8:17am PST – I’m sitting here listening to a government official grilling a corporate representative on hate speech and how/when/if it is removed. As much as I detest the type of content currently at centerpiece of the discussion, it remains that the notion of the government in any way instructing corporations on how/when/if they must […]

Link: It’s Not The Same Moon There are only dribs and drabs of Sting that I enjoy, but this is definitely one of them. Quantum entangled; past, present, and future, concepts that spin in my mind as I listen to this. Definitely a universe of “someones” are dancing on the mental stage as well. You […]
(ref article: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/timstanley/100192299/send-these-horrid-hobbits-back-to-the-shire/) Given your purported educational background, I must admit that I am perplexed by your apparent inability to understand the recent fervor and enthusiasm that greeted the opening of the latest Tolkien classic rendered to film. I will assume for the moment that the bleach from your carefully frosted tips is the culprit; […]
Everywhere you look today, countries are bemoaning the lack of STEM engineers, or just engineers in general. The malaise is not without good cause, given that even the argument’s detractors get that companies aren’t willing to pay them, while others readily admit that, “…that there are shortages in specific fields and in specific regions…” and […]
Thanks to my daughter for this amazing recommendation. Karmic memory and a lot besides, I find this arrives in a good moment for many things… the usual meditations, memories of mudita, and the old moroseness that is long past moldering and gone. Somebody that I used to know, indeed. [youtube]8UVNT4wvIGY[/youtube] Lyrics: Now and then I […]
Ran across this today and found it pretty damned amazing: http://vimeo.com/35873217 The intersections of “real” and “online” sounds woven into a tapestry of music that is surprisingly more interesting and enjoyable than you’d suspect possible. Creative, geeky, and entertaining (the video is pretty cool, too)… enjoy!
GREAT article about digital talent (people who work in technology) that every company struggling with getting good talent (or keeping them) should really take to heart: http://www.fastcompany.com/1779120/embargo-1027-why-digital-talent-doesn-t-want-to-work-at-your-company Truly, I could not possibly have put it better myself; thanks, Fast Company – you read my mind (and heart).
If you read here often, then you know it’s pretty darn rare that I endorse or recommend products; first and foremost, I’m not that great a “consumer” and I don’t really live a consumer lifestyle. More importantly, I’m leery (at best) of making a recommendation that disappoints or otherwise doesn’t live up to the expectation […]
Humor, this? I think not… Oh, look! Another someone looking to polish their apple by taking a shot at a large company! Catch me; I may keel over from the shock! I wish I could say this was an amusing bit of satire, but it has a decidedly “sour grape” tone that ruins any such […]
