Read me or not, I'm here.
OpineAway I saw it last night. I kinda like Adam Sandler and think he’s a pretty funny guy (disclaimer…). But he can take humor to a very low level… The movie, although very funny at times, is vulgar to an un-tasteful level, and gives you a “how stupid can it get” feeling. In a way It’s … Read more
We have PSE&G here, I also have experience with ConEdison (NYC). Same. The system is lousy. The service is lousy. Prices are high. In our area, all power lines are up on the poles, nothing is in the ground. Every time there’s a storm or strong wind trees and branches are falling. Every time they … Read more
OK, this time there was no storm that stopped me from seeing it… This is a real fun movie. Robert Downey Jr. is an excellent cast to it, and Jeff Bridges looks pretty damn cool with the bold head and beard (better than he ever did in my opinion) – a great legacy to the … Read more
For a long time I was pretty sure that everyone read these books. Didn’t you? Don’t Panic! This is what’s written on the cover of the “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. Not the book you’ll read, but the “real guide”. HHGTTG (As the geeky fans call it…) is first of a five books … Read more

The book spans a long time period, and have many intriguing technology ideas, many based on existing technologies. Te books starts at 1925, and goes a … Read more
I wish I could write it. I went to the movie theater and a storm started. I got tickets, and then because of the storm there were black and brown outs, and all movies were stopped and they closed the movie theatre. On my way home, everything looked like a war zone. Trees down, branches … Read more
A lot has been written about Ringworld – it is like a cult book, with people analyzing it from all aspects, looking for scientific contradictions, plot inconsistencies…. I just like the book very much. It’s an adventure, with twists and turns, cool character and amazing ideas of technology, devices, tools, Aliens and their behavior and … Read more
The Arab countries still have us by the balls. One word from Iran about sanctions and prices jump up even more. I don’t want to get into a discussion about Iran because I’m trying to stay calm. There are many who’ll argue about the price of fuel (blown up for no real reason, high tax … Read more
