Enter the Maelstrom of Mining

Oy, I can’t believe I re-subscribed to EVE Online, hehe, and to do mining of all things – LOL!  Honestly though, I went right into mining because that’s how I left all my rigs set-up and it’s familiar territory to get me back into the game. So I’m dual-boxing as well, here’s what I’ve got for a set-up so far: Main “Miner” is Orobas, Amarr/Ni-Kunni Retriever Mining Barge w/ 2 Strip-Miner II’s, Cap Battery I, and 2 Co-Processor I’s, and 5 HobGob’s This guy’s main training is in Industry with: Industry-5, … Continue reading

The Next Big Thing

I just finished watching a re-run of the Charlie Rose show where he was speaking with a reporter from the New Yorker, Ken Auletta, about the future of technology. It was kind of interesting, Ken definitely had a better grasp on the topic than Charlie did.  One comment in particular really caught me funny.  They had been discussing the prospect of Google entering into the wireless/cellular spectrum and charlie said something to the effect, “…since when has advertising worked on a cell-phone.”  Clearly missing the point – Google wouldn’t be … Continue reading

I’m terrible at Photoshop

Especially when I’m in a hurry.  So I said I’d do a mock up of my “Perfect Gadget.” Well, not only am I terrible at combining images, but I felt like I should subject you all to my “Frankenstein.”  I’m know there are some amazing Photoshop artists out there who could run with this idea and turn it into a thing of beauty – but alas I don’t know any of those folks, so here it is: Just imagine one of these facing out from underneath the screen area: And that’s it.  I … Continue reading

The perfect mouse…

A couple days ago I wrote about my perfect techie gadget, but I’ve also wondered why computer mice are so awful.  I hate them. Mainly because every single one is made of plastic. You see, I work on the computer all day long and then I game all night, so the mouse is always “in palm.”  And being non-breathable plastic it makes my palm sweat. Disgusting, I know, but there’s such a simple solution.  Rough up that plastic a bit so there are air spaces between the skin and the … Continue reading

The Perfect Gadget

So I’ve been thinking about this off and on for awhile.  Ever since I got my Treo a couple years ago, and started thinking of things that would make it better, like converging it with my PSP… I mean really, if Sony had any smarts, they would’ve had an iPhone two years before Apple – doh!  Anyways, a CES article over at CNN got me thinking about it again today, and here’s what I’d like to see. Basically a hand-held PC that has all of this functionality:  It would look like a console game controller with a … Continue reading
