Did you know I have a superpower?

No, really — it’s true. I even use it for the forces of good!

What, I hear you plead, could J’s superpower possibly be?

Anything you give me, I can take it and make it worse.

Many folks wonder how useful this particular superpower is. Allow me to describe:  Someone walks into our office, supposedly to get something IT-ish done.  They listen to what we are talking about, and are so appalled that they either forget what they came in for, or are driven off.  Now, that’s not using it for good, but it is useful sometimes.

To use it for good requires more effort, to wit:  We are planning something — an upgrade, perhaps.  We talk about things that could go wrong, and how we should plan for them.  I take everything that could go wrong, and make it worse.  This makes the plan more robust.

Catching up.

As usual, starting with overheard things — it almost always cheers me up:

I’ve been doing many things involving streaming flv video files:

Some wordpress (and other geeky) stuff:

Funny and interesting things:

Catching up for the new year…

Hopefully, there will be a new server to facilitate more rapid blogging, and you may or may not have noticed that I have adapted several scripts to allow my phone to photo-blog and video-blog. I will be cleaning it up and posting it to the world, soon I hope…

On with the 2blog folder, starting again with all things overheard:

Now that you are in a good mood, here come the geeky things (notice how many of them relate to the video-blogging from the phone):

Now, let’s explore what grabbed my attention politically:

Parenting stuff:

Funny things:

And finally, just a few things that are interesting:

More catchup blogging…

Once again, we start with things overheard:

And continue with geeky things:
