Just a short post here to vent the current notion at the front of my tiny mind. Have you ever read a blog post at your favorite site that, for you, really hit the nail on the head? Did you read it and think, “Ah ha! That is the perfect argument/analysis for this particular topic,” [...]

Google has released the first iteration of a new browser that I’m sure will be in perpetual beta. I’m using it today because I can’t resist Teh Shiny. Google Chrome. Well… that worked. Yay me! UPDATE: See the comments for some other stuff I had to say in response to Jeff’s question. That got [...]

Phone Army, originally uploaded by thompsonian.net. Here we see the Mobile Phone Army charged and ready for maneuvers. I’ve personally seen TT talking on three phones at once.

Just a quick note. I noticed that some of my older posts contained images that weren’t being served. I fixed those. Sitemeter tells me that there is some recent interest in the material I wrote about building my over-the-air HDTV PVR. You can find all of those in the HDTVPVR category. This post seems to [...]

I deleted my Twitter account — only two weeks after I opened it and predicted that I would delete it by the end of that day. I suspect the Twitter folks are a victim of their own success and that’s why their service is down so often. Not being able to rely on it for [...]
