Current Events: Time Dilation
Boo to mail.google.com. Boo to mail.microsoft.com. Boo to Microsoft Exchange. mail.google.com has a vicious lag in loading my inbox. mail.microsoft.com is sending me spam messages from my own email address. Both are umbrellas-sites, bordering on the criminal in utility. Does the… Read more…
Current Events: Blue Sky
What are all you’s guys using for internet transfer? IPX, ISDN, TCP/IP, FiOS, Dish, SMS, 3G, 4G, et cetera? I’m wondering if I can get better network content by switching transfer protocols. A lot of my content appears to be… Read more…

Not Too Friendly, but Technically Correct Speech

I Miss Canned Beans
Pills, pills, the magical fruit, the more you pills, pills PILLS PILLS!
Electro M&M Flux
Thinking of physics while choking down the government dole. Green runs, Yellow chases, Blue hovers. Repulsion, Attraction, and Charge around an Atom.
