How deep is Nvidia’s technology moat?
I watched Apple's "Apple Intelligence " announcement for a couple of reasons. One is that I'm a shareholder. The other is that Apple's marketing is pretty good, and I like to see their work. As the stock shot up after the announcement, I checked some of the...
The Novel Distraction Pt. II
Back in '18 I mentioned that I was busy with - among other things - writing a novel. I started writing in 2015, and gave myself 10 years to complete it. Well, it appears I may actually meet my self-imposed deadline! As someone who loves the sound deadlines make as...
Short Apple Watch Ultra Review
I've had an Ultra for four months. And in general I really like it for the size of the display and the extended battery life. My main outdoor activity is hiking on trails that I know well, so I haven't used many of the adventure-oriented features. I'll try some of...
StorageMojo on hiatus
I've finally had to admit that the passion that drove StorageMojo for over a decade - and to a peak Google PageRank of 7 - is spent. While I look forward to observing the changes in the world of storage and computing that will be, I have no doubt, even greater in the...
Image super-resolution getting better every day
I always chortled when the Good Guys were looking at some grainy surveillance footage and they "enhanced" the image to read a license plate. But it's a major research area - self-driving cars - and a new paper takes image super-resolution, the term of art, to a new...
Apple Watch saves (another) life
Nice piece by fellow ZDNet stable mate Jason Perlow on how his Apple Watch saved his life. And made an Apple believer in the process. Lots of personal detail that bring home the story. The StorageMojo take Heart disease is a leading killer in much of the developed...
Coming soon: StorageMojo v2.0
Just to let you know: I'm rebuilding StorageMojo - as part of launching StorageMojo v2.0 - on a new theme and finding it harder than I expected. So please pardon the mess while I get it figured out! Update: You are now looking at the new WordPress theme that I plan to...
On retiring an old photo
Early on a friend told me I should have a photo of myself on StorageMojo. It seemed like a good idea, so I choose one taken the year before (2005), by a tourist, at sunset on Big Sur. Sunset gives great light - sunrise too - and I liked the photo's rosy glow since I...
Hike blogging: Hangover Trail 3-31-18
Haven't been doing much hike blogging lately. Why? Haven't been doing much hiking. I've mostly been biking. Love my new ebike! Rarely take the car out of the garage. But I'm not comfortable leaving the bike at trailheads. Yeah, the terrible friction of taking the car...
The Intel/Micron shotgun divorce
One of the oddest marriages in high tech is coming to an end. Intel and Micron have announced that they are going their separate ways on 3D Xpoint. They’ll still share their Utah fab - joint custody - but Intel will no longer subsidize Micron’s R&D, and Micron...
