I’ve been sick, and hence, no updates have been posted in a while. I won’t go into the gory details; let’s just say I drove the bus around the block a few times.

In other news, if you hadn’t heard already, Jack Kilby, the inventor of the microchip, died late yesterday. Granted, about 56,000,000 people die every year, so, philisophically, Mr. Kilby doesn’t even rate as being a drop in the bucket, but he helped shape the world with his brilliant insight of 1958. While reading his story, I couldn’t help but wonder who will inadvertently kick off the Next Big Thing, and what it will be.
