You know, sometimes you read an article and when you read it you are sure it’s wisdom screaming out at you. You know there is truth there. You know you should listen. This article is just such an article but before reading it, let me state a few things: she should also ditch google and all the other invasive companies…

Everything You Need to Know about Ubuntu Phone
My friend sent me this link to a great page that summarizes most of the key things you need to know about the Ubuntu Phone. As mentioned in my previous article, we are quickly moving to convergence and in order to make sure we get there safely, ubuntu is the *only* option. The great news for all of you who…
The Race to Convergence: Or is it a Marathon?
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…

HUNDRED BUCKS, will also, for that small fee, spy on your children (and you as a bonus) and report its findings to an unidentified source for not-fully-disclosed purposes.

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…
