It’s a phrase that’s been used around the office quite a bit over the years as technology has gotten more and more advanced & crept into our daily lives. With the official announcement of Apple’s 3rd generation iPhone looming, speculation of its improvements has been rampant on various blogs & chat rooms. In addition to [...]
Yesterday, I was catching up on some cable TV viewing and noticed a confusing spot on Food Network. It addressed the broadcast switch to digital in February of 2009 and encouraged viewers who are still watching television through rabbit ears to contact Insight Communications for more information on getting all of the channels after the [...]
Wow, what a blast! Blast of wind that is. 120 mph and one of the most fun sports I have ever tried. Of course we weren’t jumping out of an actual plane. We were floating in a very controlled environment called a vertical wind tunnel and we had our “flight instructor” right there with us, [...]
In 2006, a video startup made a startling announcement that sent shockwaves through the professional video world: the production of a camera that would capture images at a 4k resolution direct to hard disk or flash based memory cards, with the ability to use prime cinematographic lenses, for only $17,000.

I chose to join only the social networks from “Top 10 Most Beautiful Social Networks” that suited me. I joined Pownce, Beautiful Society and Virb; all the while still a member of MySpace and [...]
What do you do if you own a business that manufactures widgets that nobody wants to buy because a). their perceived quality is not good and b). their basic maintenance has become too expensive to justify? If you’re Chrysler, you offer $2.99 a gallon gasoline for three years, guaranteed. That’s right. Like a gas bank, [...]
I don’t know about you, but there are few things I love more than a good old-fashioned clash of cultures. And the culture I find myself most fascinated with/confused by is Japanese pop culture. I don’t really understand Hello Kitty or PokeMon, Anime cartoons confuse me and Japanese horror movies give me nightmares. (I’m not [...]
Every year for the past 4 summers we have instituted Partner Days. It made sense to me to control those desires that come about when one wakes up and decides today is too beautiful to go to work. What if we planned for hooky? What if every other week half the staff had Fridays off? [...]
In Kentucky, we Democrats will pledge our allegiance to either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton on Tuesday. Personally, I haven’t completely made up my mind yet, although I’m about 75% there. In addition to painting my bathroom this weekend, figuring out what each Presidential candidate is really about is next on my list of things [...]
