E-book? Wolfram Alpha still doesn’t know it
Last year, in June, I was stunned with a little discovery: Wolfram Alpha interpreted ebook as an African language. Since that time I was frequently checking how a most advanced self-learning tool on earth is coping with electronic books.

Vobis czyli rozmowa z robotami
Memo do siebie: spisz wszystko, to dobry materiał na opowiadanie. I tym razem nie zmieniaj nazw, przecież oparte będzie na faktach. 16 marca zamówiłem w sklepie internetowym Vobis baterię do laptopa. Wybrałem firmę znaną (choć nie wiem, czy cenioną) z prostego względu – mam bardzo złe doświadczenia z tanimi sklepikami internetowymi typu Ulubiony.pl. W sklepiku [...]
“Reading devices” – inappropriate language for Amazon
I opened last week a little Amazon store at my blog, where I list products which fit my interests. Today I was trying to create a Listmania list with e-reading devices available at Amazon. The thing is that it was not possible to publish it. A terrible line “Sorry! Inappropriate language was used” appeared every [...]
Nieplanowany wpis o tym, że Nokia to cienki tech-absurd
Ten wpis będzie z cyklu “jak technologia rozpieprza nam życie”, a jego głównym bohaterem – telefon Nokia. Przed gwiazdką odebrałem dla żony nowy telefon w zamian za przedłużenie umowy z operatorem. Model 6700 czyli nie taki znowu niedzisiejszy. Jedyną rzeczą jaką chciałem zrobić było przekopiowanie 750 kontaktów ze starego Sony Ericssona. No i zaczęła się [...]
Tech-absurd: xphone
Your iPhone is not enough any more? Look at this amazing ad-like fun video and imagine what will happen if your smartphone goes a couple of functions too far (I would still buy it, anyway).

This is a perfect example of #goognology. Experienced a minute ago.
21 great ideas for Google Apps which don’t make sense
Imagine what would happen if Google goes one app too far. Just check those fictional ideas – they are crossing this thin line, where you can’t meet common sense any more. It’s just a warning: let’s keep our eyes open and don’t mindlessly accept every novelty coming from the land of technology. Some tools are [...]
Zany Collection of Tech-absurd Short Stories
Please find below a full text of Court Merrigan’s review of my book Password Incorrect. I’m really proud of is as this is a first, and I hope not last, international assessment of the book, which I’m trying to promote to English-speaking readers without any publisher’s help. Court Merrigan Originally from Nebraska, Court Merrigan has [...]
Google-translated fiction v.1.09
It’s been eight long months since I started a litexperimental project called Google-translated fiction. A simple description is: letting technology, in this case GT Beta, influence the final effect of human’s writing. Major reason I’m running this project is to establish a presence of technological tools in literature in order to eliminate language limitations. Sounds [...]
Tech-absurd: Google Opt Out Village
Ubawiłem się. Goognologia w najczystszej postaci: dla twojego dobra robią ci krzywdę. Nie jest wykluczone, że tak to się będzie odbywać w niedalekiej googności. Ale póki co, można się śmiać, ile wlezie.
Tech-absurd: rysuj robotem?
Już się gubię, nie wiem co to jest: technologia w rękach człowieka, czy człowiek w rękach technologii?
