OK Go – This Too Shall Pass
OK Go sure knows how to make a cool music video. You may remember some of their other great videos: A Million Ways Here it Goes Again
Upgrading the Entertainment PC
It’s been about about four years since the original Entertainment PC was put together. There have been quite a few small changes and upgrades made since then, but it finally reached the point where things were starting to go south a bit too often with this box. Looking at the current conversion of human years… Read more »
Throwing Images Down the Pixelpipe
While flipping through some Palm Pre apps a little while back, I ran across a gem of an app (and a service) called Pixelpipe that has come in very handy. What I was looking for was a way to upload multiple photos to different sites all over the internet. My Palm Pre only allows you… Read more »
What Happened on the Internet in 2009?
I ran across an interesting collection of facts and figures about things that happened with the Internet in 2009. It reminded me a bit about the Karl Fisch “Did You Know?/Shift Happens” videos that have been floating around for a few years (worth a watch if you haven’t seen it). Some of my favorite stats:… Read more »
Christmas Tree Rocket
It’s a shame I didn’t see this before taking our Christmas tree to the treecycle pile on Sunday… I think this would have been a lot more fun.
Guitar Hero Christmas Lights
Now these are some Christmas lights! This is another one of my favorites in the Christmas light department (be sure to dig into the making-of videos).

Evaluating Remote Backup Solutions
After a recent computer upgrade (hardware and Windows 7), I decided to reevaluate what I was using for a remote backup solution. I’ve looked at a handful of solutions, and think I’ve found one that fits my needs quite nicely. My Previous Solution Before getting into what system I ended up with, I’ll got into… Read more »
Everybody Needs an App Store
Since Apple released their official App Store in July of ’08, everyone has been jumping on the App Store Bandwagon. Every couple of weeks you see some new company releasing an App Store for whatever platform they represent. Some make sense, and some are a little far-fetched. LG Applicatoin StoreThey’re selling apps for LG phones… Read more »
USPS Virtual Box Simulator
I recently made a sale on ebay, and needed to figure out shipping charges when I ran across a cool new app from the good ole United States Postal Service. It’s called Virtual Box Simulator, and will help you determine which priority mail box is the best size for your items. All you have to… Read more »
Personas
How well does the Internet know you? I’m sure we’ve all googled ourselves at one time or another. The results from search engines can be a bit messy. If you want a more elegant depiction of how you’re represented on the Interwebs, give Personas a try. Personas is a component of the Metropath(ologies) exhibit, currently… Read more »
College Mindset List
The new school year is just about upon us -classes start here on Monday. With the influx of new students (and the departure of good parking places), your mind starts to drift back to the time when you were a scared freshman, out in the world for the first time. Beloit College has been putting… Read more »
