Today the web is what rock and roll was to previous generations. It is no longer the tool of the geek, nerd and software engineers (if any distinction exists). The web is open to all who have a creative moment, since it lives in the moment for the moment like table dancing in a dive bar at 3am on a Thursday night. In this moment we discover our inner curiosity and build our wish lists on Amazon and iTunes; our profiles on myspace, 360 and facebook; upload our photos on picasa web or flicker; stream our personal videos on youtube and google video. This is how we – the iTunes Generation – are expressing ourselves. Some people do this a little more then others as in the past with head-bangers, greasers, punks we have labeled these bloggers, hackers and back to the word geek . However, years ago it was the rock star, the guys with big hair, loud voices that entertained us by biting off bat heads, smashing guitars, dancing on stage in spandex. These were our heroes, our role models and in some small way they made us all warm and fuzzy inside. The 21st centaury has main streamed entertainment making it possible for anyone to be a rock star, to have their 15 minutes of fame and all they need is a little modern day canvas – the internet – to express themselves and show the world what thy are made of. In myspace they post pictures, link to friends, show favorite music videos just for the fun of it. What use to be the fame of the super cool has been distributed to anyone with a web blog, webcam and a little pride. With iTunes you don’t have to wait to goto the store buy the latest song or movie. Plus you can speak your own mind, create your own PodCast and express your own opion, submit it with the thousands of free PodCasts available daily at iTunes.

I would like to say good bye to the Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll generation and hello to the Sex Drugs and iTunes generation. Because whether it’s real or cyber you can’t substitute the sex or the addiction of any drug but entertainment has gone from old school rock into digital puberty.

The bad words of Computer Security Part 1- Passwords

November 21, 2006 By - 2 Comments

So there is this thing out there that computers are the Root of all evil. Now that is actually a very geeky joke that no one should ever get, but there are some out there I can hear laughing as you pet your Playstation 3. So what is Computer Security? What does it have to do with the average user? A LOT!!!!

Today everything is on our computer. Well almost everything, we still can’t get pizza from the computer. We could order it online but what’s the fun of that. Since we work, bank, communicate and play on our computer there is a lot of information and information is as valuables as gold. This first section is concentrating on PASSWORDS. You know that little word you need to gain entrance into a private little space usually in Cyberia. Now this little guy can be used against you, can be your worst nightmare.

Electrifing the american legal system

Alternating Current and Direct Current are the way we transfer electricity. For your house and the electric company, which you desperately try to pay so you can come in from that long day, plop in front of the tv drink a couple of beers while you watch re-runs of Seinfeld or Sex in the City then move on to playing another Grand Theft Auto game on your Play station since you are barely surviving and it just makes everything hurt less, use Alternating Current. On the other hand the older and more widely used means of power allows us to lesson the our mainly hood as we put the laptop on our crouch and the cellphone in our pockets, not to mention the stun-gun your girlfriend keeps in her purse is called Alternating Current. Now if the inventors Nikola Tesla who invented AC Electricity or Thomas Edison who profited from DC electricity were alive today and followed the current philosophy of the RIA then both of these fore-fathers of modern day electronics would have sued the ass out of the rock band AC/DC. Fortunately that isn’t the case and the RIA is in turn making millions by backing an industry who has exploited and infringed on infamous people, events and ideas for there own personal gain.

Rotten Apples Broken Windows

October 8, 2005 By - Leave a Comment

I have been asked many times, “which is better the MAC or Windows PC?”. There is no true answer to this debate. However, people who are computer dysfunctional may find Apple’s Macintosh computers easier to use. Apple always uses the latest technology, they never keep older technologies. Meaning that there systems will last much longer, of course this also means the initial investment is more. Apple has an innovated way of thinking and designing their machines. Simple. If you work on a Windows at work with customized business software it may be hard to find Mac version. If your looking for a cheap PC to write documents and cruise the web then windows is the best way to go. Apple computers and devices are really for those looking for the latest technologies which are geared towards the artistic and creative persona.
