So what are all these mixed up checker board looking things you're seeing everywhere? They are called QR codes, and they make your smart phone a whole lot smarter. Imagen you are walking through the mall and you see a poster of that new movie everyone is talking about. You want to discover more about it, but you're never going to remember the web address.

of the social network sites that have near instantly seen infamous status
and attention from almost everyone in the world. If you have been near a
radio, TV, or computer you have most likely heard or read about twitter,
and while we all celebrate this deviously simplistic site it's only a

Since the time of Napster the internet has been linked to music with little success from the powers that be to separate them. As if almost in spite of the efforts to keep a tight hold onto the rights to distribute the music places like Amazon, Napster, Real player, and iTunes have legitimized the internet as a system to John D Geekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17773883553805246518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12400526.post-38421469727096485542008-01-21T15:07:00.000-08:002008-01-21T17:48:38.187-08:00New "eCycling" program makes it easier to dispose of your old phones & e-wasteCan't sell it on e-bay?

It's a photograph of my grand parents, mother, and uncles in the traditional dutch costume. The picture was taken just before they moved to the USA from Holland. At the time the photographer only offered the prints in black and white. The picture endured several decades until one day my grand father John D Geekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17773883553805246518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12400526.post-1146794909404195352006-05-04T19:08:00.000-07:002006-10-24T21:38:26.676-07:00Icon SushiIt isn't often that I come across a program that I think deserves to be mentioned. So often they miss the mark. Some programs will be intuitive and easy to use but lack the power or ability to do anything effective. Other times the application is powerful and give the user limitless potential but requires classes or several books to just learn how to use. This little application is one such John D Geekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17773883553805246518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12400526.post-1123314576556609212005-08-06T00:49:00.000-07:002006-10-24T21:38:25.511-07:00The Underbelly of Junk MailI just finished watching a report about porn junk mail on NBC's Dateline tonight and saw something that reminded me of some other business actions not allowed in the US. The story went along the line that people, family people, where receiving pornographic e-mail without asking for it.

Many other tech savvy sites equate this ruling to gun makers being responsible for gun related murders and armed robbery. I do see the similarities but I think gun violence is a far more serious crime then copyright piracy.

He talked about disagreeing that "e911" should be mandatory by companies offering VoIP service. His argument is that it would be near impossible to pin point where an e911 call is originating and that the cost of getting this created would slow or even stop some businesses from continuing.
