I held an iPad – Now I Must Own One
Honestly, I don’t know which to write about first – The New Doctor Who or the new iPad. As I sit here on the sofa with my nice, shiny new MacBook Pro (which I love dearly, it’s a wonderful laptop) I can’t help thinking, “Hey, there’s an iPad version of WordPress just waiting for me.” … Read more
iPhone Gripe
This is the first time I’ve ever used “airplane mode” on my iPhone. Why? Because the hotel we’re staying in is a complete cell phone dead zone. Neither my AT&T nor Irene’s T-Mobile us working. Why airplane mode? Because the phone is seeking a signal and running the battery down at a staggering rate. I’ve … Read more
Doctor Who on the Wii
Honestly, this is in the Sun, which makes it about as reliable as Fox News, but, supposedly, Doctor Who will be coming to the Wii for Xmas. Apparently, the project has been in the works for a while, but the developers just can’t get into the “spirit” of Doctor Who. Former Doctor David Tennant said … Read more
Stop Picking on the BBC
While the BBC may have it’s problems, it’s the envy of the world, or so says David Mitchell in this week’s Observer. I agree, or I wouldn’t be posting this here. These contradictions make it very easy to find fault with the BBC and let its critics evade the real question which is, simply: do … Read more
New MacBook Pro – Initial reactions
By now you all know the sad tale of my home being burglarized last month and the villains getting both my wife’s laptop and her iMac. Luckily, my old laptop was with me, or it I have no doubt would be gone, too. My wife decided she didn’t need a desktop and a laptop and … Read more
Neil deGrasse Tyson on Science Fiction Movies
I just don’t give my blog enough love lately. I always seem to be posting videos and links to Facebook instead of here, so, here’s a good one. Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of the most articulate and entertaining scientists and skeptics out there. Here he is talking about one of my favorite topics: Technical … Read more
A light in the tunnel for Simon Singh?
I think I’ve been neglectful about reporting on Simon Singh’s case. I suppose it’s too late for me to go into a comprehensive summary of the case, but let me hit the high points as I recall them. Simon Singh is a science writer in the UK, he wrote a critical article about chiropractors and … Read more
Fusion Patrol on Vimeo
I’m experimenting a bit with Vimeo instead of YouTube. So far, quality on Vimeo looks much better. This is the first in a probably endless series of videos put together from years of all the junk we shot for Fusion Patrol. Alternate Fusion Patrol Titles (1995, Unused) from Eugene Glover on Vimeo. Originally shot in … Read more
Charlie Brooker on Psychics and Creationism
I’ve only recently heard of Charlie Brooker, when one of his videos concerning how news reports are made went viral (or at least viral in the circles I follow.) Since then, I’ve been “catching up” with his series, Screenwipe and Newswipe where he has a very refreshingly incisive view of television and the news. Here … Read more
