A sure fire way to waste away half of your Sunday afternoon and upset ones spouse is to start up a little lab to “try out some stuff”. Before you know it your office is littered with hard drives, scsi cabels and computer towers in various stated of decomposition. You spend half of your waking…
Now here is an interesting article I found. Its kinda tying in with the whole "Overload Reset Reboot" article I wrote earlier. I’m a big Java lover. Lets face it : Coffee is to me something that is something that is as common as the light of day. Beside it being a caffeine drink that…
If absence makes the heart grow fond, you guys and girls must be screaming for my return right now. I know. My hiatus in Blogging and contributing to the web has been going on for too long. The sweet irony of the thing is : It where extreme demands on my time and attention by…
We brake the hiatus with episode 5 : Superhero syndrome. A extra long geek-lifestyle show EVERY geek should listen to.

Sometimes reality just surprises you and you have to go with the flow. I was out last Saturday morning, browsing through our local weekly fleamarket. My initial goal being to snap some shots of old and discarded technology so I could do a little writeup about it. The weather was kind of cloudy and the…
Some of you might not even notice the little bird in the far left corner of our banner. Not very surprising. It has been there for a long long time. The original "heron’ sign is one that I chose as my personal "logo" over twelve years ago. Standing proud with arched wings it has been…

I sit in the main mess-hall of the GroupT college listening to some Norah Jones on my Ipod. Attention zeroed in on the screen of my macbook I hardly notice the not that bad looking girl that sits alone on the table next to me. Across the room a group of people is chattering away…
