Strange Brew by John Deering for June 17, 2015

Splendid!

You can’t take it with you.

Puts me in mind of the drive up ATM that had buttons in Braille.

The new hot spot for the connected crowd.

I read someplace of a company that allows you to make a recording which can be put into your tombstone. When your family comes to visit, they push a button and there you are, video and audio. Trouble is, none of us know when we’ll breathe our last.

For those of you who text and die.

For those of you with kids, next time you drive by a cemetery ask them how many are dead in there?

What better place to sit quietly and do some computing than in a large, grassy, well-lit, undisturbed area?

I was driving through the east side of Baltimore a couple decades ago, near the county line, passing a Jewish cemetery when I saw a satellite dish mounted on a building on the grounds. “What’s this!?” I asked my wife, “They get satellite in this cemetery and I don’t even have cable!?”
