Introducing Microsoft Surface

Ever seen that movie with Tom Cruise that is set in the future and he's a pre-crime law enforcement officer with a drug addiction brought on after the death of his son? You know, Minority Report?

Since that movie came out, I've been fascinated by the idea of pieces of glass that can transfer memory/video/photos, etc. Now it seems that Microsoft was also quite fascinated by this as well.

Welcome to the future! It's Microsoft Surface.

This smooth looking piece of art resembles the table style video games of the eighties. The only difference is that this is a computer screen that seems like it has a future generation of bluetooth inside. It is also touch screen and can manage multiple points at the same time.

Poor Apple...

Microsoft's webpage for surface is really cool and has a few videos and other things that look like some kind of sci-fi offering. If you like technology, you've GOT to check this out!

Non-Flying Air Car

I want an Air Car. Really bad. This cute little sucker only costs two bucks to fill up (think pumping up your tire) and can run over 150 miles! Imagine the possibilities!

This lightweight production car, I'm assuming, runs on principles similar to older steam engines but uses modern compression technologies.

It looks as though it won't be rated for the roads in the U.S. We drive too many monster vehicles to make this little guy safe for our roads. I see no reason why you couldn't use the same technology for four wheelers, motorcycles, or boats, though.

Imagine a world where wind is used to turn the turbines that help in compressing the air that we put in our cars. A greener world awaits and is right around the corner.

The Fall of Jericho

I made a mistake. I didn't let CBS know how much I came to like Jericho.

I think I may have liked it so much because I was able to watch all the episodes online. I would curl up with my laptop in my uber-soft and luxurious Land & Sky waterbed and fall asleep watching those poor Jericho people in their struggle. I viewed it as a reminder of what we as a civilization are capable of.

Now CBS has killed it. Axed it, if you will. This bothers me.

Just days before, I had been looking forward to finding out how the war plays out. I want to know how the government restructured itself. I want to see some hope!

So damn you CBS! You have left a dangling participle that no one can correct. You have started a book that no one can finish. You have infuriated me.

Oh well. At least Heroes will be back. YAY!

More Reasons To Love Firefox

Can I just say how much I love Firefox? This web browser has been my main browser for almost two years now and I love it. Okay, so not every website is optimized for Firefox and some plug-ins don't work like you would expect but I gotta tell you...

I have not had a virus problem on my computer since I started using Firefox. I don't get pop-ups or malicious content or anything like that! Once I upgraded to Firefox 2.0, I've learned it will even warn you if it suspects a phishing site (see photo above). Awesome!

Do yourself a favor and download Mozilla Firefox now for free. You can thank me later.
