ET Came Home
We're baAAAAaaack. I kicked and jumped and fought and scratched and screamed when Ponzi pried me away from the computer on Friday, but… it didn't take long for me to open my eyes to the alternative perspectives at the conference (which was less about UFOs and more about science). I rather enjoyed myself, and wouldn't [...]
Strange Days
I'm having a better time at this “out there” convention than I thought I would. Most of yesterday's events were good, but a few of 'em seemed rather pointless. The Mexican UFO presentation knocked my socks off; the journalist showed footage from Japan that illustrated some type of invisibility technology. I have no idea if [...]
Alien Visitor
Eric and I thought we'd try something – the world's first audioblog switch-off. Don't listen to one without listening to the other… and maybe it'll make more sense. Or not. Probably not. Maybe?
Longhorn Out in 2006!
I guess this makes it… official? Again? No word on whether or not the UI will still be ass-ugly. Even WindowBlinds can't fix that mess. Microsoft oughta force their design development team to use OS X for a year, ya know?
Are You Depressed?
I've seen an awful lot of commercials for depression medication lately. Are the networks trying to tell us something? The solution's side effects always seem to be much worse than the malady. Take, for example, Zoloft (that's the one with the Schmoo midget as its rep): Side effects may include the following: upset stomach, trouble [...]
Gnomedex Registrations
Gnomedex registrations are starting to pick up again – could be due to the expanding schedule. We just added Primer to it the other day, an award-winning Sundance film that the producers wanted to show at the conference. Not to mention Gokul Rajaram, the senior product manager for AdSense (one of the best things ever [...]
Bugs Bugs Bugs
Remember Y2k? Yeah, well… now there's a Year 2038 Bug going around. And for those of you wondering, it has nothing to do with the 404s that went out in last night's newsletters. That was an error on my part… miscommunication, rather. My bad. Turned out to be a caching issue, but the WhatCounts folks [...]
I Love Dogs
Wicket and Pixie were playing around with the bumble ball tonight, and I thought I'd capture the activity on video for all to see. They're also showcasing their new collars! I edited out the part where they pooped.
Unidentified Flying Oddballs
Road Trip! Someone just purchased tickets for us to attend the 6th Annual BAY AREA UFO EXPO in a couple of weeks. Any other geeks going to be there? Oughta be interesting – with plenty of “WTF” moments.
