Irreverent Reverence, Day 62: To the Unknown God

People in ancient Aeropagus had a lot of idols, and one was to “an unknown God”. I’m not certain why anyone would do this, but maybe it’s because people would rather ignore the known things of God because of the unknown things about him.

Check out Numbers 7-8, Acts 17, and then the entry for more.

Attention Shoppers: Your Errand Just Got Easier, Maybe

yoke_shopperHey folks, let’s discuss shoppers for a moment.  Now, what do you hate about a routine trip to the grocery store to pick up the bare essentials for the home?  Frustrating traffic, limited parking spaces, your item of interest being out of stock, unhelpful store employees, rude co-shoppers or having to carry heavy, plastic bags for your “twenty items or less” trip?

If you said yes to that last annoyance, carrying plastic bags, then the people at Gizoo have a solution for you!  It is called the Yoke Shopper.  A plastic clip with a retractable strap.  Sounds low tech and unimpressive, right?  Well, not all new technology has to be fancy, intricate and complicated.  Some new developments in modern convenience can be simple in design and still be effective in actual use.  Such is the case with the Yoke Shopper.

Rest Easy, PS3 Lovers, Crisis Averted

PS3-bug-error-8001050F-thumb-550x276-34889

Good day to you, customers and fans of PlayStation Network!  Yes, it is actually a good day for those of you who own Sony’s game console.  Whether you were personally affected by it or only read about it in the last couple of days, it seems that the crisis of Error 8001050F is now over.

The latest reports from Sony indicate that this problem which prevented PS3 users worldwide from logging into their online accounts and playing online game has been resolved.  Apparently, the problem started with the console clock of the older PS3 models.  It was a leap year this past February and the console clock is set automatically to switch over to the next calender date by day.  Instead of adjusting them to read the following day as March 1 after February 28, the console clocks thought the next day was February 29.  As a result, this confused the PlayStation Network servers and caused the consoles themselves to lock out.

Since then, Sony has been quick to reassure their customers that the problem is completely solved now with no significant, lasting damage to the consoles.  However, Sony did inform gamers that there may be some minor issues left over from the crisis such as strange glitches and loss of trophy and save data.  Thus, customers now find their online service and consoles functioning properly again.
