Smart New Uses for Old Technology: SSID to Broadcast a Message
Cellphones in Timbuktu
It’s easy to think of people from the underdeveloped world as quite different from ourselves. After all, there’s little to convince us otherwise. National Geographic Specials, video clips on the Nightly News, photos in every major newspaper – all depicting a culture and lifestyle that’s hard for us to imagine let alone relate to. Yes [...]
Pearltrees: A Great New Tool for Bloggers and Journalists
Recently, I’ve been working with a new tool that I think anyone that uses the web regularly is really going to appreciate: Pearltrees. The company – which is based in France – has been developing this tool for a few years but in the last few days they have released their latest version and in [...]
[Most] Companies Don’t Get Social Media
As someone that actively works in social media I’ve become progressively more convinced that the majority of companies don’t have a clue about social media or the importance it can play in the way a company presents itself. Granted, there are some companies that do understand the potential benefits that they can derive from a [...]
Rules is Rules…
Good news: It was a normal day in  Sharon  Springs, Kansas when a Union Pacific crew boarded a loaded coal train for the 234 miles trek to Salina . The Bad news: Just a few miles into the trip a wheel bearing became overheated and melted, letting a metal support drop down and [...]

The problem, originally received attention by the Cleveland Plains Dealer, a local newspaper, when a reader wrote in to complain about the issue. Soon another 400 area [...]
Here’s a Great List of Free Open Source Software for Mac
You may have seen this list already, but I hadn’t come across it before just now and it was good enough I thought it was worth sharing in case anyone besides me had somehow missed this before. Enjoy.
District 9 Opens Today: here’s a “pre” preview
Neill Blomkamp who previously directed Halo and Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame are behind the massively promoted new movie District Nine which opens today nationwide. I’m assuming most readers of this blog are Sci-fi fans who plan on eventually seeing this new film. What you might not know is that Blomkamp actually [...]
Listening 101 Should be a Required Course for All Physicians
Recently I’ve noticed something with physicians and it has begun to bother me a lot. They don’t seem to listen to their patients anymore. Granted, it is possible that I’ve just been unlucky with the doctors I have seen recently but it seems odd that in the past 24 months every single doctor I’ve visited [...]
