The Sixth Sense

The stuff of science fiction is now. I am constantly humbled by the knowledge of others and how little I know.

Pranav Mistry is the inventor of SixthSense, a wearable device that enables new interactions between the real world and the world of data.

The Jetsons

This was going to be a post showing the Jetsons big screen TV and comparing them to the flat screens of today, but I couldn't find something suitable. Well, one thing led to another and here goes the intro to an old favorite. I bet you are singing along, aren't you?

And I Love Her

Bad Internet Neigbors

next to you
besides you
invisible
to the eye

what they do
what they say
looking peeking
nosy ones

creepy
bad intentions
hurtful spiteful
someone you know
maybe you don't

why do they do it
only they know
makes one shudder
can cause pain
concern for love ones

Internet can be
fun learning
adventure
social gathering
but a dark side
but like batman's
twoface
what side
is showing

firewalls up
brace for attack
that one hopes
never comes

Death of a Lawnmower

never loved
the small metal beast
price was the object
when purchased

gas guzzling
noisy one
pushing and pulling
difficult task
when grass is high

inadequate in size
for the task in hand
in the hot Florida son

gasping today
when starting the journey
sputtering and coughing
blade damaged and dull
engine sighing
enough it said

with a gleam
in my eye
I shut it down
dragging it behind
scrapheap time

rain started to fall
a fitting way
to end the day
something shiny
and new
to the rescue

a call went out
replace it we must
scour the stores
currycomb the countrysides

what will it be
what will it be

sigh

Music Break

Music break time. I was going through some songs I hadn't played for awhile.
A different kind of video. Former members of Guess Who playing Blue Collar

Great highway driving music or listening with the headphones on!
