A few of my random thoughts, ideas, etc. All technology related of course.

Imagine the day when you can go out and buy a vision product such as an addition to your everyday video camera that will allow you to see through walls. Well, see heat through walls actually. Then you can drive around and see what all those people are doing inside their homes. Heck, if they aren't home and their neighbors aren't home perhaps this device will aid mister cat burgerlar. Scary.

I came across an interesting article/program not too long about a similar product. I read or heard that Sony sold a home video camera that contained a special filter, which surprisingly enough, allowed people to see through clothing. Word got out and most of this Sony model ended up selling out. Fortunately they fixed the problem in the newer models. From the reports/visuals I have seen this "seeing through clothing" claim isn't all that great. So keep your clothes on and don't worry about it...yet.

Beware of giving out your everyday E-mail address to employeers. I don't think the day is far off when they start using DEJANEWS and the USENET to do a little background check to see if anything you have done shows up. If you do need to give out an E-mail address I HIGHLY recommend using an E-mail forwarding alias. And be extra careful when using this alias (i.e. don't post it anywhere on the net, including your own home page).

Here is an MPEG clip of a guy having a bad day with his computer at the office. Personally, I believe the scene was staged. If you don't believe me listen for the sound of WOOD being kicked (not a monitor mind you) towards the end of the clip.
