I’m a hobbyist. I jump from hobby to hobby all the time. Photography, electronics (briefly), now I’m crazy into collecting and listening to records. But my latest hobby, has been making things. We had a garage in our house in San Antonio, and it was at that point when I was able to build a
Daredevil – The Man Without Fear
Thanks to Marvel Unlimited I’ve read about 11 years worth of Daredevil comics over the past few months. I had started reading Daredevil monthly in 2009 or so, but shortly after Daredevil premiered on Netflix, one of my friends suggested that I go back and read everything starting from Volume 2 (from 1998) which was
The Last Episode of The Daily Show
Last night was Jon Stewart’s last night of hosting The Daily Show, something he had done for the last 16 plus years. I watched The Daily show here and there when Craig Kilborn was the host, and sporadically when Stewart took over, but Ali and I became faithful viewers during the year before the 2008 election.
WWDC 2015 Wrap up and OS X 11 and iOS 9 Previews
WDDC came and went two months ago and I never did my follow up post because I was busy and lazy, but mostly lazy. Right off the bat, Apple TV was a no show, but there are rumors it may show up next month. So we don’t need to discuss these items but I do
Mac OS X 10.11 / iOS 9 Wishlist
Apple’s annual developer’s conference WWDC is right around the corner and it’s time to bring out my annual pre-WWDC predictions and my OS X 10.11 and iOS 9 wishlist. But before I get to that, I want to talk about one of my favorite devices in my house and its possible future. Apple TV It’s speculated every
Copyrights and Fair Use
A week doesn’t go by where I don’t see someone on /r/Photography on Reddit posting about how their photos are being used online or in print without being attributed properly, or even worse, being used without being paid. That prompted me to check out some of my most popular photos on Flickr by doing a reverse Google
Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Interacting With Your Computer
If you’ve ever watched a sci-fi show or movie you’ve probably seen a scene where a person has interacted verbally with a computer, and the computer spoke back to the person like a conversation between two people. This is artificial intelligence, or AI. The computer can even be a character, like J.A.R.V.I.S. in the Iron
The Changing Face of TV
Earlier this week the Golden Globes were on. Ali and I love watching the Emmys, Golden Globes, and Oscars since we are big TV and movie nuts. As we were watching Ali and I were of course live-tweeting because we are big dorks. One of my Twitter friends made an interesting comment, and I responded
Best of 2014
2014 is slowly coming to a close. It’s been a good year. Ali and I did some traveling, hung out with friends, spoiled our niece and nephews some more, saw family, and a few weddings. Our biggest news of course is that Ali and I built and moved into our dream home in New Braunfels,
2014 WWDC Wrapup
Last week Apple held their annual WWDC in California and it was a pretty big event (you can watch it here). If you were watching and you’re not a developer or have a little insight into the dev world it may not have seemed like an earth-shattering Keynote, but it was. I got a bunch
