2 weeks ago I am a huge car fan! A classic muscle car or a shiny new pick-up truck can turn my head in an instant. I enjoy going to car shows, reading car magazines, and working on cars. Anything to do with cars, it catches my attention
4 weeks ago Rome wasn't built in a day. Check. And neither was Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. Got that, too. But now you can see three years of construction on the new hospital occur right before your eyes--in less than two minutes--courtesy of this webcam time lapse video.
April 21, 2013 When I was a kid, I loved watching The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. I remember thinking how cool it would be to have a bionic leg or bionic hearing or a bionic arm. While he never in a million years thought he would have a Steve Austin or Jamie Sommers-style accident and end up with bionic limbs (he was electrocuted), Owensboro's Jason Koger is enjoying his brand new bionic hands, that he demonstrated recently when he stopped by the WBKR studios. Take a look! Jason's new Touch Bionics hands can be controlled by a phone app and they will absolutely blow your mind! This is truly one of the coolest things I have ever seen . . .
April 14, 2013 Earlier this year, Jason Koger's bionic hands were the star of an episode on Hawaii Five-0. Now, he's landed on national television again. Yesterday, the Owensboro resident appeared on CNN with Dr. Sanjay Gupta and showed off his brand new set of bionic hands. Believe it or not, Jason's new set of hands, courtesy of Touch Bionics, can be controlled and programmed with a phone app. Check this out!
April 7, 2013 While watching TV this week, I noticed a lot of commercials saying something like “if you missed your favorite show you can watch it tomorrow on a tablet, smart phone or other device.” I didn’t pay much attention to them at first, but as the week went on I started to see more of these commercials (or at least it seemed like I did)
April 3, 2013 How many of you have a cell phone? I would probably imagine that some of you are even reading this on a cell phone. Well if you enjoy your cell phone (and most of us do), then today is a day to celebrate it!
It was 40 years ago today that the first call on a cell phone was made! Marty Cooper, who was an engineer with Motorola at the time, made the first call
March 27, 2013 When you're at work, and a lot of the work you do is on the Internet, and the Internet goes down, well you're pretty much left with making coffee, chatting with colleagues, or wondering what the color of the hallway carpet COULD be.
March 24, 2013 Everyone who has flown knows the drill. Once you get on the plane you stow your bag, fasten your seat belt, and make sure to turn off any electronic devices. Well, one of those things could change by the beginning of next year
March 17, 2013 Last week I wrote about the beginning of South by Southwest (SXSW) music, film, and tech festival. Well the festival is wrapping up today so I figured I would bring you an update!
While I wasn’t able to go to SXSW I followed it all week through various blogs, news reports, and even artist tweets
March 10, 2013 Yesterday I posted a blog about the South by Southwest festival. Well while doing some catching up on the events of the festival last night I can across something I thought was really cool.
Aside from the musical performances, film premieres, tech shows, and forums, this year a company will be holding a job interview at the festival. While normally this would cause too many people to raise an eyebrow (unless you were headed to Austin today) but the reason it sparked my interest was the style of interview that this company will be holding.
March 9, 2013 Last year I was introduced to a new festival. Well at least a new festival to me, this has been around as long as I have been alive. It is called South by Southwest. It covers technology, music and film. Since I am big into all three of these areas, I was surprised that I had never heard of this festival.
March 7, 2013 First of all, I'm a huge fan of AMC's The Walking Dead, as you may know. Second, last Sunday's episode--entitled "Clear"--was the best episode, so far, since the series began. Great writing!
