I both love public media and company-wide email discussions. Today I was abusing company-wide emailing authority to send out the latest PBS OffBook video on 3D Printing. As a snarky aside, I mentioned that people should watch the video because their tax dollars paid for it. A developer quickly responded with a link to the [...]

I realized this morning that I spend way too much time thinking about robots. I don’t just mean the fun robots like the droids from Star Wars. Or how I really really want a Roomba. Or watching movies and tv shows about robots in them. Or reading a lot of sci fi. I mean big [...]

In Which Bradley Writes A Laymen Patent As A Means of Bitching About Something Glasshouse Preface I make typos. Frequently. Epically. There are probably going to be several in this post. What follows is not a chastisement of manmade typos, but rather a system for removing machine-made ones. Author Preface I am a big fan [...]

This obviously bears repeating: hating Amazon is not a [...]

I fell hard for Mass Effect. Sure, the gameplay might have been monotonous at times, but the story was epic. I mean epic in the classical literary sense of the word and the story played in a way that really focused on the strengths of video games. That is to say, in game decisions had [...]

Couple of stories have bubbled across my desk today both with a common thread that I personally disdain. The first, a story that seemed to break in Mother Jones last night, is that the famed TED lecture series was holding back a video on what could, but shouldn’t, be a controversial topic – the impact [...]

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending what turned out to be the third and final ROFLcon. On the surface, a convention about memes seems like a silly attempt to turn internet yucks into real world lulz. And while it’s true that I can now say, “I sat next to Tron guy,” or “I [...]

As a baby of the 80s, this video will bring back the memories. As a fan of mashup art, you gotta admit that this is pretty well done. This music is Michael Nyman’s “A Wild And Distant Shore”. Here’s hoping that someone isn’t being a copyright douche.
