My familiar, my Tiamat, my cat…

October 9, 2009 By 2 Comments

This is the hardest post I’ve ever written. My cat of the past 10 years, Tiamat, passed away yesterday. He was the smartest cat I’ve ever met. He was my first cat. Tiatmat was a heavy set fellow, alright, he was overweight. But he seemed quite comfortable in it, and wore it well. He was [...]

The Kindle… O_o

August 10, 2009 By Leave a Comment

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 [...]

I was late arriving at ConvergeSouth, located at A&T University – Greensboro, NC, but I heard the Robert Scoble talk. The best quote is shown below. His talk focused on the voice each of us has, the private broadcasting studio we each represent given the new accessible technology. Very good talk.

McCain’s Vice President selection a Win Win for Equality

August 29, 2008 By Leave a Comment

We achieve greater awareness of possible leaders by having a white woman in the race and a black man on the ticket.

August 27, 2008 By Leave a Comment
