I might be overdoing it-just a bit. While I was working on the project which will come to fruition one way or another by mid week- I pushed back from the “L” shaped desk that the S.O. gave me-which is the heart of Far East Cynic HQ- to marvel at my set up: Monitor connected… Continue reading In the command center…….

It is a blessing
To be holed up inside the house because of this: I needed the time to get caught up on this project. I spent most of the weekend holed up in my “man cave” writing draft after draft of a proposal and taking the occasional break to bang my head against the wall. It is not… Continue reading It is a blessing
Once again-with feeling.
Why you should be concerned about the upcoming Comcast NBC merger, and why Net Neutrality is important to you. A free and open internet is the single greatest technology of our culture, and control should not be at the mercy of corporations. 2 .A free and open internet stimulates competition. 3. A free and open… Continue reading Once again-with feeling.
But are they anatomically correct?
Cause if they are-I might have to buy one. “By your command“. AIST’s HRP-4C Cybernetic Human took the stage for “Dance Robot LIVE!” — a song-and-dance routine choreographed by Sam of the J-pop group TRF. Caprica may be closer to reality than we care to admit.
Sometimes-Bigger IS better
At least when it comes to TV’s. I saved some of my money from time in Romania this summer for the express purpose of buying a bigger and better TV. A SAMSUNG 55″ HD LED TV.

Otherwise you might find out the hard way that your phone is sending out messages you would rather not. A Tweet, like this one, is actually saying this. The Web site I… Continue reading The stalkers…….
Net Neutrality
I am a strong supporter of Net Neutrality-and for that reason I continue to view the Verizon-Google deal as a bad thing for all of the rest of us. Spike found a good primer that explains why: [Via: Online MBA Programs]
Aftermaths……..
The big dogs are finally out of here! As a result, it made me think of this post I wrote up a few years ago-that is worth reviewing again. It’s review of Slogans and cliches is probably worth looking at again: The high muckety mucks are outta here!!!!!!! They are on the train to Narita,… Continue reading Aftermaths……..
Caprica
When I was a young man, I was a fan of the short lived TV show, Battlestar Galatica. I was going through flight school, there had been only one Star Wars movie and the Galatica seemed like an aircraft carrier. Besides-the chicks on the show were pretty hot. When its reimagined version came out a… Continue reading Caprica
This is why I support net neutrality…
Because companies should not tell you how much data you can use. I consider myself virtually addicted to my iPhone. I obsessively check my e-mail on it (4 accounts!); I listen to streaming music as I type on my computer at work; I surf the Internet fairly often; and I’ve got dozens of data-driven apps. Unlimted data… Continue reading This is why I support net neutrality…
