    A week doesn’t go by where we see news reports of a single house fire, small or large multi family building go up in flames. Dozens of people are displaced and often, someone dies. But when you think about it, fires in businesses seem to be less common. This is probably due in part to businesses being more regulated along with having better fire safety rules in place to recognize and prevent vulnerabilities. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries Charts for 1992-2007, fires and explosions accounted for 3% of workplace fatalities in 2007. IOSHA…

Javelin Strategy & Research estimates that nearly 12 million Americans were victims of identity theft in 2011—a 13% increase over 2010. Interestingly, but not surprisingly, Javelin attributes this increase to the proliferation of smartphones and the popularity of social media, in addition to several major data breaches resulting in tens of millions of records being…

    Jack Tramiel, who founded Commodore International, passed away this past Sunday at the age of 83.  Born in 1928, Tramiel survived Auschwitz and a labour camp in during World War II, and later emigrated to the United States and started building typewriters.  He later set up Commodore Business Machines in Toronto for supply chain purposes, and branched into computers with the Commodore PET, which was a staple of computer classes in schools at the time. It was the Commodore PET that inspired me to get my first computer, the VIC-20.  Before then, I was always “into art”. In particular, I…

    Ever since the days of the original Palm Pre, worries about saturated market has permeated many reviews and reports about new entrants in the smartphone ‘race’. A lot of the tech press were raising flags, suggesting Palm was in a “too little, too late” position. Palm was certainly in the “too little” category, I’d argue they were far from “too late”.  There were a lot of problems with Palm’s WebOS reboot, few of which had to do with timing.  Unfortunately, because Palm (via HP) did crash and burn, it reinforces the idea that…

In Skype, I tried to disconnect from Facebook, but there was only an option to connect to Facebook. So, to disconnect Skype from Facebook: go to Skype –> Home (or press the Home-icon) –> Connect to Facebook if the option to disconnect isn’t there –> Disconnect from Facebook Now the Facebook messages are gone.

But I’d still like it to be better. I want to be able to subscribe to podcasts and have them download in the background when there’s WiFi.

Many moms went through their entire grade school and high school years without access to anything more high-tech than a typewriter, while kids have computers, tablets, smartphones, scientific calculators and various additional high-tech devices at their fingertips for completing schoolwork. Although these differences can often make it more difficult for moms and…

You may just have a great alternative in The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses tour, as it has a show on the second day of E3 (June 6th at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles). From what I’ve heard of it, the arrangements are absolutely phenomenal. The concert series covers a multitude of Zelda games, and it pays particular attention to Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and (excitement explosion incoming) A Link to the Past, one of the greatest games of all time (no bias here, really).

    Chronicle is one of those movies that completely took me by surprise. When I first saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be another teenage flick trying to capitalize on the whole found-footage craze while jumping on the generic superhero (Jumper, Push) bandwagon. Boy was I wrong. This is one of the best comic book/found-footage films out. We’re introduced to Andrew, a troubled teen with a crappy life. His dad is an abusive drunk and his mom is really ill. He decides that from now on, he’d videotape everything to keep him sane and to document everything that’s happening in his…

    Assuming that all Sonic games require the use of blast processing, Sega is apparently handing out their middleware to just about everyone these days.

    Miss the beginning? Start with part 1. Previous When I woke I felt the comforts of a nice bed, sheets and a decent enough pillow under my head. Despite my confusion I laid in bed an hour or so, not asleep, just to enjoy the sensation once again. I’d been in my own bed less than a week ago. Why did it feel like so much longer? The room I was in looked new. It was a small room, with wooden walls and not much else. Nice and plain. If I turned my head a bit, I could see that the on the right side of the bed there stood a small table, about bed height. It held a extinguished candle, still…

    Back in 2008, Marvel Studios began a journey. They decided to self-finance a movie of one of their most popular franchises, Iron Man; a huge success. Next came The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor and finally Captain America. Each one of these movies served a purpose. Not only to introduce (or in The Incredible Hulk‘s case, re-introduce) their title characters, but also to lay the ground work for a movie so many comic book fan-boys were hoping for. An Avengers movie. The Avengers is not just a comic book movie. Since it’s almost a sequel in a way, it helps to have seen the…

    The Tower of Adorable! Too much cute jewelry. I have a Tower of Adorable, so named by @awayindreaming. I have way too much cute jewelry so I figured I’d do an artsy picture thing. Bob’s Burgers is epic. I love the amazingness that is Bob’s Burgers. I first knew I’d love it when I heard the voice of Bob and realized it was H Jon Benjamin, who does the voice of Coach McGuirk, the delightful drunk soccer coach from Home Movies, one of my favorite cartoons of all time. And wouldn’t you know it, Bob’s Burgers is created by Loren Bouchard, creator of Home Movies…

    I’m working with the lovely @karla_porter on putting together a local blogging conference, NEPA BlogCon. This is expected to be an annual convention for bloggers and Internet people alike. Karla is an over caffeinated woman after my own heart and in addition to NEPA BlogCon, she is spreading her talents all over the place and working on 5 million things at once (just like me!) She’s also involved with the local NEPA Veterans Multicare Alliance and running a boot camp to help veterans get back to work. So I did some pro-bono work for her and designed 2 digital billboards for her…

  • My ROFLCon Guest Panelist Re-cap

    I was asked to be a guest panelist in a ROFLCon chat room moderated by none other than the awesome Lauren O’Nizzle who works for the CBC Community. What an awesome opportunity!! Basically a “guest panelist” is sort of just a cool Internet type person who is a featured guest in the chat… and who is sort of… well known, or something. Like an Internet celebrity. Yes… that’s what I am… >.> The guest panelists join a room moderated by Lauren and then anyone can join the chat to see the conversation. I got even more excited when I saw the guest list…

    A professor at Indiana State University named Aaron Michael Morales contacted me last year. He found my lovely blog and more specifically he found my How intelligent and cool I think I am based on the number of drinks I’ve had chart. He was in the process of writing American Mashup: A Popular Culture Reader and I think because I am so popular and cultured he picked me to feature. My cartoon is featured to showcase how it’s become pretty common for our generation to exploit alcohol and consequently make fools of ourselves. Our perception of our selves becomes altered and often…

  • Put a Ring On It

    Dan
    15 May 2012 | 12:12 pm
    The last few days have been particularly unusual and interesting, which is good because I have something completely different  to talk about today. I regularly go for walks around the local wildlife reserve. Most days if I’ve got time and the weather is OK. I decided to pick up an events leaflet and was surprised to find that there some events of interest. So I took the plunge and decided to book them. The first event was a bird ringing demonstration. Bird ringing involves catching wild birds and putting a small ring on their leg or recording the numbers if a bird already has a ring.

    Today we have EIGHT songs to check out and it’s an interesting mix. First up today is Jason Mraz’s big hit I’m Yours, which has re-entered the chart this week. I am thinking that this will probably Jason’s one hit that makes him a wonder. If you’ve not heard this song before, where on earth have you been over the last five years? This was a MASSIVE hit but actually I didn’t like it that much. I mean I like it but I don’t love it as much as everyone else does.  So there. You’ve gotta like it though, it’s a masterpiece of a love song. 4/5. She’s back with another…

  • May Movie Month- Part Two

    Dan
    13 May 2012 | 4:33 pm
    Part One My mission to watch 31 movies in May continues! I managed to catch up this week and then get two days behind again. I should complete the challenge though as I’ve got loads of spare time after this week with which to watch movies in. Let’s take a look at the movies I’ve seen this week! 6) From Russia With Love Myself and my housemate Josh watched this classic James Bond film together. Sean Connery is a great Bond but this isn’t really a great movie. Nothing happens. The plot is pretty complicated but not really very satisfying and there’s just not a lot for you to be…

  • The Demise of Fred II

    Dan
    12 May 2012 | 2:22 pm
    A terrible thing happened yesterday. My good friend Fred II died a most horrible death. I am devastated. Let me explain further. You know when you get a computer there’s an option to give it a name? Well for some reason my Dad called the family desktop computer George. I was the first one in the household to get a laptop back in the day and as a sort of brother to George I called the new laptop Fred. Five years later I replaced the laptop with Fred II. So that’s who Fred II is. Don’t worry, I haven’t quite lost a close friend. But it’s still very frustrating. Fred II was not very…

    Previously: I’m studying to be a teacher. I recently spent a month on school experience. Yesterday I was summoned for a meeting to discuss my recent school experience. It doesn’t sound good… I liked having a previously bit. I like kidding myself that my life is as exciting as a TV show. I feel this blog has lost it’s way a bit lately and the best posts are me recounting my “adventures” so I’m trying to do that a bit more. So anyway, onto the cliff-hanger! I eventually climbed the ridiculous maze of a building that is our faculty building and found the head of school…

  • Yes, Gadgets Work Under your Skin

    Fellow GEEK
    15 May 2012 | 5:54 pm
    A team from Autodesk a company known more for their design software than their hardware research wanted to know the answer to a fairly simple question if you embedded existing technologies like button bluetooth LED’s and a touch sensor work if they were embedded underneath the skin It turns out yes. Every single one of them works as if they were on top of the skin rather than under it. Skin proved to be of little hindrance to bluetooth and embedded quite literally in this case devices could maintain a connection with little trouble. They were even able to charge the device by using…

  • China Breaks Teleportation Record 97 Kilometers

    China has managed to teleport a quantum state 97 kilometers. That breaks the standing teleportation record of 16 kilometers by 81 kilometers. This is big big news for communications. Teleportation in the real world hardly resembles teleportation on television. For one thing there is much less glitter. For another real teleportation is all about transferring information and synchronizing particles. It might not seem as sexy but quantum teleportation like this could revolutionize global communications. The idea is simple when one photon at one point is changed another photon at the other end…

    Intel is working on shrinking the processor to sizes never before seen or so says their new roadmap. Currently in production are 22 nm chips. The next generation that is in development is a line of 14 nm chips and Intel is working on developing manufacturing methods for producing 10 nm 7 nm and 5 nm chips.

    This is it folks. SpaceX has finally been given the go ahead to launch the Dragon capsule towards the International Space Station. After months and months of delays which we now know were the result of NASA not being comfortable with the craft flying near the ISS without having intimate knowledge about it SpaceX will be launching May 19th. In case you are wondering what all the hoopla is about this will mark the first time that a commercial spacecraft one not created by a government body or a nation will dock with the ISS. Hell it will be the first time that a anyone but a government will…

  • Humans Experience World in Snapshots, not Continuity

    Fellow GEEK
    14 May 2012 | 5:49 pm
    We like to think that we see the world as it is a constantly shifting place of possibilities. But new research shows that our brains perceive a series of disconnected moments snapshots as it were that are then interpreted as a continuous stream of information. Explained Professor Gregor Thut of the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology “Rhythms are intrinsic to biological systems. The circadian rhythm with its very slow periodicity of sleep and wake cycles every 24 hours has an obvious periodic effect on bodily functions. Brain oscillations – the recurrent neural activity that we see…
