Sneak peek of the Rapture
The Rapture is predicted to start at 6 PM today May 21, 2011. Here’s a sneak peek for those who want to get a glimpse of what to expect.
GeeTasks Improves Google Tasks
I am always on the prowl for a new task management system for my computer and mobile devices. There are many solutions out there but none of them have been able to subplant my current favorite which is Google Tasks. Yes, I know it’s rather simple and limited compared to many of the new kids…
Google Art Project
Amit Sood from Google gave an exciting demo of the Google Art Project that he’s been working on for a while now. In short, we will be able to visit many museums online and zoom into classic works of art and even create our own art collections to share with others. Obviously, nothing will ever…
Office Space
I’m an I.T. professional and many of my colleagues have given me a hard time through the years for not seeing the 1999 movie “Office Space”. I finally gave in to see what all the fuss was about and I was blown away by how much I loved it. Not only was it funny, thanks to…
Essential Michelangelo Antonioni
My favorite Italian director is Fellini but I have to admit that I also love Michelangelo Antonioni and his unique voice in cinema.

Life is Beautiful
I’ve always liked this song but never knew who did it. The Shazzam app helped me find out while watching the trailer for a new Disney movie that’s using the song to promote African Cats. It sure sounds like Snow Patrol if you ask me. In any event, love the song.
Reinventing the Human Voice
Here’s an excellent example of how technology is helping famous film critic Roger Ebert find his voice again. It’s a fascinating look at the progress he’s made along with the technologies he’s used including one which involved slicing together a database of words he’s spoken in the past to create an audible library of phrases….
The Good Old Days
Just as everything old is new again, the converse is always true…everything new will be old someday. Will Twitter and Facebook still be around many years from now? Who knows… here’s a toondoo I put together about a conversation we might have in the future. By paisano | View this Toon at ToonDoo |…
