ColdFusion/CFML. All day, every day. Although a heavy dose of the newer hotness and the eventual migration of everything I work with off of it is in the works. Still enjoy working with it though. Very productive.

This has helped me greatly over the years in a world full of haters. May it help you too.

campusman | 12 years ago | on: Star Trek, tech companies, and the death of futurism in cinema

This article brought up a good point. But while Star Trek is a vision of the future from the past, there is plenty of SciFi out there from very talented people with extremely fertile imaginations that is just waiting for some young filmmaker to take a chance on and deliver us a new Star Wars or Star Trek type franchise. The books I have run across in that have been published in more recent years cover everything from hard scifi that could be a reality today with a ton of money and the will to engineer it into existence, to the really fun theoretical stuff out there on what could be...

I myself have a preference/hope to live in the universe that Peter Hamilton conjures up in Pandora's Star. Its everything that got me into Star Trek as a kid and so much more. That is just one of many books that give me hope for our near and distant future and what could be...even if a bunch of it seems as far from reality for us as iPhones were in 1969.

I do....I know this person personally. She is duplicitous and ethically bankrupt. I have seen studies done years ago supposedly on some of the things she has developed and their efficacy but nothing in the last decade pretty much. The people commenting with skepticism on her credentials earlier in this thread are getting close to the mark with their assumptions. If you dig deeper on her a lot of claims fall apart. It sickens me she is getting all this exposure and publicity.
