Remember back in the early 1990s, when all those nimrods (the ones who brought us the dotCom Boom, and later, the dotCom Bust) put "e-" in front of everything that had to do with the Internet? It was e-insipid, but so are those e-people. Most of them went on to manage American banks and auto makers. Anyway, that's what inspired this e-post.If you have tried accessing The Cyberculturalist since,

Let's face it, I'm not entirely certain what a "Tanta" is. I think it's like a grandmother... or maybe a wooden cigar store Indian figure, but I really just wanted to sound all alliterative with a lotta the onomatopoeia. But all of that is called a "digression..."Um... oh!I am steadily adding new content to the site and have been since the Halloween roll-out. What's cooler yet is that a

Sorry for my absence the past couple days, a lot of appointments were rescheduled at the last minute and I didn't have time to set anything up here to cover my butt. Because of this, I'll work through the weekend to catch-up.Don't forget to check the site for new content. Not only did I publish a lot of the Chill department on Halloween, I've continued to add new pages which I failed to get hung

Hi guys, I'll be here soon, I just have a couple errands to run which take me out of the house. I'm taking the new laptop with me, but I couldn't logon to any of the (many, actually) wi-fi hotspots I found around town the other day; it kept asking me for a security key. I don't know if that was because of the networks' settings or my computer's, but maybe I'll get the chance to figure it out

Ken Ober, the host of MTV's classic pop-culture gameshow, Remote Control, was found dead in his home at 52. While the cause of death is unknown, the 52-year old Ober had complained of headaches and "flu-like symptoms" the night before, according to his agent.Remote Control was one of MTV's first non-musical programs. I did not realize it had run in the 1980s; it started in 1987. It featured many

The Thurston County sheriff's department posted a warning to parents regarding their use of the computer. Among the many ridiculous claims - and there are at least an even dozen - the Thurston County sheriff's department groups together warnings about Dungeons & Dragons and "...satanic phrases, sexual references or a sudden interest in related hard rock or satanic oriented posters, music, etc."I

Hi guys. I need to do some routine computer upkeep today (defrag, AV check, et.al.). I meant to do it last night and the electricity went out again - for about the fourth or fifth time since Halloween - so I didn't get to do it then.Everything's moving slower and it happened quite suddenly, so I'm worried there could be a virus or something, though it's most likely (knock wood) just all the crap
