Music Keynote T Bone Burnett’s Powerful Keynote Speech

April 29, 2019April 29, 2019 Steven Guccione

This blog started as a small protest against the abuses of Facebook and other enterprises that exploit our privacy for profit.   Ran across this talk by T-Bone Burnett at the recent SXSW 2019.  It is worth a listen (was looking for a video, but couldn’t find one).

Electric Buses in Austin

April 28, 2019 Steven Guccione

About a year ago I saw some electric buses in Denver (Electric Busses), and found out Austin is trying a few out.  Talked to a friend in Houston and they are having a look but haven’t bought any yet.  This can be a big deal when they go into broad use.  From the Austin Monitor:

Capital Metro to buy last wave of diesel, first electric buses

Kura and Ranch 99

April 26, 2019 Steven Guccione

Stopped by Kura, the conveyer sushi place on Lamar and Airport.  Pretty good.  Stopped by the Ranch 99 Market after to get some katsu sauce.  Got all sorts of other stuff too.

More Wireless Things

April 24, 2019 Steven Guccione

Still finding devices trying to log into my new router since I added password protection (Router Flash Fail).  This time it was our two Roomba knock-offs, which need to talk to the WiFi, at least if you want to control them from an app.  Wonder if there are any more cut off WiFi devices lurking around the house.

Ethiopians in Colorado, Cubans in Kentucky

April 22, 2019 Steven Guccione

Saw an article recently that had a similar map.  This one is from Slate in 2014 and probably not the same article, but has the same map.  Found the list of second countries interesting.
