Past perfect

KIA wonders if in 1000+ years anyone will find a hard drive and be able to restore it like this.   One millenium and more in a bog and we’re still reading it. 

Perfect timing

As the Mid East bows up, again, KIA found this article about releasing the country from dependence on foreign oil.  Without the oil wealth how combustible would those countries be these days?  If the pollution is the same as deisel why not increase the conversion rates or ask the manufactures to install original systems?  Can anyone [...]

Cryptology lives in us

The secret of life will be found by cryptologists if we keep looking for codes in codes in codes.  The DNA sequencing has been found to have at least one underlying code. Can more be far behind?

Clean It Up!

Well, the basics are getting a facelift with a net connected home laundry. Only a matter of time before the laundromat biz sees the same and we will be in at ground floor on a revolution. Again. The future is here now.  There were audio reports on NPR in the last day of a different [...]

Blog Book

Well, finally the nice merger of the blogosphere and “real” books–automatically, naturally is here.  It was only a matter of time and while still in beta it looks quite finished to KIA.  Write that blog, comments on or off, and save it to hand out to fans, permanently.  The prices are still high but in time [...]

Toss in some phone tech and even the most careful consumers can be on the wrong end of one of these scams.  The single thieves are one thing, the organized ones…are, so far, outrunning the [...]

Splitsville and The Usual Reason

How many divorces are about the money? Billy Bragg and MySpace just split for the usual reason–money.  there may be a little respect thrown in but Mr. Bragg knew the rules before he joined.  Both sides get healdines and exposure and now to see if someone, anyone? (please?) can build a decent net business model in [...]
