Nostalgia

Have I ever mentioned that summer is my favorite season?

One reason is (I think only naturally) happy childhood memories. I recall, as a child, experiencing a certain joy when I heard some far away music, coming closer … as it heralded the arrival of a certain truck…

Weekend Grab Bag

Howdy Folks. I hope your week was ‘fair to middlin’ (as my Missourian friends say), and that you are enjoying your weekend.

I did not see any interesting tech items this past week (yes, I’m aware of Apple’s new iOS, and that there’s a new amazon phone and Samsung phone, and all the rest, but.. yawn. Same old same old).

Well, I did find this somewhat amusing: The mighty Apple has become the Android imitator

All I can do is shake my head. Why? Samsung re-invents a wheel and gets sued. Apple does the same thing and smiles all the way to the bank.Read more..

[ Actually, if you do a search for apple copies android, you’ll see results dating back further than iOS 5.. ]

This weekend’s Fun Video:

A Different Sort of Sunday Beauty

Folks, this week’s “pretty picture” is rather different than my usual.. and I bet it is something you have never seen before. Have you ever wondered what the Internet looks like?

This Is the Most Detailed Picture of the Internet Ever (and Making it Was Very Illegal)

Click on image to see more (reco’d)

I made it kinda small, as I hope this will intrigue you enough to click on the image. Doing so will take you to the very interesting article I stole borrowed it from.. The very interesting guy there has more images, and explains how it was made — which should cause a few of you thinkers out there to have a thought or two..

So click on the image, or click here, and see the movie and read about how this ‘map’ was made. You won’t be sorry you did.
