National Day of Unplugging

Starting at sundown today (3/6/2015) through tomorrow at sundown is National Day of Unplugging.

This is a real thing...and it's a good thing!

I'm addicted, you say...

Sometimes people judge others without realizing they are guilty of the same behaviors. Addicted people don't see their own addictions and are quick to condemn others all the while being completely hypocritical.

Let's all stop and analyze our own behaviors before we call out others...better yet, let's let live and let live and not call out others.

Glass houses, people.

Internet Dependence

Oh I'm sure I can live without the internet.

I can quit at any time.

Just...one more check of my Twitter/Facebook/Google+/Ello/LinkedIn/Reddit/Feedly feed streams before I go to sleep and I'm good...

On second thought...

I fear the future is already here. It's not pretty.

Apologies for being away from my blog.  Been concentrating on the employment front, which has yet to resolve itself positively...and going through a mild depression is definitely not making things easier.  And yet, I thankfully had the forethought to save some very topical webcomics to share with y'all for just such an occasion.

I fear the future is already here.  It's not pretty.

True Love...Mobile Internet Style

At night no one comforts me like you do.  Dare I say...this is love...true love...sigh.

This is me on way too many nights that I care to recall.  Yeah, I know.  I'll be Forever alone.

Life Before Smartphones

You crazy kids with your crazy gadgets!

Smartphones Are Eating the World | MIT Technology Review

Came across this article on the MIT Technology Review website that speaks in detail about how mobile computing has become such as huge pare of the global economy.  The numbers are staggering!

Google/Nielsen Report on How Mobile Drives Conversion

Came across this great report written up by Google/Nielsen that very finely details what I have known for some time but could not eloquently express to either myself or others.

Google Glasses At Work...

Sadly this is exactly how it's gonna go down at the office when Google Glasses become mainstream.

Never Lose Your Keys...Or Cyber Stalking Made Easy?

Interesting little gadget...the Gizmodo article (below) details a new nano technology (well, maybe not nano...micro, perhaps?) that allows people to track objects via Bluetooth signals on their smartphones. (Currently Android and iOS only.)  These transmitters can be attached to anything, from car keys to wallets to expensive jackets/coats/etc. In short, anything you want to keep a track of short-range. Im'a gonna need about a dozen of these little gizmos for everything I don't want to be losing...including my mind!

This has a lot of potential for good...and for bad!

I think we're already there...
