Local boy does (not so) good…allegedly. And worse, he’s a Robertson County Commissioner. There are now as many as 40 people who say they are owed millions, and a criminal investigation is under way. Robertson County Commissioner Shannon Polen already faces three civil suits. I went to high school with Shannon, and it would be fair to say we were friends on some level. I mean, we didn’t hang out Read More ...
Android as Google’s Moat – I like this take on Android as a defensive product for Google. I also like what that implies for us as consumers–costs keep decreasing while functionality keeps increasing. Can you believe someone wanted to charge for a web browser at one time? Now there are several free browsers, and they are still trying to out-do each other in features and speed!

…this video is boring. For the rest of us, it’s 100% nuts. Make sure you watch it in full screen. You’re going to be holding your breath most of the way through it, but try to remember to breathe. Your body is going to need air in order to keep saying, “OMG! OMG! OMG!” VCA 2010 RACE RUN from changoman on Vimeo. HT Gadling
I was just checking out the speech to text feature in Chrome’s v11 beta, and I have to say, it’s pretty good. Even if you sound like you have a mouth full of marbles like I do, it does a decent job…at least a good enough job that you could speak long documents and go back to edit by hand later. I bought some software not too long ago to Read More ...
It’s a simple four step process: Step 1: Do some stuff that makes your opponents really mad. Step 2: Put your junk in that box. Step 3: Do things that make many of the people who defended you in Step 1 really mad. Step 4: Figure out a way to piss off the people who will blindly support you no matter what. That last step is pretty tough to accomplish, Read More ...
Digital Will – I could do a whole series of posts on this. Maybe I should. Maybe I will (no pun intended). Just try to cut off Netflix’s content supply – Can’t wait until the cable companies are skipped entirely and we can buy directly from the producers and/or networks. Win-win-win-lose. The “lose” is for the cable companies. The market will find a way. Jon Bon Jovi says Steve Jobs Read More ...
Mandatory DNA sampling threatens constitutional liberties – Check out my boy BCM in the Washington Examiner. Spotlight-Chasing Candidates of 2012 – Some of these things are not like the others. Mr. Will focuses on two of the three spotlight-chasers. Thankfully, he doesn't even give the third a passing mention. Make a Local Backup Of Your Gmail Account – Was just telling someone how awesome the cloud is…and how you need Read More ...
Facts: Labor Day and Memorial Day are the two best holidays. They feel like Sundays, but Chick-fil-A is open. Waffle fries can hold ketchup in the airy spaces between potato. Regular fries can’t do that. Chick-fil-A sandwiches don’t come with mayo by default, so you don’t have to worry about them soaking your bread with disgustingness accidentally. HT @couponkatie
