I would be remiss if I didn't take this opportunity to plug Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak's "No Agenda Show" podcast. http://www.noagendashow.com/ It's entering the eighth year, reaching its 700th s

I blame LOGO for opening my programming mindset beyond the confines of BASIC on a VIC-20. In 1986, that was the only tool readily available to me until an after-school class introduced me and other interested kids a bunch of computer stuff

Posture maintenance is one reason I fell in love with the Swopper, an "active sitting" stool that I describe to inquisitive friends as being equivalent to a "German-engineered exercise ball that looks like a stool and doesn't pop". I bought

I find it interesting that the only "live data" that it appears to be grabbing (at least in my case) is an occasional "YouAreHere1.mp3" and "YouAreHere1.1.mp3". Instead, in the console I get "Port error: Could not establish connection. Rec
