For my Snow birds on the mainland…. Don’t say a brother didn’t try to help…
The SuperDroid Robot 6WD with Snow Plow can do just that. As you guessed, this is a robot that plows snow. This is a custom 6-wheel drive remote control machine. You can stay inside and plow your driveway. There is a 52″ wide snow plow blade mounted to the front of the robot. An air cylinder is used to remotely lift and lower the blade.
EPIC !!!
His Scooba iRobot has at times displayed moments of self-awareness
I don’t always write code outside my office, but when I do, I prefer to do it on the beach.
Stay geeky, my friends !!

While I look forward to the Singularity, I must be cautious not to fall for the sofalarity.
Imagine that two people are carving a six-foot slab of wood at the same time. One is using a hand-chisel, the other, a chainsaw. If you are interested in the future of that slab, whom would you watch?
This chainsaw/chisel logic has led some to suggest that technological evolution is more important to humanity’s near future than biological evolution; nowadays, it is not the biological chisel but the technological chainsaw that is most quickly redefining what it means to be human. The devices we use change the way we live much faster than any contest among genes. We’re the block of wood, even if, as I wrote in January, sometimes we don’t even fully notice that we’re changing.
A great first step. A bit disappointed that Antigua and the USVI weren’t there. But no worries this is a marathon not a sprint.
St. Lucia, St. Kitts-Nevis, the Turks and Caicos Islands and the British Virgin islands (BVI), Thursday signed a pact that help islands implement near-term, demonstrative renewable solutions in schools, hospitals, public transport, tourism and utility scale renewable energy.
The agreement was signed during the meeting organised by the Carbon War Room, a nonprofit organization chaired by Sir Richard Branson, founder and chairman of the Virgin Group.
Sir Richard said islands in the Caribbean have extremely high electricity costs and the new renewable projects could help reduce those costs.
“What we hope to do is use Necker as a test island to show how it can be done. The only way we’re going to win this war is by creative entrepreneurship, to make the price of clean energy cheaper than that of energy from fossil fuels.”
After years of having to do it either manually through Task Manager or using a scripting engine like AutoIT, I finally settled down and wrote my own Win32 application that does massacres processes that I don’t like. Will post source code later.
Note that this kills all instances of the specified process.
Usage : killproc.exe <name of process>
e.g c:\killproc.exe chrome.exe
I saw this begin to happen nearly 10 years ago. The technology wasn’t ready then, but every year that passed, it became obvious that this will be the future of work, at least for professionals.
I travel quite a bit now, but my experiences are just a drop in the bucket compared with a new breed of workers called Digital Nomads. A Digital Nomad, as I define it, is someone who’s broken free of workplace conventions–9-to-5 schedules, cube farms, and two weeks of vacation–and decided for themselves where they wanted to work. And they do it while pursuing their passions.
This is a good resource.
