Mea Culpa . . .
First up, blog reader Mike Rado alerted me to the fact that the story I related, about the guy destroying his company with one line of bad code, was a hoax.
When I looked at the story a few days ago when it first appeared, everyone assumed it was true. And I was in good company getting fooled, with company like Kim Komando, Popular Mechanics, and several other tech sites
And for what it’s worth, in the same circumstances, the ‘rm –rf’ command will work exactly as described.
Mea Culpa.
The promised oncoming bad weather keeps dodging all around us, with only the windy part showing up. But they’ve issued flood warnings for the Conroe area, so maybe it’s still in the works. We’ll see.
Sometime later tonight or tomorrow, I’ll start posting Greg”s Favorite Apps to the blog. I’ve already created the pages for the 12 different categories I’ve come up with. and around 80 different apps.
Greg’s Favorite App Categories

Eventually for each app, I’ll have a link to the Play Store, a graphic, and a description of what it does.
I’d also like to hear from our reader’s recommending any that you don’t see on my list.

In the past I’ve mentioned 3D printers and all the amazing things they’re doing with them, from printing working guns, to prosthetic limbs for injured soldiers, to replacement duck feet, and even printing food.
But now here’s a 3D printer that will print a house in just a day or so. Check it out.
And even more wonderful things are on the horizon, including the 3D printing of human organs. So no more transplants with all the inherent rejection problems. Instead they’ll just print you up a new heart, lung, liver, or kidney, from your own cells. So no more rejection problems. And no more people dying while waiting on the transplant list for a matching organ.
Thought for the Day:
