The Never Ending Gun Clip

Underworld Awakening

I watched Underworld Awakening last night. Of course it’s always nice to see a pretty gun toting girl running around shooting things up. But seriously, this plot was WEAK! The only times Selene ran out of bullets was when the plot required it. Seriously unrealistic, even for a vampire / werewolf movie. The other hard [...]

Canned response from my congresswoman to my email about SOPA

Is this Mic on? -- #SOPA

I wanted to share this with you, my friends. I emailed Kay Hagen through her website earlier today hoping she would address some of the concerns her constituency has expressed. I am part of her constituency. I tried to be polite but firm. Unfortunately I forgot to save what I had written. Kay Hagen’s response [...]

Last week I got to see the Pixies live in Greensboro at War Memorial Auditorium. The crowd wasn’t overwhelming, but definitely the floor seating was full.

In our sci-fi accelerated society of pocket computers, women that vote, gays that marry, it seems off putting to say the least that we have such a Dark Ages rule requiring belief in the Almighty lingering in as many as 7 of our states’ constitutions…

iPhone & the world of Tomorrow, Today!

So I finally got an iPhone. It took two years for me to decide. In that time a lot has changed. iPhone has evolved, and so too has the world around it. “A computer in my pocket.” That’s been the best description of the iPhone I’ve ever heard. And now that I have one, it [...]

The Kindle… O_o

In my humble opinion: The Kindle is grossly overpriced and their digital books are overpriced as well. I can buy a netbook for the cost of a Kindle, and the netbook contains much more processing potential and power. With the advent of new, cheaper to produce technologies am I really so out of line to [...]

Twitter is down… now what?

I’ve learned how to operate paper books while Twitter has been down… Now I understand why the web always refers to “pages”.
