Arogant Human Ignorance
A core part of the human experience is; we don’t know what we don’t know. It’s like the young child who covers their eye’s and thinks they are invisible. If something exists beyond our imagination then to us it doesn’t exist. Humans as individuals and humans as a herd don’t like change. An individual can […]
R.I.P.
Kyle Bruce Bergum is dead, only figuratively metaphorically, not physically, well not yet anyway. We all talk about it, death, and living.

More Changes!?

Telling Time with the Tissot – T
Telling time has always been a pain. Analog watches have been hard to read and digital watches are generally too small. I was in the market for a BIG watch a few years ago and a friend of mine found that Tissot made a vibrating watch the Tissot Silen-T. At the time I was considering […]
User Interfaces
