  • If I did it

    I’m really sorry to those of you who have been waiting almost a week for this, but I hope you enjoy it as I put a lot of time and thought into it. I hope it was worth the wait, and I hope to get back to a more regular writing schedule in the upcoming…

  • A Purview of Happiness

    Hey everybody, I have decided that today is as good a day as any to take a little break from writing about “the future” in a literal sense and refer to it more in a figurative or literary sense. All of us want to be happy in some form, and the problem with this is…

  • Facebook Messenger

    Alright you guys, since you seem to hate everything you haven’t used already, can you please try this? Facebook Messenger: A free iOS and Android app which allows messaging and uses push notifications. Assuming you don’t want to use Google+, which already has this (Huddle) capability built into its iOS and Android apps, at least download…

  • Life, Interrupted

    Life, Interrupted

    Hello again, Sorry about taking so long to write a post, but I’ve been a little bit occupied with school and more generally life. I thought that today I would talk about an issue which has been close to my heart for a VERY long time now, basically from the first time I ever used…

  • Speaking in Code

    Speaking in Code

    Hello again, Today I am hoping to explore my thoughts on the world of coding and computer programming. I have been interesting in learning computer language for several years now, and the time seems as ripe as ever to start learning. The trouble I’m having has several prongs. The first and probably most important of…

  • Installing Google+ on iPad or iPod Touch

    I have seen the last couple days that there is a way to install Google+ on iPad or iPod Touch using the iPhone configuration utility. I tried that and when I plugged in my iPad I just got an error message from the utility, and after some minor troubleshooting I gave up. This morning, a…

    Bluetooth (Not space, sorry 🙁 )

    Hello all! It’s been a very busy week and I know you are all eager to read, because the Internet is just a horrible black hole without anything worth reading. I just briefly contemplated using that as a really terrible segue into talking about space (see my last post and how I had planned to…

  • Busy times call for short posts

    Busy times call for short posts

    Hey everyone, I’m going to be really busy this week, but I’m planning a longish piece on space and astronomy (with the last space station mission having just docked with the ISS) hopefully before the weekend! Anyhow, I did still want to share some of my favorite things with you, as a bonus today I…

  • Contract Killer

    Hello again, I have been asked to discuss the pros/cons of cell phone contracts. This is an issue which I’m sure impacts almost all of you, so hopefully you’ll get something out of it whether or not you actually care. First of all, in the 8 or so years I’ve owned cell phones (don’t quote…

  • A Time to Kill

    I wonder from time to time if I am too dependent on technology, and more specifically on being networked at all times. I currently have a cell phone service plan with unlimited data as well as a broadband cable internet package with a 300 GB cap. I do not have cable or subscribe to any…
