Bug robot

I got this robot a while ago, somewhere in Chicago.  Its modeled after an insect as it has six legs and wings (but not a tri-part body, hummm). And its claim to fame is that it will identify obstacles with its antenna, back to the side and then go forward, eventually going past most obstacles. […]

Google Chrome OS VMware and Parallels 5 virtual machines

I wanted to check out Chrome OS from Google – I’m hoping it’ll be a good choice for a kitchen netbook (a small portable you can use to surf the web, read and print recipes, and sometimes carry to the family room to look up things you see on TV); I don’t have time to […]

We bought a house

We finally bought a house in SoCal – its not as close to Los Angeles as we wanted (its in Woodland Hills), but its big and its ours; 5 bedrooms and 4 baths big. We bought a painting as our housewarming gift to ourselves – its about 42″ tall and done in a classic Spanish […]
