RIP John Alvin

Posted by Gregg on February 15, 2008 in Life Experiences

I am a product of 80s and 90s film. I gravitated toward geekyness (computers, AI, and eventually the web) in large part due to Star Wars, ET, Blade Runner, etc. Stories that were other worldly and at the same time amazingly human. Not to mention all the non Sci-Fi films(Gremlins, Legend, Lostboys) that fed the [...]

How many lives do you have and where is the #$% phone.

Posted by Gregg on February 14, 2008 in Entertaining Me is Easy

So I was trying to put my 4 year old to bed when he asked to play ninja/alien/robot. A game where we shot invisible lasers at each other from all appendages and attacking each other with fake swords, all the while blocking with fake shields. Well after a while Noah unleashed a stunning invisible laser [...]

Posted by Gregg on February 2, 2008 in Entertaining Me is Easy

Some say this is one of the first signs of the end of the world, but what a great interface to do so. The only question I have is if my bar code changes if I lose those 20 pounds I have been meaning to drop.

Just hitting the RSS Feeds and found a link on Cameron Moll’s Authentic Boredom blog that states “ESPN.com: Mobile visits briefly outpaced PC visits“.  This is huge for web masters/designers as it is yet more proof that the days of PC based visitors dominating the visit list is waining.  The fold is no longer fixed [...]

Today.. Google Maps now allows you to correct the pointer when it is pointing to the wrong house. When you are in the maps view with an address being displayed in a bubble, there is now an option to ‘Edit’. Just drop and drag the arrow. Great for giving solid directions, bad if you are [...]

Name Three Videos that left a mark on your psyche.

Posted by Gregg on January 19, 2008 in Life Experiences

Some of you out there may not know this but MTV did not always reek of reality TV. Long ago, when they had a spaceman in neon colors, they actually had Music. That is what the M stands for, Music. Not ‘Morons who embarrass themselves for 15 5 Minutes of Fame’. So I wanted to [...]
