Major Software Innovation: Same Tasks In All Programs Will Be Done With Same Clicks

Writing software, once a form of individual proclivity, is about to be, at least in its most common functions, daringly standardized.
The innovative initiative has been dubbed “A Uniform Standard For Dumb Simple Tasks.”
While the group that has put forward the radical suggestion has no way of enforcing it, widespread adoption is expected, because there is […]

Package Baggage

It always fries my brains when I have nothing more creative to do with my time than visit a computer store. It is a bit like sending a Brit soldier to the gulf without any body armour. I am always caught between the friendly fire of spotty computer experts who start rubbing themselves up against […]

Glastonbury Festival History: Losing the Main Stage

Now then, the wonders of quagmires are a treat I have never encountered. I had the uncanny ability, as a youth, to attend Europe’s premier music festival twice, and both times I stumbled upon a West Country heat wave.
Yes, it’s true; yours truly enjoyed the warmth of the sun and the cider tent […]

Granny’s Almost Garden

I almost had a garden this year. Then the earwigs took over my lettuce. The grasshoppers confiscated all my zucchini and various other flying insects shared the sunflowers. The gophers leveled one row in an afternoon. They enjoyed a healthy salad. I did get one meal of peas and one […]

Walls ‘R Us

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking at Rutgers University in front of around 150 high school students, which was a lot better than speaking behind them. The subject was humor columns, so it goes without saying that walruses came up multiple times. I mean, so many times that I completely lost track. […]

Advantages to appearing naked in other people’s dreams seem infinitely numerous, but I’ll limit the […]

Napping: An Olympic Sport

Everyone is into physical fitness these days. Why? Are they planning on going to the Olympics? If not, why bother getting physical at all? Any time I see a person running, they look like they are in pain. Maybe, in the case of men, their jock strap is too tight or in the case of […]
