OMG it’s been along time since I last wrote here! Someone asked me the other day why I haven’t posted in so long, and my response was “dunno…just haven’t felt the muse, I guess”. Weak-sauce! So…time to post. Although…I can’t say as I have a whole lot to say. Not much is sticking in my [...]

I’m seriously thinking of removing this app. I think it’s a good app. It’s one of the few good apps on facebook; it’s one that can be used on a regular basis and is an effective way of transmitting rich media information to your whole network without having to email everyone. Not [...]

“Among the things Billy Pilgrim could not change were the past, the present, and the future.“ Slaughterhouse Five, 1969
I had forgotten that line, and how funny I thought it was when I first read it some years ago. I read today that Kurt Vonnegut passed away yesterday from complications that came from a head injury [...]

So I’ve decided to take the plunge and get my own domain for this blog and maybe some other things as well. So I’m curious what people think I should do to go down this path. Is there a hosting site that’s best and cheap? Should I just go with GoDaddy or is there someone [...]

Is it just a blip, or am I noticing the Mac starting to become the “i want” of next computers for more people than ever before? I know my next computer will be a Macbook, and I seem to hear the same thing from more and more people all the time. Matter of [...]

I’m so far behind in blog-o-rama…oh well; the joys of holidays (more on the funny road names outside of chilliwack in a later post…)
Anyways, a few days ago Duane decided to start up the CFL challenge. As we’ve recently been informed, it appears there’s an 85% possibility that global warming has [...]

Look —>
I added Meebo to the blog. Not sure if it’s useful or not…let me know what u all think. It does seem to think I’m off line right now so maybe it doesn’t work so well? I dunno. Anyways…there.
BTW—comments now outnumber posts on the blog. Yay.

Blogspace reality check…
***/me puts on the ol’ MadVoiper hat…****
Ahhh sometimes it’s sweet to live in a bubble of self generated pseudo reality. When we spend alot of time inside a particular industry or media we tend to lose perspective on things outside that, and we start to generate our own reality.

WordPress ate my post!!!
So I wrote this brilliant post about IM communications. I mean, this was a fabulous post…full of insight and amazing observations, and was bound to bring me fame and power in the blog-0-sphere. The money and notoriety it would have brought me is almost uncountable! I went to post it and I get a message [...]

The banned words list
The annual Lake Superior State University list of stupid overused words that deserve to die is out. Now, for the most part I find this year’s list a bit weak; there are plenty of other words that could also be served with death penalties. Where is “sweet”, “meh”, and “pimp”(although I think pimp [...]

Cool little book app
So I was on Neil Gaiman’s awesome blog and found this awesomely cool little web app. Basically you type in a book title and it gives you a list of books who’s owners definitely would NOT have the book you listed. I found that most every book I entered ended up with a bunch of [...]

Geek Girls – oh how I loves ‘em!
I kinda have a thing for geek girls…not sure why. Nothing like a hot, smart girl, preferrably smarter than me (although that’s not all that difficult to achieve) who can give the good lovin’ AND fix my home network. Mrrrooowwwwrrrr. Even better if she can recommend the best graphics card and help me remove the [...]

The Internet: 2 years to legal!
So apparently the World Wide Web as we know it had it’s 16th birthday yesterday. I’m a little bummed I missed it…it would have been a great excuse to buy a DQ ice cream cake. It’s hard for me to believe that the internet is only 16 years old; I think of all the hours [...]

I spend a certain amount of time thinking about the ebb and flow of traffic (generally when I’m sitting in a gridlock wondering why we’re stopped). Often, a slow traffic situation is caused simply by some scaredy cat going 10 or 15% below the flow of traffic. Obviously, an accident is a whole different story, [...]

Ahh Pluto, we barely knew ye…
So the news comes out today that the universe as we know is being altered. Well, the solar system anyways. The 9 planets we all memorized in grade 3 have become 8, thus giving today’s children an unfair advantage over the rest of us. Unless of course they now have to memorize the categories and [...]

As any good geek, I am a full fledged member of the Star Wars generation, and have an innate ability to relate anything to the original three movies. So I’m going to relate the telco world to them today. Of course it’s not completely parallel, so please forgive all my… um…shoehorning into the story line. [...]

…the Digium and asterisk guy, who recently was named to Inc.com’s 30 under 30 list. I would think this is a huge honor to someone, and I think it’s well deserved. For those who don’t know, Askterisk is an open source IP PBX that is in a bazillion or so different enterprises. I didn’t [...]

Poor Vonage
So if you follow the industry you’ve probably seen Vonage’s massive fall from grace the past month or two. First they have an IPO that should never have been done (their cost of acquistion is so high due to the marketing that there’s no way this would be a smart buy stock) at 17 plus [...]

So in the losing battle for net neutrality and saving the beautiful anarchy we’ve enjoyed for a decade and a bit, the winning quotes come from the guy who makes the decisions. Senator Ted Stevens is a senator (hence the Senator in front of his name) out of Alaska, and happens to be the “Chairman [...]

The next step to mass adoption…
Skype has announced that they have inked a deal with Packard Bell to place a Skype button on the keyboards of Packard Bell PC’s. This is a fairly big step in the evolution of VoIP as it now becomes a piece of your hardware instead of just a software add on. Not that [...]
