Enter Evernote, the super handy multi-platform information capture tool. Evernote allows you to easily capture information in any environment using whatever device or platform you find most convenient, and makes this information accessible… Read more »

The Internet Crisis?
Last week the FCC ruled that Comcast acted against their open-Internet principles by improperly slowing peer-to-peer BitTorrent traffic. Up to that decision, and shortly after that decision became official, there have been several good articles written on the topic. Some are strongly for it, and some strongly against. Some simply ask if it was necessary… Read more »
DrivePricing.com
I just ran across a cool little site that helps you determine how much a drive will cost from point A to point B, based on MPG, gas price in the area you’re traveling, distance etc. Given gas prices these days, this is a handy little tool. The results are a bit scary sometimes. Give… Read more »

Another Nintendo in a Nintendo
Remember the last Nintendo Cartridge Nintendo? This one takes it a step further, adding a controller and a screen to the package. Now you don’t even need to have a TV to play your cartridge-sized Nintendo. This one doesn’t look like you can play more than one game though. Oh well, it’s still pretty cool.

Appalacian State University Studies Mentos + Diet Coke
Appalachian State University has recently published the results of their study on the physics behind the Mentos + Diet Coke = Crazy Fizz phenomenom. This is some serious science that I can get behind! If you ask me, more research dollars need to go towards the study of Mentos. According to the study, here is… Read more »

Spreadfirefox is trying to set a world record for most downloads in a 24 hour period when the new version of Firefox 3.0 is released on June 17th. If you’d like to participate, visit the Download Day 2008… Read more »
iPhone 3G
The rumors were correct. Apple announced the 3G iPhone yesterday at their Worldwide Developers Conference. I have to say I’m very tempted. My year-old Treo 755p is looking a little long in the tooth. After several people I know have picked up iPhones over the past year, I’ve gotten to like the device more and… Read more »

Taking a look at the specs of this piece… Read more »
Blu-ray and HD-DVD for the Entertainment PC
Another component of the Entertainment PC has been upgraded to HD. Now that a winner has been chosen in the next-generation HD disc war, I figured it was time to make a purchase (even though it didn’t really matter with the choice I made). I bought the LG Super Multi Blue Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD-ROM… Read more »
Mentos KissCam
There seems to be a lot of Mentos news today! I just ran across a site called Mentos KissCam (I’m guessing from Europe) where you can (if you have a webcam) kiss a guy or gal after popping a Mentos Pure Fresh (a flavor not available in the US). Turn on your web cam and… Read more »
