I am a little late in introducing my latest project as I have been working on it for well over a year. However, after all of this time, I’ve never written a blog post about it. Orbiter 8 is a Web 3 game dapp (decentralized application) designed to run on the Ethereum blockchain (a decentralized… Read more »

My First Raspberry Pi Robot
I’ve been doing a lot of things lately, and blogging is clearly not one of them. Most recently, I put together a Raspberry Pi robot. I used the Redbot kit from Sparkfun as well as their RaspiRobot controller board. I also found a cute quala head portable speaker to attach later. My mother asked for… Read more »
The Mess Of Social Media
Did you know kids don’t use email? They say they prefer social media and txt messages. The other day I opened up Pidgin for the first time in a while and realized that I haven’t added any “new” contacts in years. I barely write to my own blog and have failed to visit my RSS… Read more »
Stephenf, iPad, and some rationality…
So I see this trending topic going around called, “I need to talk to you about computers.” It didn’t take me long to facepalm.

About the time I would finally settle on something I thought fit, I… Read more »
Running vs Driving
Alright, I’m an advocate of not driving more than need be. I’m kind of lazy, so I’m not always a good advocate. However, you’ve got to use your body to keep it working. That’s the neat thing about a self-maintaining machine. Anyway, that said, let me get to my quick point. I’ve seen a number… Read more »
The Next Big Thing In Mobile
It’s an old idea that has yet to see the light of day. I’ve heard more than one person talk about it news websites like www.themebounce.com, and I’ve fantasized about how to implement it myself a few times. I’m finally confident that it’s inevitable. Look at the current generation of mobile devices. While these devices… Read more »
Portable Video Wikipedia
How handy would this be? – A rich media based version of Wikipedia where all the content was video based. No, I don’t mean a flash website. I mean a huge organized archive of video clips that present useful information. Now how cool would it be if you could sync your iPod style device to… Read more »
Open Source Social Networking
Social Networking is easy. Any user can jump online and join one of hundreds of social networking sites. The “friends list” concept is popping up all over the place. You can find social networks for posting pictures, videos, and even finding dates. Perhaps it’s the ease of use that enables them to be so popular…. Read more »
