Non-Fiction: The Four-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss Ferriss left me thinking a lot about hacking in 2011. Not just one’s body, but everything.

So the first of the WordPress themes is coming along nicely. I didn’t do a mock-up in Photoshop or anything like that, but I know roughly what I want it to look like.

So part of the reason I haven’t continued to commit heaps of electrons to my blathering on this blog is that I’m having an identity crisis about what it should be or become. I know that one big step in the development is going to be the visual layer. I’m working on that. Whole new [...]

Facts: global warming is a man-made situation. Situation: insurance companies are paying out the nose on claims where weather-related damage is concerned — more so in 2011 thus far, than in any other year.

I’ve had a few days to let it digest now, and I have some thoughts on Apple’s WWDC keynote address. I’ll cover the two main topics. First, iOS 5. This is some amazing stuff right here. And yeah, a bunch of it is cribbed from Android, but ultimately, it looks like Apple did a better [...]

Man, I love what Elon Musk is doing for spaceflight. If they were looking for an e-marketing manager over at SpaceX, I’d throw my hat in the ring faster than you could blink.
