How many people do you know like revenge? Do you? Most people do. More than being able to walk on two legs, I think the act of vengeance and laughing at someone when they fall down and hurt themselves, is what makes us “human”. I don’t think there is any other animal that feels a… Read More »
“No one likes a loser. It’s only fake praise. You’re either a winner, or you’re hated by society!”, I said to my dog this morning, as she missed the ball. She didn’t disagree. She felt bad dropping that ball.
A new Microsoft Update appeared on my Windows 7 desktop today, and was marked as “Important”. It is referenced as KB3035583. It seemed odd to me to see Microsoft push out an “Important” rated update out of normal update rotation, so I looked up the details on their site. The description is very generic and… Read More »

I put journalism in quotes because I believe anyone would be hard pressed to argue against the fact, that true journalism has been dead for years.… Read More »
My month long experiment to listen to the new Tech News Today podcast on the TWIT Network has ended. I can’t take it no more! The TNT feed is now deleted, and in hindsight I wish I had done it after 2 episodes as I intended. It’s been rather painful to endure the tedious dialog… Read More »
I think that most tech geeks and IT people have likely heard of The TWIT Network and may listen or watch one or more of the shows they produce. My favourite TWIT show was Tech News Today, also known as TNT. This was a show developed around tech podcaster Tom Merritt after he left CNet.… Read More »

He performed groundbreaking computer science work long before the concept even existed. An artificial intelligence test he developed remains relevant today. During World War II, his cryptanalysis work helped Allied… Read More »
