How dangerous are WAP URLS?
As things turn out, they are not dangerous at all.
A little diversion

There is a reason why I was never chosen to be an astronaut.

Tourist info for South East Michigan and my travels elsewhere.
It used to be that I would convince myself that something ‘wasn’t for me’ without having tried it. I convinced myself that ‘guys like me’ stayed home and read books - a LOT of books. That was an excuse to cover the fact that I couldn’t have gotten a date if my life depended on it.
I haven’t quite become a ‘bon vivant’ (yet), but I am listening to live music, seeing sights that I never believed I would and just tasting life more fully than before. I invite you to join me in this new phase of my life, one of exploration. My wife (things changed!) and I have been taking as many of our friends along as we could … we’d like it if you’d join us, too.
Currents Within, Winds Without — religion in a turbulent world.
With the possible exception of orphans cast ashore on desert islands and raised by sand crabs, everyone, whether they realize it or not, has some level of religious education and some opinion regarding the nature and value of worship. Even where there is no level of acceptance, there is a definite level of rejection. One way or the other, we end up making a stand for our beliefs.
In this blog, I give consideration to some of the issues that humans, particularly those who do believe in God, face. Some are peculiar to one perspective or another, some are universal. Unbelievers and others are free to discuss (calmly and peaceably) why I might be wrong.
We won’t always agree (nor should we) … but we can always make our best argument for a viewpoint and listen as others make theirs.
General observations about life in the > 55 lane.
To be honest, this is my first time growing old. I’m still not certain how to do it with any sort of grace. I’m not certain that is how I want to do it. Is there some sort of award for growing old with grace and dignity or is it okay to come sliding into home plate in a cloud of dust with your cleats high and yelling ‘yeee hawwwwww’?
Come along with me as I plow old ground for the first, and final, time in my life. Along the way, I’ll take a look at life as I see it. Maybe, by looking through my eyes, you’ll get a fresh perspective.
General Technology … geek stuff I’m not certain I understood the first time around.
Technology does not come to life and see use in a vacuum. It impacts lives or it has no value at all.
I discuss what each piece of technology means in terms of how we experience life and the world we live in.RFID’s are a pretty good technology for keeping people from shoplifting nail polish, chainsaws and suppositories. Yawn … that is so yesterday.But implantable RFID’s … now that’s relevant to tomorrow. It lets an individual be tracked in a crowd, targeted and dispatched remotely.
Crowd control using microwave radiation is getting final testing right now. In tests, the dosages are supposedly kept below lethal. But the knob for for cranking it up is there, and if it exists at all, it is meant to be used. Apparently, the microwaves will burn out the RFID’s. So all is not lost.
That is the sort of technology that grabs my attention. I intend to talk about it while I am still able.
In the past 20 years or so, the world has gotten measurably better and demonstrably worse. Technology is the fuel for both. If you’ve got a minute, let’s talk.
