This past Tuesday, Yahoo! announced their purchase of technology from Meedio who make software for Entertainment Center PC’s. I’ve been eyeing Meedio for a while now and was planning on using their flagship “Meedio Essentials” application for an HTPC that I’m planning on building this summer. You may also remember some older posts about Jon’s… Read more »

New Look for Techory.com
I’ve been playing around with a new design for a little while now, and am finally to the point where it’s ready to go live. I don’t think it’s quite done yet (probably won’t ever be satisfied). I’ll still be tweaking things for a while, but I thought I would at least get it out… Read more »
Mentos + Free iTunes
It’s not like I need another reason to buy Mentos, but it looks like I just got one. Looks like Mentos has started offering free song downloads from Apple’s iTunes Music Store with codes located on boxes of Mentos Sours. I haven’t seen any of these free music Mentos Sours boxes in the wild yet,… Read more »
A Pig Just Flew By With an Apple in its Mouth
Well, the rumors came true. Apple announced a program called Boot Camp this morning that will let you boot windows (officially) on a new Intel Macintosh. It was Apple’s birthday last Saturday and they turned 30 years old. I’d be willing to bet that if they’d released this on their birthday (April 1st) nobody would… Read more »

cFree Wireless Officially Launches
It was a bit of a chilly day to be sitting outside surfing the internet on a laptop Tuesday, but that was the day of the official launch to the cFree Wireless Network. cFree has been a project I’ve been working with for a little under two years now. The initial idea for the project… Read more »
Real American Hero…
GI Joe is there! Goooooooooo Joe! Hasbro has taken all of the old GI Joe cartoons and put them online. They’ve also added Beast Wars, Transformers and quite a few others. Take a trip down cartoon memory lane! Well, now you know… and knowing is half the battle
Newsvine
On March first a great little website called Newsvine opened their doors to the public. I was fortunate enough to get a beta invite to the site and have been playing with it for quite a while now. It has quickly become my news outlet of choice on the web. Now you’re probably asking yourselves,… Read more »
ONTV & Democracy Video Players
Over the past few months I’ve run across a few of these video player/aggregator applications. A couple of the better ones I’ve found have been ONTV and Democracy. Both these players are more than just video players. They both present themselves as internet television and provide a nice directory of videos all viewable right inside… Read more »
Sketch Swap
Make a drawing… get a drawing. This quaint little site will give you a blank canvas to leave your mark. You’ll then receive a drawing from someone else doing the same. If making a drawing isn’t you thing, give file swap a try (from the same folks as sketch swap). It’s works the same way,… Read more »
Drive a Racecar Through New York
The new Windows Live Local Virtual Earth will let you take a spin through the streets of New York City (and any other city they cover) in a racecar, sports car, or on foot. This is kind of a novel way of showing the street-level photos they’ve had up for a while now as part… Read more »
Instructables
What to learn how to make cool stuff? Do you make cool stuff and want to show the world how it was made? Check out Instructables. It’s a site with a ton of really neat DIY projects. Some of my favorites: Giant Steel Skeleton Hand LED Throwies (i think i want to try this one!)… Read more »
More Mentos Commercials
I like to search for mentos whenever I’m anywhere that has some sort of search engine. Wow! A lot of people have made a lot of really bad Mentos commercial spoofs! With such a wonderful candy though, can you blame them?
Licorice Mentos
I was looking around Walgreen’s today, checking out the Mentos selection (which I do at just about every store that I go into) when I ran across something interesting… Black Licorice Mentos! I’ve had these before, but it’s be quite a while since I’ve seen them… and never in the U.S. The last roll I… Read more »
