Marke Clinger — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 14:45:16 +0000

Does this 1987 Apple concept video, Knowledge Navigator, give clues to what Apple will be announcing later this month? I believe we will get a voice interactive device in my lifetime, but not sure we will see it this year. What do you think? Let me know you thoughts. Check back this weekend to see my [...]

Police Search for Paul Merhige

Marke Clinger — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:10:25 +0000

As those of you who follow me on twitter know, on Wednesday night I had trouble checking into my hotel, the Miami Doubletree. Evidently Paul Merhige had been sighted in the hotel and a massive manhunt was underway to find him. After an hour I checked into a different hotel after capturing the following video [...]

Arctic Wolf, originally uploaded by Marke Clinger. To the best of my knowledge this is an arctic wolf. I was driving just outside of the city of Yellowknife, NT in Canada when it crossed the road in front of me. It stopped and posed on a berm on the side of the road. I think it [...]

BookMooch and Prisons

Marke Clinger — Fri, 09 May 2008 04:07:10 +0000

As you know from a previous posting, I have been using BookMooch to trade used books. This week I received a mooch from “Prison Book Program“. A quick search directed me to the web site explaining this is a non-profit organization that gives books to prisoners. I had no idea this organization existed. BookMooch seems like [...]

As a user of a PC at work and a Mac at home, I am always on the lookout for applications that will allow me to get my work done using my Mac when I work at home. Eventually I would like to follow many others and switch to a Macbook Pro as my work [...]

Bookmooch: Free Books from the Airport

Marke Clinger — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 03:33:42 +0000

My wife and kids read at least twice as many books as I do per year, which makes our collective used book generation pretty significant. A few months ago I signed up for the Bookmooch service to give our used books away. I was surprised at how fast books where being mooched (requested) from my [...]

Marke Clinger — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 06:52:19 +0000

I am glad I made it into the first 500 people invited to use Skydeck. After reading the basics about it the night before I couldn’t wait to get into the Beta. As you know I am in sales and I use my Blackberry as my primary communication device. I don’t have an office phone, [...]

X-RAID: The Borg of Network Attached Storage

Marke Clinger — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 05:23:47 +0000

by Marke Clinger This weekend I did the unimaginable. I purposefully pulled out, one by one, every drive in my ReadyNAS NV RAID while it was running. I am pretty familiar with RAID technology because of the work I did in the late ’80s with several pioneering companies working on early RAID and network attached storage [...]
