I scored the new iPhone 13 Pro

Posted on September 30, 2021 by Steve

Well, I really bought last Friday (9/24/21) but I wait several days to execute the migration over from my really good Xs due to last weekend being pretty busy. It was also my first time doing the iPhone-to-iPhone migration since … Continue reading →

Pre-Cursor to the iPod in 1975

Posted on August 27, 2021 by Steve

In adjusted dollars, this would cost 200 smackers and you’d still have to provide your own facial hair, blow-dry coiffure, patterned shirt and the bell-bottoms we can assume he’s wearing. It’s amazing how much we’ve managed to miniaturize headphones to … Continue reading →

We’ll add not the killing people feature in an update

Posted on August 18, 2021 by Steve

Obviously, this plays into our upcoming fears about Artificial Intelligence but I think near-future computers will just kick back and wait. We’re doing a pretty good job on our own poisoning the planet.

If the numbers on the back of the famous Fantasy manual are a date, then yes, it would be today! However, it’s only a coincidence because eight, 13 and 21 are part of the Fibonacci Sequence if you’re going from … Continue reading →

Five Million Steps!!!

Posted on August 7, 2021 by Steve

I started tracking my steps in 2019 when I found this pretty cool, free app for my iPhone/Watch. I would’ve achieved this much sooner if it weren’t for the pandemic since my daily walking around my work campus would’ve doubled … Continue reading →

What’s wrong with this picture, July 2021 Edition

Posted on July 25, 2021 by Steve

What’s really frustrating is that America is capable of doing both. We don’t need private asshole-billionaires (who don’t pay their taxes) trying to claim the Moon and Mars as private property. I won’t disagree with the criticisms from the Sixties … Continue reading →

Posted on July 15, 2021 by Steve

2006: Twitter begins

Posted on July 15, 2021 by Steve

Of all the Social Media platforms, I like this one best. FeceBook is just ads, ads, ads and more prone to having you discover which relatives and old friends have become right-wing, Kool-Aid drinking MAGAts…or worse, selfish Libertarian pricks. It’s … Continue reading →

Austin is testing pizza-delivery ‘bots

Posted on June 21, 2021 by Steve

The robot mostly made the news because it would be using the bike lanes in downtown Austin which might stir up our vocal cyclist community. I think the robots resemble a miniature Zamboni®. I couldn’t find out who the robots … Continue reading →

Made it to the Solstice 2021

Posted on June 20, 2021 by Steve
