The Geek Speaks

Once again the mighty news media empire calls out for a tech expert and Houston’s Best Tech Geek responds to the call!

Jeff Ehling wanted to come by and interview me for a a story on ABC 13 (KTRK) about about the new music service Qtrax that claims to be offering free and legal music downloads via P2P…

It’s available here for your web viewing pleasure:
Free online music downloads?

Jeff was telling me they’ve been getting mixed feedback on the new web site. I gotta say, I like it! It’s slick and easy to navigate. and I’m not just saying that because it was easy to find the piece featuring my interview so easily after the broadcast on the 6 o’clock news!

Greetings!

Co-worker: Can I ask you a question?
Me: Not if it’s about computers, I’m on my break.
Co-worker: It’s not a computer question
Me: OK, shoot
Co-worker: I’m having a problem with my e-mail
Me: That’s a computer question
Co-worker: No, it’s a software question
Me: #$%!*

Behold! The Future!

A video clip of online shopping as envisioned from the 1960’s, called “Shopping in 1999 A.D. The video shows online bill paying and PC desktops with flat screen monitors, including a multi-screen display.

I especially like the part that describes how the wife’s transactions will be sent to the husband’s console for payment and banking review….

…yea, right! Cynthia’s Amazon shopping goes mostly undetected by me until the box arrives in the mail!
