Stonehenge has always been my favorite thing on this planet. There have been books and videos offering various explanations of the origins and purpose of Stonehenge. National Geographic created a wonderful research site with interactive maps and other information. However, the true purpose and origin of Stonehenge has already been fully explained by Nigel Tufnel of [...]

According to the Google blog there is a possibility that some test communities might get Gigabit fiber (!) installed on a test basis. I find this interesting for several reasons, and think Google may be in a position to get a respectable bit of market share on this initiative. On a nationwide basis there we’re seeing a slow implementation of fiber to most communities, and what’s available isn’t all that fast compared with European [...] In the past few years I’ve installed a fair amount of cable in our house. The current total is something like this: Cat 5E : Over 1100 feet and counting. This is both for the internal data network (gigabit throughout the house) and the voice lines. Early in this project I completely removed all pre-existing phone lines from the house [...] Yesterday two of my co-workers were looking at picture on the internet of a jet (apparently) breaking the sound barrier. It’s an amazing picture and one worth admiring. My contribution to the conversation was “oh, that’s a great example of a Prandtl-Glauert singularity”. Both of my co-workers did a slow head turn in my direction and gave [...] The final step in porting my cell number away from my previous cellular carrier was to get a final bill and close my account. Apparently they decided to do this in reverse order. So I received an email from them (which is how they have always notified me) indicating my current bill is now ready for [...] Today I completed the process of porting my cell number to Number Garage. Throughout this effort I’ve been receiving excellent communication from Number Garage, and they succeeded in making the transition very smooth for me. My previous cellular carrier was a little slow in releasing my number, and I spent a long time on hold with [...] This evening I completed the update for WordPress, moving to the newly released 2.8 version. It was a slow and tedious process, but at this point I believe it’s all working correctly. For some reason my FTP client was only able to get a 2 kb connection to the server, and I had to manually restart [...] Earlier this week I cataloged a few concerns I have with Comcast. Like most bloggers, I hope my postings initiate a dialog rather than standing as a statement. I do appreciate comments from readers, both on my blog (www.johnhendow.com), via direct email, and via FaceBook (where my blog is automatically cross-posted). I was surprised to attract [...] In a previous post I pointed out some shortcomings I associate with Comcast and had a large number of people reply here, on Facebook or directly to me. As a follow up to that discussion I want to point out that only 2 days after I posted my article, I received a comment from George Lunski, [...] I’ll preface this posting by saying that I’m a geek and love technology. While this is a bit of a rant, it comes from a heart that ticks with excitement over the possibilities of the interconnected world. And so I’m occasionally disappointed when opportunity for advancement is being ignored. I am among the massive consumer base [...] |
