The widget

I created my first Drop.io drop near the beginning of the month and have made many more since. I even recently upgraded my original drop with increased space for $10. What you find below is the widget for my original drop at drop.io/riker17.


drop.io: simple private sharing


You can add files if you wish, I just ask that you keep the upload to under 5Mbytes. Thank you and have a great day!

Ethernet cable

Connecting the masses, with short wires, long wires, all lengths and sizes, data travels point A to point B and information spreads, for evermore. Also, it looks like an old-time desktop microphone, like the type that Larry King uses.

A man and a gun

What is up with FOXNEWS today? This picture of Uday (if that is who it is) makes him look like a good guy. So, he's holding a rifle of some sort. Is that a crime? I don't think so. Heck, if you knew nothing of the guy and saw this pic, you are likely to think that he was a friendly chap, easy to get along with, a poker buddy, if you will. Why show a smiling, friendly-looking Uday, FoxNews?

The BigDog in action!

This is rather amazing, to see a robot with the ability to recover after slipping on ice and walking in snow. View the video here. Way to go, Boston Dynamics!

Twicher

I just added Twitxr.com badge to my sidebar. You'll find it just above my Flickr app and just below my Twitter updates. I have one pic on Twitxr so far, will add more soon. This concludes today's post.

Women-only gym hours?

Being this is women's herstory month, this story is only fitting: Women-only gym hours at Harvard. This is a slippery slope of the worst kind. This is how it works (for those of you in Rio Linda), begin with something small, seemingly insignificant, like gym hours, and than move on to more items, maybe separate times for eating in restaurants or the type of clothing allowed at the beach. When will we AMERICANS stand up and say "HELL NO!!!!!!" to the Sharia Law spreading this way?! What will it take to wake us up?
