A Cool (and Free!) Way to Scan for Malware
Here’s a really cool way to scan your system for malware using 57 (!!) anti-malware definitions. This is a great way to find something on a PC that is “down”. (Note: It will only scan processes that are currently running, but that’s enough to cover most threats). First, I’ll step you through the process, and […]
I am a Code Maker.
I’ve decided to re-brand what I do – and what I am – as “codemaker”. The term programmer conjures up images of a nerdy kid “hunching” over a keyboard attached to a desktop computer in his mama’s basement. Software developer sounds like more of the same, but with a product for sale at the end. […]
Transitioning Into Tomorrow
Hello reader, Over the more recent years it seems like the closer we look at what is reported the uglier the details become. Government signing away rights, companies disregarding safety, and activists bending stories towards or away from clear and honest…

What’s Up With Microsoft?
This is a rant, and at least partially inspired by a discussion I had a couple weeks ago. Nearly every day I read some sort of new article about the failure of Windows 8, or how the replacement product, currently called “Blue”, is in the works. Why? Are they just trying to repeat the reboot […]
Google Glass. Super Cool.
Remember the Terminator movies – how “Arnold” (the Terminator) would look at stuff and get all kinds of dials and gauges and instructions that appeared in his field of vision? But they didn’t block his vision in any way? Wasn’t that cool? Google is announcing “Google Glass”, and implementation of this kind of technology, will […]
Damn That Global Warming
We got a bunch of snow this winter, unlike the past few years. Of course, what we had was nothing compared to what they got on the Eastern Seaboard. So, I had to kinda wonder about this… A famous climate scientist predicted that the Arctic would be ice-free in five years. Unfortunately for him, that […]
Marissa Mayer: Saving Yahoo?
Is Marissa Mayer Yahoo’s savior? Back in the day, I was a Yahoo freak. This was back when AOL was spamming our mailboxes with their crappy little disks (I must have collected about 50 of them), and there was no such think as a “homepage” if you weren’t part of AOL’s little “network”. That is, […]
