Near Future Laboratory » Blog Archive » Digicult Interview Interesting article/interview. I like how the lab is positioning itself in that middle ground between immediate applications and future research. As they put it, “…a mixture of today’s seriousness and fantasy, utilitarian and non-utilitarian situations. It’s made out of cardboard, dirt, duct tape, tubes, bad wiring…
So I added this blog to my Facebook profile. So now this entry will notify everyone who reads this blog that I have a Facebook profile. Then again, this entry will also notify everyone on Facebook that I’ve notified everyone on Facebook that I have a blog. I should see if WordPress has a widget…
Buried in a MeFi thread was a link to Peter Schiff‘s latest essay on the US economy. If what he writes is true, then we are quite possibly way more fscked than previously believed. Yes, Mr. Schiff is notorious for his bearish views on the US economy. However, he lays out how the government is…
Probably my favorite day of the year…the day we get the extra hour moving from Daylight Saving to Standard time. Oh yeah! So I spent the extra hour revamping the blog a bit. While I was high on the blue background with wacky box thingers and on involving the dogs for some reason, I like…
So I’m sitting at the desk whiling away the hours until midnight by reading blogs from back when I first discovered the activity. Hats off to LukeLog and Meg (who used to be NotSoSoft back in the day). Reading as these kids / folks / people really invested a lot of effort in exploring the…

The cultural equivalent of unflavored gelatin – that’s what it is. It also brings in the locals and I don’t…
I like to drink lots of lukewarm, extra-strong coffee in a short period of time. If the coffee is strong enough, you will actually get the shakes. The associated euphoria also sparks some exciting creative thinking. If nothing else – it’s a cheap, easy, and legal high.
Trying to come up with two designs this weekend. Black Fez Productions, Conglomerated needs a new look and a bit of content. Something that can either sell BFP or sell Fezboy! to a design firm here in Flowertown. I’m getting quite comfortable with CSS layout and X-browser compatibility. I also want to start work on…
Fezboy! just had his ass handed to him in a friendly game of Scrabble.® A good game that did not feature so many extraordinary words, but ordinary words played extraordinarily. Final score: Wife of Fezboy 296Fezboy! 254
The Thunderchicken is no more. The automobile that has ferried Fezboy!’s wife for longer than he has known her himself went belly up last evening. There is some sadness in Fezdom today, but not so much as one might think. Yes, the Almighty Fez has pulled off one of the more ironical events of the…
