how to load your dishwasher

I don’t know why it took me nearly 30 years to figure this one out, but I have come to the conclusion that the way most people load their utensils in the dishwasher is incorrect. I have been observing different people’s loading techniques over the past few years and realise that most everyone throws their […]

fres-yes – the dumbest city in the U.S.

My hometown, commonly referred to by me as the Detroit of California, is once again topping the bottom of the charts.  This time it makes the list as being “the dumbest city in the United States”.  How proud this makes me.  First we had Kevin Federline, then deemed the Meth Capital of the World by […]

dvorak geek

I am a pretty fast typist.  I think that I can type between 60-70 wpm on average.  But I also suffer from a lot of pain in my shoulders and neck.  I think that this is due to the fact that being such a geek about 80% of my waking hours are spent in front […]

district 9 floats my boat

I have to admit that I loved District 9. It is quite possibly the funniest movie that I have seen in ages.  Plus it is super geeky. So great. I highly recommend it.

which twitter posts I enjoy most

I am a fickle Twitter user.  I am probably considered to be a  “power user” because I follow 200 people, but that number changes on a daily basis because I like to keep my feed fairly clean and follow people on a trial basis.  I have very limited patience for what I deem to be […]

the future of comm? 3d hologram

Last week I had the pleasure to check out some super cool technology by a company here in London called Musion.  They do 3D hologram technology.  And it is the future. I had watched a few videos of their technology in use at conferences, but I was hardly prepared for what I was going to […]
