Two Tools That Will Improve Your Life

By Matt Mitchell | Published: January 19, 2010

If you want your life to be made easier, download these two plugins for every browser on every computer that you use. XMarks I use three browsers regularly: Chrome, Firefox and Explorer, and I use them on multiple computers. Which makes bookmarking irritating at times. I do use del.icio.us (of course), but I generally just use it [...]

[Re]Evolver

By Matt Mitchell | Published: June 29, 2009

If you’ve read this blog for any length of time, you’ll know that sustainability is an important issue for me. The human propensity to waste natural resources has always rubbed me the wrong way. I’ve blogged about it often (here. Here. Here, too. And there’s lots more of them, just check the categories for environment and green [...]

The Last Idigenous Tribe

By Matt Mitchell | Published: December 15, 2008

Phase 1 is in the bag, so the site is now a fully-functional social networking system, complete with a community wiki and forum. Phase 2 is where its identity is really going to blossom, though.

The Singularity is Near

By Matt Mitchell | Published: May 27, 2008

MIT’s article “Hope on the Horizon” brims with observations on the kinds of advancements that illustrate, profoundly, that life is about to change, inexorably, for all humans, forevermore. In the article, they ask a panel of researchers to point out some economy-boosting technologies that are imminent. Life extension, sustainable cities, robots, biosolar cells, electromechanical energy–advancements that [...]

The Gods Must Be Envious

By Matt Mitchell | Published: March 15, 2008

I watched the movie “Troy” today. I’ve seen it before and my impression now is much the same as it was: a good movie. There are some hokey production errors, and a little too much hair spray and the costumes were designed just a little too pretty. Brad Pitt is good, but a bit too over-the-top choreographed [...]
