A core memory of mine was listening to the Doc. The show was on late Sunday night so I rarely got to hear the Five Five. One week, it was the Memorial Day weekend. My two closest friends and I were all able to hear the whole show. We met th

My kids had one of these. It's a clever design. And it's true, the old style was much more interesting. Theoretically, you could press a new record for the old-style. Which would be a cool project.

Being a latchkey kid hurt me academically. I just couldn't discipline myself to do home work. The lure of the TV or being with friends was too strong. So my grades slipped. I fell behind in math. Homework was stressful when my Mom got

Yes! "Danny Dunn, Invisible Boy". It incorporated virtual reality with tiny flying drones for 'invisibility'. It was published in 1974. I was inspired to make a handwriting copying machine based on the "Homework Mac

That's my experience. I have to trick my eyes to see it in 'divergent' mode. But all I have to do is cross my eyes and I can see the image. Although, I would see shapes sinking into the page not popping out.

Beej is a great guy. He was my instructor at this boot camp I attended. I learned a little C from him. I can’t really do much with it, but it was fun to learn.

Oh boy. Those extensions loading. So many times I held my breath when adding a new extension. If it doesn’t then you have to restart in Safe mode, or something. I won’t miss the extensions. OS 9 was cool. I used it a lot on my lime-green im

15 years ago I worked with a guy who was a Navy Veteran. He’d served in Korea. He still knew Morse Code. He confirmed what many are saying here that it’s all about the rhythm. Once we were asking him about his experience and when he had to

_Why’s work led me to where I am. At a crucial time in my life I found _Why. That put me on a path to learning Ruby and then a whole bunch of steps now I have an actual job as a web developer. I work in Python, but I’m sure _Why won’t mind.

My dad, an avid hunter/outdoorsman, has told me for years ticks drop from trees. He's also told stories of ticks on deer the size of golfballs. This is why I stay indoors! [shudder]

I learned how to do this in Boy Scouts years ago. I doubt I could do it now. Especially in a survival situation.

I haven't had to pay full price. But, last year I had to pay 20% of the cost. It gets out of control fast since I have to take Remicade every 4 weeks. I was on the hook for about $6000. My bill was cut down because I qualified for char

This was a mantra both my brothers used while going through Marine Corps bootcamp. You don't have to get to the end of the 50-mile-hike. Just take one more step. I always remember this when facing my own seemingly impossible tasks. Men
