It’s Friday night and the wife has the remote control. Which means we’re watching stuff I’m not interested in. IPhone to the rescue! Fortunately my trusted iPhone appendage can entertain me. I’ve played games. Read online stuff. But I lost... by williamlevins | Dec 28, 2012 | General Thoughts
While watching the Mickey Mouse Club House with my daughter I noticed that Mickey’s ears always face forward. You never see them from the side, even when Mickey turns his head or body sideways.

I’ve gained a little weight recently. Ok a lot of weight. So I’ve gotten a few new stretch marks beyond the bunches I had from my younger days weight lifting. So I was looking for a solution to make them fade away. My wife told me about Elastin3 from... by williamlevins | Oct 18, 2012 | General Thoughts
I think this is a good situation, since copyright has been corrupted to a point that it stifles innovation and creativity. Since copyright now spans a century or more it’s almost impossible for works to shift into the public domain. This will also provide a... by williamlevins | Oct 11, 2012 | General Thoughts
This is interesting to me. Not only that the Ampersand use to be part of the alphabet, but how the word itself came to be. Silly perhaps. But none-the-less I’m fascinated.
