For Registered Users

This blog has been getting a lot of spam in the form of fake new users. So I had to institute a captcha process to prevent bots from adding fake users to the blog. It’s not as annoying as a lot of captchas you see. It just asks for a simple math solution when you try to use a form on this site, like the login page. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I will probably be deleting a lot of the new users, if they seem fake. So if your account gets deleted by accident just re-register. Again, sorry for this but it was getting out of hand.

Typical Obama Misdirection

At the same time the administration is pimping a “privacy bill of rights” they are telling the Supreme court they want to be able to do warrantless wiretaps without restriction.

Worst president ever.

Wearable Computers

The next phase in mobile devices are computers you can wear. The tiny smart phone will be replaced by something you wear around your neck or is built into your clothes (in a special compartment perhaps), that makes the world your interface. I say in 5 years or so the prototype you see here will be real and much slicker and smaller. And available for not a lot of money. Maybe less than $100 eventually.

So iphone and andrioid users, your slick futuristic device is about to become obsolete.

Already, there are more smart phones than desktop computers, so the mobile computer is the standard device for most people, This trend will accelerate. The beauty is, you can read books or watch movies on any decent surface because the projectors will be higher resolution that what you see here. HDTV projectors or better will be in these devices which will be smaller and lighter than the current smart phone.

The Man Behind the Curtain

Space Runaway: Ideon

Way back in the early 1980s I was a huge anime fan way before it was cool or popular. And to this day I still love the theme to this show. The whole soundtrack is great, actually. And the story is inspired in that it was so completely original in its day and a precursor to shows like Evangelion. While the main characters red Jewfro and the rather poorly chosen names for the villains and some of the characters dates it, Space Runaway: Ideon is a classic.

Here’s a beautiful trance remix of the closing theme to Ideon, which is also a song I love like the opening theme.
