Posting has been light, for that I apologize. Between work and the house thing, it’s been crazy. Apparently people are starting to figure out that Google is a company and not some benevolent lord of the manor/Web. (Read this article for a brilliant flame.) Their Web Accelerator (a term scoffed at when offered by the […]
Sadly, HowStuffWorks was probably deluged by nerds correcting their article on how lightsabers work. Have you ever wondered how these remarkable weapons work? Where does the energy come from, and how are they able to contain that energy in a rod-like column of glowing power? In this edition of HowStuffWorks, you will have a chance […]

MAKE, a occasionally interesting “hacking” blog, came out with a whopper of an article Monday detailing how to turn an old PC into a DIY TiVo/music server/gaming console. If you have an old PC and the console gaming stuff, it’s a pretty cheap solution. Aw heck, it looks like fun to build, too. It even […]
Because Microsoft is coming for them, targeting one of Adobe’s flagship products. Later in the day, Microsoft also unveiled “Metro,” which can be best described as an alternative to or replacement for Adobe’s PDF.
