    I sent a video out to a few people back around Thanksgiving of ’09 showing grumpy line workers on a raw November weekend hanging what I assumed was new fiber on the poles for internets. They also constructed a new equipment pad up the street for what I assumed was… equipment, in the service of […]

    I’m going to try to avoid politics as much as possible in this space because I don’t follow things closely enough to be more than loosely informed, but I’ve got to address a few things really quick.  I know, you’ve been waiting to hear where I come down on Bristol Palin.  If you want to […]

  • poll central

    Beamychron Live is quickly becoming the place to put your finger on the pulse of America. Amy wanted to do another poll and I was happy to bring it all together. Unfortunately I was unable to find a super (gay for me) erotic photo of Bill early in the search result. As much as I’d […]

  • spam

    We’ve gotten a fair amount of spam commentary on this thing so far, that we’ve held back. I’d say the majority of what we get is spam in looking at the list of commentators. Most of it’s clearly garbage. False links to viagra websites, just like you get in email. Except they just come right […]

  • phone cam

    Dinner break ya’ll! This is footage from an upcoming cell phone camera. It’ll be apparent who makes it, but I’m not pimping it specifically. I show it because I’m struck by this turn of events in light of conversations I’ve overheard in the past. I mean, I guess it was sort of inevitable but I […]

  • virtual airspace

    Here’s an interesting video I saw over at Gizmodo that shows us air traffic response in Europe to the volcanic dust cloud. Someone made the comment over there that I had been thinking to myself, which is – nary a news report aired without the reminder that the airline industry was loosing $2b per day […]

  • sixteen variables

    Ooooh, I also wanted to share this. My brother sent this to me and unlike most fixed gear bike tricks, I’m awe struck. Although I’d be impressed if he were on any bike and not just because it’s a dirty hipster fixie. Alex is pretty well, err, fixated on the fixed gear scene these days, […]

  • movin on up

    I’ve signed us on with a new web host for a little more breathing room.  It’s a two year contract.  They were comfortable making the deal, after seeing me work the farm league for a few years now and thought I was ready for the Show. We’ve been with our current host for a while […]
