RE(Devon)THINKING My Brain
Long story short, I think I’ve made permanent changes in how I structure documents, blog posts, web pages and writing on the computer. A ticker tape parade ensues. Stock prices soar! At the end of the story, I’m moving away…
Demand High for Hi-Tech Built from Low-supply Minerals
First, I wonder if you’ve seen on the web what you’re likely to be seeing very soon out in the wild. They are pretty incredible, granted. Out of many examples, I give you Keecker and Microsoft HoloLens. RazzleDazzle Whiz Bang!…
Oh What a Tangled Web
This time six years ago, I was dreading the consequences of the choice I made to never go to Dell again–in a hatbox or otherwise. I was fed up with the PC blue screen and had heard that Mac JUST…
Old Dog, New Tricks
No this will not be a back to back Gandy post. I wouldn’t do that to you few who CAN get enough dog stories and pictures. But what I will do is get geeky on ya. I’m always looking for…
Every Step You Take
Google’s watching you. Go to while logged into any google app like g-mail. Turn back the calendar and follow your tracks anywhere your phone went on any given day. You can also turn on timestamps for any given time after you…
Rage Against the Machine
Except when it is your friend. I’m burned out, frankly, with so many emails, so many “edit this” assignments, so many changes of hats from one minute to the next here in the full flower of my “golden years.” I’ve created…
Analyse This: SCiO’s Crowdsourced Database of Matter

Earth and Sky
[su_vimeo url=”http://vimeo.com/98659207″] The first month is free, so in thinking I have “forced” myself to shoot more video, I’ve got an out. But I hope I find the Vimeo Plus account for $60 a year worth the expense to my…
Geek-Out on Goose Creek
Every so often I do a geek brain dump on the blog. I really don’t suffer the illusion that anybody gives a rat’s acetabulum about my particular computer workflow or preferred digital tools or what I do with them. But for…
Cost of Doing Business: Upgrades
I am at a certain time of life when everything I own (including my own personal body) is wearing out. I pulled on my favorite work pants last week and the knee ripped open. The same day, a favorite shirt…
Creek Jots ~ Earliest Spring 2014
I usually post “jots” towards the end of the week. So shoot me. Between income tax and company coming and the firewood supply giving out, my hands are full. So read below, from my abbreviated morning musing… [su_heading size=”14″]Spring has…
OneNote Has Entered the Building
And while I’m not showing it the back door, I’ll let it sit in the waiting room until it gets its act together. Color me disappointed. I will not rush to put my brain in it. Phil Libin, you can…
Is Faster Always Better in the Digital Future?
Faster Faster Faster! It’s always better than slow, right? More economical, more efficient, more productive. Surely you don’t want to be labeled as SLOW–a term we associate with dull, stupid or lazy. So don’t be a dull, stupid, lazy slow…
