Lessons from the VCR Clock Flashing 12:00

So, continuing some thoughts I started in my earlier entry, “Things That I Don’t Understand” (a limitless topic, to be sure), I revisit the VCR Clock Flashing “12:00″ Scenario (where the inability to program one’s VCR, as demonstrated by the flashing 12:00 on the VCR display, was an indicator of other forms of technological incompetence.)

#140conf – Day 1 Recap from 140Conf LA

I arrived on Monday in Los Angeles to attend the “Very Important Characters (VIC)” event and got to see some old friends and meet some new ones. After a great evening I got a great night’s sleep and got to the Kodak Theatre early to see everything kick off.
I have been to LA more times [...]

Things That I Don’t Understand

Back in the days of Internet Bubble 1.0 (right around the turn of the popular millennium), I used to pause every once in a while to look around at the swirling maelstrom of Internet-enabled technologies that we (and that’s a very collective “we”) were unleashing on the world.

I thought about turning my illness into an entry discussing how the CDC and other [...]
