Vat19

Tuesday, February 7, 2012

Bootstrapping the Earth

Saturday, January 7, 2012

I often think that modern software systems are overly complex, and I am troubled by the vast network of dependencies between their constituent components. For example, a modern operating system has an unbelievable number of layers and components; it exceeds an individual’s ability to understand them all. Guaranteeing that the system is free of errors [...]

I want my “Shack” back!

Saturday, May 8, 2010

What ever happened to The Radio Shack of my youth? Image via Wikipedia Back in the day (yeah, I am getting old) the place was an “imaginarium” in every sense of the word.  The stores were a wall to wall tinkerer’s wet dream.  You would walk in for a few resistors, a diode, and a [...]

I Must Break You

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

In case you have been asking yourself what Dolph Lundgren has been up to lately.  It looks like a little singing, a little dance, a little drumming, a little board and ice breaking. I suppose it could be worse.  For those that don’t remember Ivan Drago was Rocky‘s nemesis in Rocky IV. Related articles by [...]

Stephen Colbert Is Right About Bears

Sunday, January 31, 2010

Anyone who watches The Colbert Report with any frequency knows of the man’s hatred of the Ursine’s.  They regularly top The Threat Down as the #1 threat.  It seems his thinking isn’t all that far off if…you are are a child, and you make fun of bald people.

Keeping It Real Vintage

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

I found this vintage Dungeons and Dragons commercial from the 80′s.  I was way into D&D back then and it seems odd that I don’t remember this commercial at all. I find it interesting that they make it out to be such a family game.  I can’t imagine ever playing D&D with anyone in my [...]
