Computers and Technology

I am amazed by the pictures and videos we can all enjoy from the edge of Earth and the beginning of Space. How I would have loved to take a ride on the International Space Station and see the world as they see it.

This is a different kind of slow motion, it's ultra slow motion. That means it's even slower than what we have ever imagined before. Through this amazing technology you can really see a lot of things that are simply too quick for the eye to catch.

One customer in Spain got quite a surprise with his most recent withdrawal. In addition to his requested cash, he got a bonus prize! There was a snake coming out of the cash slot in the ATM.

What if the spammers had to get your attention the old fashioned way? I bet nobody would fall for their tricks.

I know this video is actually a commercial but unlike the "special man" commercial I put on the website a few minutes ago this commercial did more than just sell me something. It sold me an idea that I believe a lot of us in America forget from time to time. Knowledge is power and access to knowledge is a very powerful thing. Many of us hold in our hands more computer technology than the

Steve Jobs has died. There are a lot of people whose lives were touched by his innovative thinking and the products that thinking produced. Some people will use the term genius when talking about him. I don't think he would use that word, I think he understood that we all have our own unique genius but only a few of us dare to find it.

Apple’s co-founder and former CEO, Steve Jobs, who’s been battling a rare form of pancreatic cancer for years and had a liver transplant in 2009, has passed away at the age of 56.

The purpose of advertising is to remind you that your life will be infinitely better when you choose to purchase the advertisers product. In many cases advertisers do a great job of  accurately portraying their products and how they will affect your life. Then comes the quiet moment after the commercial when you really sit back and think, "What was that commercial really about?" Read Mor

This is an adorable kitten. So sweet, so soft, so cute and about to come face to face with technology. What happens when the cute kitten and the computer printer go toe to toe?

It's all about perspective. Things will always look a little different if you change the location that your looking from. Here on Planet Earth, especially in the news our planet seems like a fragile balloon about to burst with war, political upheaval and other strife. From the different perspective of the International Space Station our world looks very calm and delicate, especially in this time l

This story has a familiar ring to it. Remember when the prototype for the iPhone 4 turned up in a California bar a few years ago? Remember all the hoopla the people at Apple made about getting it back? Well it looks like one of their fine employees has done the same thing for the iPhone 5.

I love using my debit/credit card as much as the next person. It's just convenient! Who want's to carry around a wad of cash when all you have to do is swipe your card! This might make you rethink how "loose" you are with your card! 1. Rental/ Security Deposits You mean when we rent a car? Yes, When we use a Debit Card the company actually takes that money out until we return the vehicle

I know I shouldn't be piling on poor little Justin Bieber but I wonder how many of todays "pop" stars use this little trick in the studio. It's called autotune and it can make anybody, even me, sound like we sing well. Want some proof? Meet Mishka the Husky and just listen to her sing with the aid of autotune...

I got to work Monday morning and there were 294 emails in my inbox. I know I'm not THAT popular so something was up. In this particular case, my dear friend Ed Roy had started a "group" on Facebook called Acadiana Broadcast Legends. Now, when you start a group on Facebook, you apparently get to choose who is in the group. I was very honored to have been among the "charter members.&q

The following is a true tale written by our good friend and occaisional accomplice Tracy Wirtz, this girl loves her technology! I LOVE TELEVISION! I'm not just talking about my job in tv, I mean tv shows. And I like LOTS of them. Smart, well-written, dry humor shows are my favorite. I'm not a huge fan of the sitcom. Cop shows REALLY get my juice flowing. And even during the "dry" summer

This discussion of cellphones and how to keep them looking clean and new came about as a result of little accident we had in the control room the other morning.  Krista was removing her fingernails, yes the fake ones, and she discovered that acetone will eat right through a Styrofoam cup. The resulting haz-mat spill did some serious damage to Krista's iPhone case. That lead to talk of how do you k

I get a kick out of the videos from the early to mid 90s and people are talking about the internet. Think back to that time and how mind-blowing the internet was! Remember dial-up? Remember Netscape? Remember the good ole days of it taking 5 minutes to load a webpage? Good times eh?!?

According to this article,the AT&T and T-Mobile merger is on track and they will seal the deal early in 2012. If the deal goes through, Verizon will lose its top slot. Meanwhile, AT&T says the deal will be a benefit to customers calling it "the surest and fastest way to address the unique network constraints and spectrum shortages." Let's...

I used to love to watch Robot Wars on TV. It was a show where science geeks would pit their homemade robots against each other in a battle to the death. I have always been intrigued by robots and what they could do for mankind. Actually what they could do for me to make my life easier.

With age comes wisdom at least that is what we are told in our younger years. I have certainly been doing fine with the age part but so far wisdom is taking its own sweet time at making itself known to me. However as I contemplate life, I dare to reflect on my thoughts in this public forum ...
