Tablet Maintenance

Well, my M1300 Motion Computing Tablet PC is just about a year old now. It has started to get some cracks in the plastic side rails and is missing the little rubber feet on the bottom that keep it from sliding around when laid flat. So, while it’s under warranty I’m sending it in to get fixed up. The side rails cracking is a regular issue with the M1300, which they say is fixed with the M1400.

George Lucas Raped My Youth!

“George Lucas raped my youth!" - An impromptu line from an actor during a stage play of The Compleate Works of Shakespeare (abridged). It was such a great line that just came out as members of the cast improvised a scene where one of them complained about the acting in Episode II: Attack of the Clones and they other said Lucas ruined everything by not having a puppet of Yoda. I was there with a couple of friends from work and, being geeks, we laughed quite hard at it.

Modern Noah's Arc

Well, if it’s not straight out of SciFi I don’t know what is. The head Moon Dude in the European Space Agency has stated he believes there should be a DNA collection held on the moon for safe keeping in case something catastrophic occurs on Earth. Interesting idea….maybe one day we can build a ship that will take our DNA to other planets and terraform them for our purposes….oh, wait….that’s a Stargate SG1 Episode.
