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.)

Things That I Don’t Understand

November 3, 2009 :: Joe Loong

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.

November 2, 2009 :: Joe Loong

Right off the bat, I’m going to admit that this is pretty much a filler entry. I’ve been mostly laid up this week, working from home because I’m stricken with something that’s either a sinus infection or the flu (variety unknown).
