Things I want to remember – James Wallace Harris. My Weird Facebook Personality. By James Wallace Harris, Wednesday, July 8, 2015. Facebook is a fascinating phenomenon. It seems to be the perfect tool for keeping up with relations. In the old days you’d see your relatives on Christmas and Thanksgiving. Facebook lets you see what they are doing year round. Since Susan and I have no children it lets us keep up with nephews and nieces. But I must appear to be a rather eccentric uncle. Not really. What I...

Things I want to remember – James Wallace Harris. Exercising My Attention Span. By James Wallace Harris, Thursday, July 23, 2015.

Now I’m not complaining. ...

Things I want to remember – James Wallace Harris. By James Wallace Harris, Wednesday, July 22, 2015. I have to decide if it’s time to give up on my Windows Media Center PC and my old iPods. To avoid frustration I’m being herded towards using my Roku box and iPhone instead. I happen to have those devices but what about all the people who don’t? Another way to avoid technofrustration is to give up on technology. I could just read books instead of watching TV or listening to audiobooks. July 22, 2015. It so...

Things I want to remember – James Wallace Harris. Can We Build Nature Proof Houses? By James Wallace Harris, Monday, August 10, 2015. Is it a possible to design houses that can withstand hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms, fires and even earthquakes? Is it possible to design homes like the internet where each node is protected from failures in other nodes?

Things I want to remember – James Wallace Harris. Would You Nap in a Self-Driving Car? By James Wallace Harris, Tuesday, July 14, 2015. But I’m wondering how many people will feel safe in such cars? It sounds a bit creepy to me. But what if they turn out to be perfectly safe? Would you feel comfortable enough to take a nap while zooming down the expressway? Would you send your kids off to school without going with them? Will we reach a time where a human driving a car will scare us? July 14, 2015. 4 thou...
