Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari, is now claiming that TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chips that are installed on many new motherboards will make it impossible to pirate game software.
While it’s true that the TPM chips he’s talking about will present a seriously increased challenge, there’s no doubt at all in my mind that determined hackers, [...]

Where’s Bob’s House?

May 6th, 2008

Looking to inject another bit of humor here, I ran across this little gem on YouTube. It’s Pepsi’s 2008 Super Bowl ad. The YouTube Description reads:
A unique and hilarious commercial illustrating a popular joke in the deaf community. Created and enacted by deaf members of the Pepsico workforce, EnAble.
I have to agree, it’s [...]

Rocket Sled

April 20th, 2008

It occurs to me that I don’t often post much humor here so I thought this would be a perfect time to share this gem from a few years back. It was a Super Bowl commercial of course and like many of them it’s funny as all get out.
Just the same though, I don’t [...]

A Pearl By Any Other Name

March 5th, 2008

Many people are familiar with the Shakespeare line from Romeo and Juliet:
What’s in a name? that which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet.
Now I don’t know about most people but once in a while I actually think of that line, partly because I like Shakespeare, partly because I’ve seen [...]

It’s a Jungle Out There

October 10th, 2007

When I saw the url www.thejunglestore.com it made one of those mental word association things (you know, “It’s a jungle out there”) and I just HAD to take a look. Well it certainly IS a jungle out there alright… a *stuffed* jungle. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any one place that has [...]

“I’m an Internet expert too. [...]

Take for example the phrase Pigeon Forge vacation rentals. The first thing that came to my mind was vacation rental properties in one of those theme towns [...]

Taking My Own Advice

August 24th, 2007

In my last entry I said that injecting some humor once in a while helps to lighten the mood and remind people that you’re just another person. Well, I’m taking a minute to practice what I preach.
Here I present a little goodie that my wife found and linked on her blog along with several [...]
