The future of lighting

Yes, lighting, as in bulbs and lamps, and other things I seemingly can't avoid knocking over at night when they're not turned on. Thanks again to Ars Technica:

I'm sure many have seen that scenario play out - I know I have.

Two for the show

I discovered two blogs in the past few weeks that I now visit on a "week-daily" basis ;-) I have other things to do on the weekends that take precedence over sitting in front of a computer, even for such insights as I find from these two blogs:

The first is "Nicholas Bate - Business of Life + Life of Business" and I recommend you make visiting a part of your web routine.

The second is "Execupundit.com - Commentary by Michael Wade on Leadership, Ethics, Management, and Life" and I repeat the recommendation above.

I'm still here?

Existential question, perhaps. In truth it's just me noticing that this blog is still here. It's clearly been a long time since I last entered anything, and that speaks to my other interests taking precedence, and to be honest, my own laziness. Serves me right.

At any rate, now that I have stumbled back into my wee corner of the blogosphere I may be a bit more diligent and add some more frequent entries. In the meantime, drop by this site for a visit. It will be time well spent.
