Sorry, but I have been busy

What ends up happening is that I start a new project and get horribly busy and have no time to post. I ended up making a bunch of notes of good things to post, so I have a little backlog of things. Expect a bunch here over the next couple days. Read More...

I'm afraid of Nanotechnology

Posted Wednesday, August 25, 2004 2:42 PM by btrst4
Well, maybe not completely afraid- I'm not ready to write a manifesto or anything. The advances in technology are great and I am a big technology fan. I guess I am buying into movies and books too much. Have you read "Prey" by Michael Crighton? This is Read More...

William Hung is my hero...

Posted Tuesday, June 15, 2004 1:44 PM by btrst4
Scary that I even know who he is, because I do not watch American Idol. This guy ( http://www.williamhung.net ) has built a career on basically nothing. At the same time, I tell my kids all the time how important it is to do something with confidence Read More...

Does anyone know how to get a song out of your head?

Posted Thursday, June 10, 2004 3:32 PM by btrst4
