I know. I know.  The title of this article is rather salacious.  You will soon find that this has very little to do with the Stanley Kubrick film. This has been a terrible year for me.  I really feel like this was a throw away disaster of a year personally and from a media standpoint as well.  I can’t think of a single sci-fi flick, horror movie, or TV show that was a whiz-bang world mover for me.  In lieu of this I thought I...

Folklore permeates the fabric of our lives.  Stories handed down through the ages that become part of our culture make us who we are.  We don’t think about it much in our day to day activities.  It is usually during special occasions that ritual and traditions are observed in an obvious fashion. We observe some of the oldest and most fantastic of these at this fall time of the year.

The story of Frankenstein has always been one of my favorites.  I love the romanticism and mysticism that surrounds it.  I also love science so it’s really a match made in heaven.  We all probably know the story of Frankenstein, which I won’t go onto here, but as usual I wanted to know more.

    I became fascinated recently by the realization that we all take for granted the durability of computers now days.  In the early days of computers many parts, for example vacuum tubes, had to be replaced constantly, almost every hour and sometimes more often.  Later on spools of magnetic tape had to be juggled in and out of use, being replaced or reused throughout the day whilst a computer churned away its massive calculations. ...

    Well, this is going to be a silly post.  I was conversing with a good buddy of mine, Jamie, at the office today and we have come up with the greatest idea EVER!.  I just had to write about it because it will revolutionize the entire world ad we want all the credit.  Now, its based on some pretty wild theoretical quantum fundamentals that aren’t all working just yet, but hey you can patent an idea, right?      Imagine if...
