The ‘Chromebook’ and what it tells us about the future …

Posted by mem0ri in Coding on May 16, 2011

Earlier this week, Google announced its Chromebook — an ultra low-cost notebook running the web-based Chrome OS.  Educators and students can ‘rent’ a Chromebook for $20/month.  Businesses can buy the low-cost machines for about $350 and get access to a ‘Google for Business’ suite of cloud apps for $28/month.  None of that, however, is particularly [...]

Foundations: Small and Simple (and sometimes Slow) Things

Posted by mem0ri in Culture on May 8, 2011

Note:  While I intend to orient this blog primarily toward tech and its associated topics, sometimes I’ll feel a need to speak on other issues (as I do with this post).  Usually these issues are related to fundamental life principles, so I will be prefacing such posts with the title ‘Foundations’.  Also … I stole [...]

Can You Disrupt Yourself?

Posted by mem0ri in Coding, Culture on May 2, 2011

The phrase “disruptive innovation” is one of those buzz words being tossed around business circles these days.  It’s being tossed around because we are in the middle of some very disruptive changes throughout our economy.  The internet has permanently changed music, television, movies, newspapers, games, communication, and more.  Recently, the internet itself has been disrupted [...]

‘Trimming’ : An Oft-Overlooked Life Essential

Posted by mem0ri in Culture on March 28, 2011

Let me start by saying that I am not about to talk about how turning off Facebook or Twitter might help you to live a less cluttered, more fulfilling life (I’d actually argue the opposite).  I am not lamenting up the same “life is so cluttered and chaotic” tree that is the beaten dead horse [...]

Predicting the Future of the Interwebs

Posted by mem0ri in Coding, Culture on March 20, 2011

The internet as we know it today is a relic of the past. Something newer and better is already here. It’s only a matter of time before the world realizes what happened a year ago: the internet as we know it died. I won’t be the first person to have said what I’m about to [...]

Bonsai Returning to Health

Posted by mem0ri in Journal on January 30, 2011

The one or two people who read my previous posts on attempting to grow bonsai out here in Utah know that it’s been a difficult first month for the trees.

Turns out – growing Bonsai in Utah is Difficult

Posted by mem0ri in Journal on January 11, 2011

While my first real effort at growing bonsai trees (in Florida during flight school) was rather successful, it turns out that growing trees in Utah can be a lot more difficult. The first full week with my new trees has been difficult. I kept finding every day that more leaves were dying, that nothing I [...]

The Bonsai Project

Posted by mem0ri in Journal on January 3, 2011

On New Years Day, 2011, I got three bonsai trees. Two of them are from a nice local nursery and were well maintained before I got them. One is a Chinese Elm and the other is a Ligustrum. The third was from IKEA and not in very good shape. It’s a Fukien Tea tree. I’ll [...]
