CNN Radio Called Me to Comment from Berlin

I just got a call from CNN Radio to comment on Microsoft’s withdrawal of the offer for Yahoo! I love being on the Radio. I am lucky enough to be on CNN’s list as a technologist and total geek so CNN Radio sometimes calls me if they need a geek with a good voice. […]

Le Show with Harry Shearer Blows My Mind

Every Monday at 10CET, NPR Worldwide plays Le Show with Harry Shearer (yeah, you know the guy). At first, I started grinding my teeth since one can tell he’s simply reading the paper to us, his audience, rife with “snarky” comments and cheap shots. I guess he’s supposed to be funny and Le Show is […]

An Ode to the Ricochet Network and Modem

(This is a reenactment of what my experience was like)
I just discovered that Ricochet ist tot, according to Boing Boing Gadgets, WiFi News, and TechDirt. Wow, I had both the original Ricochet (the brick) and then the later “Crickochet” (because it was much smaller — shown above) and ran it on my Compaq Aero […]

XM and Sirius Have Passed Muster!

I loved my XM radio when I lived in the US. I listened to America Right and Talk Radio and fell in love with Coast to Coast AM via XM because I would never lower myself to listen to AM.  So, a couple years ago I tried dating a Sirius-listener and it didn’t work out.  […]

“Ramiro Miqueli and Ramiro Miqueli’s brothers enjoyed a privileged, happy life until Cuba went through a Communist revolution that brought misery and chaos to the island in 1959. While Cuba had problems prior to 1959, the Ramiro Miquelis enjoyed democratic rights such as elections, liberty, equality, decency, justice, private property and freedom of the […]

David Sedaris Transcends the Hype

Last night, I took my dear mum to the Lisner Auditorium at my Alma Mater, GWU, to spend a night with David Sedaris. I bought us the super-fancy WAMU public radio tickets and we sat ten meters away from his lectern and kept us laughing for almost 2-hours. Brilliant. If you are on his list […]

Zardoz is the Most Interesting Movie You’ve Never Heard Of

Before I start, check out Sean Connery’s costume (left). Zardoz is the most important movie nobody (I know) has seen. Forget that there is a lot of nakedness and topless women; or, that you get to see a super-buff, 1974-era, Sean Connery running around for more than two hours in a pair of underwear; this […]
