This article started out kind of exciting. It explained how Ubuntu was about to show, on a large commercial scale the unveiling of convergence of multiple devices. For those who don’t know what convergence is, it’s the ability for multiple devices to converge into one user experience – without the need for multiple processors and hard drives. For a company…

Proof of God’s Presence: Transformation
Perhaps one of the things that has grieved me the most over the years is a reality I have seen in the Body of Christ – something of which both myself and my wife were guilty as charged. This something seems to be everywhere now that I ask around and now that I’m actively looking. The reason it is so…
How to Flash from Cyanogen Mod to Ubuntu on Nexus 4
Normally in the past, it was very easy for me to flash from android to Ubuntu for phone. I just used the usual ubuntu tutorial and it worked. Then, somewhere in the middle I switched to Cyanogen mod (android) as the ‘lesser of two evils’ while I was waiting for bluetooth to improve. I heard today that everything is working…
Eye Spy with Alphabet Google’s Little Eye Something that is Creepy
Some people think google and their new secret daddy ‘Alphabet‘ are ok. Perhaps this article will convince you otherwise? In the past, google would very slowly ‘creep’ you from behind. They’d take a little ‘peek’ over your shoulder at your personal information and then kind of ‘accidentally’ share that information with advertisers. No biggy. People get their ‘free’ services and…

Question the Magic (QTM): Google Tone
If you haven’t been following the ‘question the magic’ series that I’ve recently started, welcome! You can see our inaugural post here about a really ‘fun’ watch sponsored by our friends over at the wonderful world of Disney. Today a new ‘magic’ technology was presented to me, being researched by the small and non-invasive company called Google. I’m sure Google…
Question the Magic (QTM): Em-Sense Watch
Question the magic. It just came to me. It’s a new way of thinking that needs to start happening and it needs to start happening *yesterday*. After the invention of the television, humanity started shutting off our brains. It was ‘magic’ how that visual image came through thin air into their homes. It was ‘magic’ how the cell phones connect…
Facebook, Apple and Big Brother Peep in your Bedroom at Night
“Facebook, Apple and Big Brother Peep in your Bedroom at Night” Does that title sound creepy? Good. It should. And now, it’s real. I mean literally real. Not a movie, but real. The kind of real like when you have a severe gas pain that renders you immobile. That kind of real. The ever-spying, ever-invasive Facebook with their nasty little…
Where Have All the Heroes Gone?
A friend forwarded me this most interesting article on the clearly increasing participation in street protests in the UK and around the world. Old ‘Anonymous’ is rising up and increasing it would appear. It reminded me of ‘occupy Vancouver’ way back in 2011. And it reminded me of other things from my youth that I joined in to protest. Most…
Google: The Supreme Alphabet Agency
You may have not read my original post about Google’s somewhat silent and out-of-the-blue creation of their new ‘supreme corporation’ ‘Alphabet, but if not, do catch up by reading it here. I knew there was ‘something’ about their name. Something strategic. Something creepy. Something tongue and cheek. But it wasn’t until I had a 6am coffee with Joe Adam on…
