No you can't take nail clippers on a plane, but you can take knitting needles. I asked this person about it and she said they don't have an issue with it. These ones were plastic, but she said she had metal ones with her also. I looked it up on the TSA Permitted and Prohibited Items site and sure enough knitting needles are fine.

I suppose even servers can get a little nostalgic now and then.... This brand new IBM server wanted a floppy disk today.

I live in Oldham county Kentucky, and work in Jeffersonville, IN. One picture says it all...

New bridges have been in plan for 40 years. As a child I lived in a house that was in the path where I-265 hits 31W. They purchased our home to make way for the loop that would connect with two bridges around Louisville and southern Indiana. Still... no bridges... :(

Yes we are only half way through 2011, but I want to go on record early with a prediction for 2012! I predict that 2012 will be the year that we fully adopt...

Why you ask? Because it makes sense, and we are out of IPv4 addresses (duh!).

What qualifies me to make such a bold claim??? Well, I recently completed the first level of Hurricane Electric's IPv6 certification.

One more thing for 2012.... in a surprise move, we will also adopt the metric system!!!

Describing the Internet to the uninitiated can be challenging. Steve Bass suggests that you should just say that it is like cats morphing into crossants.

Another way (old but still relevant) is the "Warriors of the .Net" video (below).

I went to a motorcycle rally in Ohio this weekend. The guy I rode with on Saturday shot this video a few weeks ago. Asian carp are a big problem, but this video is hillarious.

Newly found penguin species can fly...

Listen to the whole thing a few times. Really cool...!

My wife got me one of these DIY Music Box Kits for Christmas. Of course I had to do the Super Mario Brothers theme like in the video below.

Someday I will purchase a Theremin and be the first on youtube to have a video of the SMB theme on the theremin. Until then, check out these creative renditions.
