It used to be that the geeks were the ones for whom the future could not arrive fast enough. The average Joe Shmuck was barely aware of what was out now. Now, the general public will swallow whatever companies shove down their throat anc call it the best thing since sliced bread. Geeks, while they still have a more skeptical eye to the future will reluctantly move forward. We hold on to older, less âoesmartâ tech that wonâ(TM)t spy on us.

You think spreadsheet software is the geekiest thing you can collect? What about Star Wars memorabilia? Video games and video game consoles. Playboy.

And Sting is not somehow involved.

I have a smallish (400 titles) collection of DVDs and BluRays. Some of it is obscure stuff. But for me a DVD pays for itself if it includes great bonus materials, specifically documentaries. Most of it you canâ(TM)t even find on YouTube. And best of all no one has come into my home and taken them. In fact I sold over 100 of them some year ago, something I you canâ(TM)t do with digital copies.

Associated Television, a British music publishing company. It was bought by Michael Jackson in 1985 and sold to CBS records which was bought by Sony.

The life of a Repo Man is always intense.

Well I'm talking about both. In my own visualization of the book I substitute William Sylvester, who played Floyd in 2001 with Roy Scheider, who played him in 2010. It's mostly because outside of 2001 I had never seen William Sylvester before. I had to check IMDB just to get his name as opposed to Roy who I've saw in everything from Jaws to SeaQuest.

I remember the first time I saw 2001. I was at my grandmothers place and it was on cable. I didn't see it from the begining, I came in on the star gate scene. I was sitting there thinking WTF am I watching? I liked it. Then came the hotel scene, then the star child scene. Even eventually after watching the whole movie I still didn't get it. It wasn't until I read the book that it made any sense. When ever I read 2001 I visualize it as the movie because I can't think of anything better. I even imagine Heywood Floyd portrayed by Roy Scheider.

That term "killer" has always baffled me since the game Doom and all of the "Doom-killers." I heard the term Doom-killer before the term "first person shooters." Suffice it to say none of them "killed" Doom. Nor did all "iPod-killers" kill the iPod. I recognize "killer app" as a more useful term.

I remember watching a Subway commercial years ago where Jared was comparing their chicken sandwich to KFC's. He said that they used "real" chicken. So I decided to buy a chicken sub just to confirm what I already know. Their chicken was just a gaint chicken nugget. If KFC is fake there's more convincing.

Rather than working on ways to continue the level of waste we produce, why not make more products refillable? Toothpaste, lotion, ointments, whatever. Instead of putting them in the same old plastic squeeze tubes put them in serine-like tubes than can be opened, cleaned out and refilled. The was a high end toothpaste called Rembrandt that came in an upright bottle that when you push down on it the paste would dispense from the top. The bottle was hard plastic that was made of two parts. It wasn't refillable but it didn't seem like a stretch to make it so. I can see taking the empty container back to the store to be refilled for less then the full price. Reduce and save money.

Does this take account of ad ridden free apps. Certainly those seem generate money too. I myself have spemy roughly 40 bucks on Android apps or the past 5 years. I tend not to pack my devices with apps I'll only use once. I've even bought Palm and Window Mobile apps.
