Creative Commons Surprise

Back in the early 90’s I wrote a few programs and released them to the nascent Internet via services like CompuServe and Usenet. I was not looking to make money for them. I “copyrighted” them and made them available for free.… Read the rest

Walgreens Unsubscribe Fail

I’m usually fastidious giving my email address to anyone. If I need to give my email address to someone, I will give them an email address that is unique to them. That way if it gets out in the wild I can track it back to the source or block it.… Read the rest

Dawn of Justice

Having just returned form seeing the new movie “Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice“, I’m trying to gather my thoughts. I think it’s safe to say that the movie is good but a little boring. Ben Afflect’s Dark Night is probably the high point of the movie.… Read the rest

Seattle’s Waterfront

After taking the tour of Chihuly’s, I had some extra time before my flight. I took the monorail from the Space Needle and then walked down to Pikes Place Market and then the Waterfront, taking pictures along the way. A few blocks south of Pike I was walking back up some stairs and came across some cherry trees in full bloom.… Read the rest

Lima

So it’s Sunday afternoon. I didn’t get any sleep on the plane. I walked around Miraflores and Parque Kennedy until my hotel was ready. I finally got in my room but my bag was still MIA. The front desk staff had sent it to the wrong room.… Read the rest
