One of the reasons I have not posted anything since the end of Jan is that I’ve been busy working on an iPad app. Â But I decided to take a 10 min break from Xcode and discuss a quick topic that struck me tonight. First, make sure you are sitting down because I’m going to…

High Tech Monorails Airs Sunday
High Tech Monorails is a documentary I edited for my friend Rob Kelly. Â It’s airing on Travel Channel and Travel HD several times this month starting Sunday at 7pm PST. Â Set your TiVo and be sure watch it! The show covers several of the world’s best monorails including the Schwebebahn in Wuppertal Germany, which was…
tomorrowland virus killed
Just an update on the wordpress virus. Â After several hours of research followed by 3 or 4 hours of fixing, I’ve wiped out the virus and cleaned up the database. Â I also implemented guvnr’s 10 tips to make wordpress hackproof. Â (Ok if that’s not offering a challenge to all the hackers out there…) The main…
tomorrowland hacked!
Yes! Â I just determined that tomorrowland.com has been infected. You can read about the attack here. Â So the site might be up and down for a few days until I clean it up. Â And then I’ll be on vacation for a week after that. It’s a cleaver hack that somehow installed a hidden administrator account….
Tomorrowland.com down and now back up!
Let’s just say that I won’t be doing any more business with dreamhost. Â And I can’t recommend that anyone else do business with them either.

I know… the site has been quiet. Â Click to read why…Â
What’s New…
My blog updates have been few and far between these days. Â Fortunately this has presented me with several new ideas for posts, all which are “in queue” waiting to be written. Â In the mean time NAB happened. Â HOPEFULLY there are a couple of good posts that will come out of that. Â For example, I think…
Missiles over Vegas? – UPDATED & CONFIRMED
Less than an hour ago At 9:35 AM on Friday the 20th, I walked out my front door and saw this: Three contrails being left behind 3 very fast moving objects.  Is this what the apocalypse looks like right before the flash of bright light? I live in a suburb of Las Vegas, which is near Nellis Air Force…
michaelsmith.tv is now tomorrowland.com
In 1997 I had an idea for a website. My concept was to make a place where non-technical people could fill out a form and it would build a sub-site for them. I wanted it to be futuristic. A place or a land of the future, where people could have a digital home and connect…
Diffusion Dark this week
It’s been a rather busy week and it’s not going to let up any time soon. It’s probably better that I accept defeat right now. I’ll be back next week with a review of the Harman/Kardon AVR254 and some discussion of 7.1 Audio. In the mean time here’s a nice little distraction…
