When my house was burgled earlier this week, the only irreplacable item they took was the miniDV tapes that held 12 months of moments from the lives of my 3-year old twins, Hunter and Taylor. Riding their first proper bicycles. The Christmas they got...

Wouldn't it be interesting if all of the items that were stolen from my house had been RFID'ed? And the pawn stores were required by law to check the RFID tags on any items brought in for sale. If they could check the ID details on the RFID tag and somehow...

Literally. My house got burgled yesterday while we were all out. First time for me. The thief didn't take much. $500 cash. $5000 worth of DVDs and CDs. But the thing that busts me up is that when they took my miniDV video camera, they took with the case...

Don't you hate it when you have some technical issue and you procrastinate getting it resolved and then, when you do finally get around to it, it only takes minutes to sort out!? My home ADSL connection has been slooooow for the last couple of months...

I've been trying for a couple of years to figure out what kind of tattoo I should get. My sister got a bluebird on her foot a year ago. I realize I am going to have this for the rest of my life and so I want to choose carefully. Recently I've been thinking...

I've been arguing this myself for a couple of years and it's good to see music industry analysts starting to agree . Having a physical cd is of little interest to me these days. They just clutter up my house. If I am going to buy music, I would rather...

There’s been a lot of hoo-hah going on over the last month about DJ Danger Mouse’s The Grey Album , a remix of Jay Z's Black Album with the Beatles' White Album. It’s obviously illegal , but what is most interesting to me is the amount...

Interesting new stats being reported on hacks against Linux. I've also read these reports in Slashdot recently. What I'm most interested in understanding is: who are these people who are hacking Linux and what is their motivation? I can kind of understand...

I'm reading Buzz Bruggeman's updates of Demo 2004 . It sounds like lots of cool stuff has been shown there. And, by the way, if you haven't already tried it, check out Buzz's product Activewords . I'm using it more and more to speed up the way I work...

ShareALot is a new photo sharing service that's been getting some column inches today due mostly to the launch of their product at DEMO (and don't get me started about how upset I am that I'm not there in person...). ShareALot is promoted as as application...

Finally Microsoft has a cool ad . Down here in Australia we haven't been fortunate enough to be frustrated by the first SPOT watches, so I am fascinated by reviews like the one Scoble posted recently . When I was in NYC recently the place was SMOTHERED...
