Many of the people searching through the haystacks were young, enlisted guys, 18 to 22 years old. They’ve suddenly been thrust into a position of extraordinary responsibility, where they now have access to all your private records. In the course of their daily work, they stumble across something that is completely unrelated in any sort…

This guitar sample app sounds amazing. This one too! This music is so soulful! It makes me want to grab my violin and find some resonant place to play. One more! So enchantingly beautiful!

I am so pissed with Google/Android and WordPress both because of the fact that its not possible to filter their lists of apps (plugins for WP). How hard would it be to add filters when searching for apps, one of which would be the ability to filter for things which are genuinely free, not some…

Every election, from the local levels up to the federal levels, is a disgusting farce. There is absolutely no question that Edward Snowden is the most fit person…

Some guy, 8 years ago, makes a $400 donation to some ballot proposition campaign and when he gets appointed as a CEO of some organization everyone shits their pants. But now the company Lyft which wants to introduce service in New York City gets blocked from doing so. And no one gives crap. 23andme, a…

7,000 years ago is in the time called the “Mesolithic” which simply translates into “Middle-stone” age. During this time humans had advanced a lot and were getting more into growing crops and making things.
