I’ve been using Microsoft Windows 10 TP for quite some time now, with the full Microsoft 360 Office Suite and numerous other older and newer programs. There are some nit compatibility issues with really old stuff, but generally it’s a non-issue. The current build of the Technical Preview is quite stable. From a UX perspective, […]

Used Uber extensively on a recent trip to Orlando and have nothing but 5 star praise for the service. Normal taxi service is a dead model. http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/01/uber-50-billion-value-microsoft-investment/

One has to wonder if this will go down as the most wasteful military program in history. Unmanned will deprecate this program in no time, if not already. I have utmost faith in our troops; but, we need to get MUCH smarter in our investment decisions!  Don’t get me started on the multi-billion dollar carriers […]

In only a few years with rudimentary capability to search for and identify “earth-like” planets, we find one that’s VERY similar. Given a few more centuries, how many will we find; and what are the odds that they will all be desolate of life. Time and space are so vast that claiming we’re the only […]

Robotics is advancing at a blistering pace, but it’s still fun to observer the failures…

Back in the saddle again. Looking forward to nice rides this summer.

On a serious road trip, Waze is far more effective than a radar detector. On a recent trip back from Ohio it “paid for itself” many times over (sneaky PA turnpike police). Absolutely love it! Though, to be honest the last thing in the world most drivers need is something else in the “cockpit” that […]

I freaking HATE nasty hard ABS plastic packaging. It’s not only about the worst thing for our environment and oceans; but, I seem to cut myself on it’s sharp edges every single bleeding time I open something (pun intended). Please manufactures, move away from the nasty stuff.

For those of us who have coded away for decades using rudimentary text editors, take a look at this video series that demonstrates creation of a 2D side scrolling game using the latest/greatest Unreal engine. This stuff is only a VR helmet and gloves away from the William Gibson/Minority Report type of computing. Enjoy… https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Videos/Player?series=PLZlv_N0_O1gauJh60307mE_67jqK42twB
