Facebook friends are the people you wonder how they are, but don’t really have any reason to ask them.  Like, I was stalking people tonight, and there were several people who I wanted to say “hey, how are you” to, but really, I don’t know that I really care.  And its been years since i [...]

Check out this entry on the official Google Blog about the proper use of the word “Google.”  It’s interesting because you really see how the fact that google is turning into an actual word and not a trademark is both thrilling to marketing peeps, and horrifying to lawyer-types.
However, I’m posting it here because what I [...]

Ok, the proverbial last straw just fell and broke my back.  Just call me Joe Camel.
I swear to God, I believe that listservs are the worst contraption to have come out of the Internet/e-mail phenomenon.  They should be banned.  They do not make things easier.  In fact, they just make things worse.  You all saw [...]
