Many of our Mexico pictures! For now, as a teaser I've uploaded just the one below. Expect the others soon, once they've been compiled and organized from several sources. Click on the image below to see the larger version, then click again to see the original high-def image. And check out the waves, the aqua-blue-teal color of the water... ahh it was so fun...

Mobius Strip Paradox

The paradox of Mobius strip is that it has only one edge. See the example below. It's an interesting paradox named after August Ferdinand Mobius, a nineteenth century German mathematician and astronomer [source] [image source]. Thanks to Monica for telling me about it.

A Virtual Machine Future

I was able to quickly and easily convert my outdated IBM Thinkpad laptop, given to me by my employer, into a virtual machine running on modern, fast hardware - in this case, it runs on a Mac. Work now is faster and more convenient, as it runs inside my home laptop. It's have the best of both worlds, running PC and Mac applications side-by-side. Even my current employer's quirky VPN and Entrust-based access card system work just fine, wired or wireless. Virtual machines are the future again, and VMWare is waaaaay out front.

I took a screenshot for an example of a truly portable, Windows virtual desktop.

To run many virtual machines on bare hardware, try the VMWare ESX hypervisor, it will blow you away.

What is redbeet?

This is my retro website, a homepage that dates back to the day when the Web was still coded with text editors, well-worn keyboards, elbow grease and Unix servers... the guts all neatly hidden from sight thanks to hyperlinks.
