Hellsing, Vol. 10 by Kohta Hirano My rating: 3 of 5 stars Well... this was an anticlimactic ending. 🙄. I was first introduced to Hellsing in Anime form in 2001.  The original ending of having "Incognito" as the big bad made little sense, but then I read somewhere on the web that the manga was not complete at that point, so the animators needed to modify

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power by Shoshana Zuboff My rating: 5 of 5 stars I would say that this is a "must-read" book. It reminded me a lot of the original aspirations and "promise" of connected technologies and "smart" devices, which was to serve people for the purpose of improving our lives.  Instead, what

Dogfight: How Apple and Google Went to War and Started a Revolution by Fred Vogelstein My rating: 3 of 5 stars Not a bad book.  Having just finished "The One Device: The Secret History of the iPhone" which only deals with the development of the iPhone, this book was both shorter and covered both Apple and Google.  As such, I think this book plays a

 I guess the tech-world isn't spared drama, and it appears that I missed some of this drama this past summer!  I was setting up a new Mac Mini and I was installing Rapidweaver.  The version I have on-hand is RW8, and I saw that there was an upgrade notice to "Rapidweaver classic".  Huh?🤔 Why get rid of version numbers? Well, it turns out that RealMacSoftware wants to make RW

 Τσά!  Να και ο Σεπτέμβρης!  Που πήγε το καλοκαίρι;;;;🙄  Την ερχόμενη εβδομάδα αρχίζει ξανά η δουλειά.  Όχι πως είχα "διακοπές" αυτές τις τελευταίες δύο εβδομάδες αλλά λέμε τώρα. Αυτό που δεν αρχίζει φέτος είναι

 Seen it somewhere on the internet this week...

Well, this is one humorous take on the current situation with the MBTA...

The other day I happened to see a notice on Twitter that EdModo was shutting down in about a month's time. I don't often post about EdTech on this blog, but I don't want to document my technology adieus on the other blog.  The timeline for the closure seems rather abrupt to me.  I am wondering if they were expecting another round of funding, or if they sold the company, or what.  A month

Well, with the Orange Line going into shutdown in 2 days for a 30-day maintenance, the MBTA has released a map of how to get around in Boston using public transportation and getting around the Orange Line shutdowns.I don't know about you, but this looks like a major hassle. I also suspect that the Red Line and Green Line (already strained even before all this) will finally break.  I predict that

 With the summer winding down, I guess it's time to leave the summer vacation magical island of Risa. Interestingly enough I did not spend a ton of time in STO this summer. I did log in once a day for a quick "Fly High"mission to get this summer's freebie ship, but there wasn't much to keep me around.  I don't think I participated in any other Lohlnut gathering activities.  I had stacked
