The Cylons are among us!

Today while running through the news that Google see's fit to show me, I came across an article in the Washington Post. The thought of this makes me wonder if Ronald D. Moore knew something when he wrote the final episodes of the Re-Imagined Battlestar Galatica. The Sci-Fi concept is simple, aliens with similar, but not exact, DNA settle on earth and disperse themselves into the native population. While this is hardly conclusive evidence that Admiral Adama existed or that an angel named Kara Thrace helped him reach this planet, it does give one pause.

The mythos of originally created by Glen A. Larson and re-imagined by Ronald D. Moore is a fascinating concept and it is articles such as appeared in the Post that make you hope for even a small part of it to be real.  Food for thought at any rate.

Why bother

This article from PC World claims that not one but two Meego phones will be coming out this year. Really? This is too little too late. In a world where iPhone is King, Android is Queen and Windows (what ever they are calling it this month) is a court Jester, there is no room for a OS that nobody cares about. The once dominant Blackberry can't bring their resources together to save the company fast enough. I say, "Go away, come back when you something to get excited about. (and a $15 million patent portfolio).

And so begins the end

This will most likely be the last time I visit this institution.  I'm sorry to say that that I am not impressed with the education here. Or any school in North America for that matter. I am personally of the opinion that by the time they leave this school they the students should have a grasp of calculus. Instead they spend way to much time socializing. 

I think phone companies are run by marketing

Phone companies should fire their marking department and and just use a simple  pay for what you use plan instead of wasting time with promotions. I personally believe that a straight forward approach would be so radically different from the competition that people would flock to their service.  I know I would.

A sort of Graduation

Today Brendan's class is having a graduation ceremony. This will be the end of Grade 8. Next year High School.  Hopefully he'll be a better teen then I ever was. Personally I dread long drawn out ceremonies.
