  • A fight that is reaching in me right now.

    I have become a strong believer that the force of God is the force of love and that it can conquer anything. And that the force of Satan is hate. I have never found a time when I have had to struggle so much to resist the intense and powerful hatred that exists in me,…

  • I saw a movie last night sbout one mans search for what made people happy…

    Last night I saw Simon Pegg in “Hector and the Search for Happiness”.  Absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend it enough.  But, it caused me to think about what makes ME happy.  Of course the first thing that rattled into my nogin was the Tom T. Hall Song, “I Love…”.  You know,…”I love..”. But besides…

  • Day three…

    I just realize that it was day three of my daily blog. So what I have to say today? Apple is holding its annual worldwide developers conference and so they announce the latest versions of the iOS and OS X.  Sounds like nothing too major, but once again I’m disappointed to discover that they still…

  • Another Monday

    Somethings in the air today.  Rousted myself out of bed and immediately noticed something different.  The normally cool cloudy morning wasn’t really any warmer than usual.  But, the sun was out and there was a feeling that you could sense it was going to be the first really warm day of the year.  OK…here in…

  • Mr. Robot

    Yesterday, I finally got around to watching the pilot of a new series.  It’s called Mr. Robot, and the central character, Elliot, is a rather tortured looking network security expert by day, cyber vigilante at night.  The very first scene is set in a coffee shop he likes to hang out in.  Elliot meets the…

  • Random Ramblings Day One

    I’ve been writing this blog for God knows how many years, but I’ve never totally gotten the hang of what it supposed to be.  I think I’ve sort of gotten stuck on this idea that I always have to have something to say, and I need to approach it like the articles I’ve written for…

  • The Martians have arrived.

    You have undoubtedly read a lot about the new Apple Watch.  Having been a definitely apple Fan boy since I purchased my first 128K Mac in the early summer of 1984, I was VERY interested in it.  But, with a price take of about $600 for the main version, I just could not justify the…

  • Tesla may be bringing the solution to effective alternative power sooner than you think.

    We hear so much about the growth of solar and wind power as alternative energy sources, but they both have a downside.  They aren’t always “on”.  When the wind does not blow or the sun sets, alternative sources of power must be brought online.  Sadly, in some areas, this mean coal fired power plants often…

  • Are we too connected?

    Only a few weeks ago the San Francisco Bay Area was hit by what many were predicting would be the “storm of the century”.  We were warned via all the traditional media to expect intense rain, flooding, horrible traffic, basically the end of civilization. When it hit, though it did mess up traffice, ad cause…

Got any book recommendations?
