Welcome

Independent Computing is my web space where I report on computer and networking related technologies, all without big corporation bias Through the years I have been active with computers and networking I have notice one disturbing trend; many business choose their technology path by what they see or hear from large software companies. Most of the time, the solutions they are lead to are not the best for them. At least this is what I say to justify all the time I spend on the computer when my wife asks.

New Google Nexus One Cell Phone

Nice phone, too bad it's not for AT&T. If it was I know Google's sales of the phone would be MUCH higher.

Sketch Books of the Future.

I came across this while looking around on the internet. This is how I see the world of my children's children. Working on some type of tablet computing device, or even in a virtual desktop viewed from some sort of head gear, and using a wireless track ball/stylus set!
Have fun guys!

My Windows 7 Luanch Party - Oct 22

Jacob's Birthday Party at the House

Made on a Apple iMac using iPhoto (2 clicks)....

Desktop Personal Computers and now Laptops

My top picks for a home desktop PC....

(I have added Laptops as well, most of this is the same for both)

How to choose your next desktop PC is a question I get all the time. What I value in a system may not be the same as others. It is important to know what your primary task for the system is going to be. (This is key if your on a budget)
Another question is how do you plan on networking them? Wire or Wireless. Do you need a monitor or if you have some old one you don't mind using?

Here is a simple program I have been working on to help show how to use hashes (%) AND object orientated design in Perl 6. I had allot of help from the great guys in #perl6 on FreeNode IRC (Thank you) I plan on working on a few more examples both for my own education but also help provide and spread working examples of perl 6 code.

Rest In Peace Michael Jackson 8/29/1958 - 6/25/2009

What a great Music Legend! So sad to see him go. I loved singing and dancing along while watching his videos.

I would love to place some of my favorite Michael Jackson videos here on this page, but that has been disabled on YouTube so here is the next best thing... The official Michael Jackson page on YouTube.
