Misfits Coming To America!!! →
If you haven’t seen the excellent “Misfits” because you don’t get BBC or can’t figure out torrents, Hulu is starting to host the show next week! It’s only the first two episodes so far, but I’m sure if there is heavy activity they’ll bring more…and trust me, it’s the way “Heroes” should have been!
LightSquared And Sprint Reportedly Close To $20... →
Bring the speed!!!

The Noun Project →
Simple iconic graphics for common words…I would liken it to a “universal” visual dictionary of sorts
Free iSCSI SAN Software For Windows With... →
Roll your own iSCSI SAN…Software is free, but only runs on Windows…And the registration required is a pain in the ass too!
Microwave Tortilla Chips - $0.23/Serving →
Now this is more my speed ;)
'Calvin and Hobbes' Creator Bill Watterson... →
Might actually read that classic story finally…
Cloud9 - Your Code Anywhere, Anytime →
Online/Cloud-based IDE that’s free in certain situations…My kinda environment ;)
8 Really Useful Ubuntu Unity Quicklists →
I haven’t had a chance to really look into Ubuntu’s new Unity package, but it’s got potential…lots of it. This article lists off a few tweaks you can run with right now.
$25 Computing Platform...The Raspberry Pi →
700MHz ARM CPU, 128MB RAM, USB Port, HDMI Port, and a interface to connect a module like a camera or wifi…all for $25! It’s a concept right now, and it’s not a finished product even when it’s manufactured…but I can see several uses for it.

“Terminator 2012 is the title the pitch is going under right now. It involves...”
– YES!!! I love Christian Bale as Batman, but that last Terminator was a hunk of cybernetic shit…bring it back to what we like…Arnold time-traveling and kicking ass in present day…course I always thought a fun twist would be an western Terminator where they go really far back to try...
Lexical Word Finder →
I feel like this is cheating…
Group Policy For Beginners →
Cause we all have to start somewhere…the way GPO’s apply and filter is a bitch to figure out if you’re not used to it.
How To Multitask At The Linux Command Line With... →
SSH + Screen = A Productive Geek
Turn An Old Flatbed Scanner Into A Cheap Lightbox →
Hmmm…I think I have one of those hidden somewhere in my tech mess…
Reference - /etc/network/interfaces →
Sometimes I forget all the options needed to change from DHCP to static…in reality you just need:
address
netmask
gateway
DNS is probably handled via /etc/resolv.conf
President Obama's Long Form Birth Certificate →
I’ve always been annoyed with those idiots saying Obama was born in Iraq or somewhere else…do you really think the government would allow him to reach presidency if he wasn’t US born? Come on you morons…and now they can shut up since he finally posted it on-line. I understand his angle for not posting it…but at the same time he could have shut those fools up a long...
MyDefrag - Scriptable Defragging →
Man I wish more of life was scriptable…then I could automate the shitty aspects and enjoy the fun stuff ;)
How To Node →
node.js…I’m not sure why, but I really like the concept even though I have no clue how to truly utilize it hahaha
Running pfSense On A Watchguard Firebox X700 →
I love pfSense, and the new 2.0 is really shaping up nicely. The big problem is the hardware angle…you can run pfSense on almost anything, but if you’re seriously gonna use it for an enterprise project you don’t wanna waste space/money/power running it on a huge desktop/server. There are various smaller router-like products out there, but they can run up to $400 after they are...
Bootanimation Utility @ XDA-Developers →
Makes the process of importing/exporting Android boot animations as simple as a few buttons…much easier than the manual terminal way!
Micro Movie Player - Look How Small It Is!!! →
Man that thing is tiny…it looks like a slightly over-sized memory card reader, except with an HDMI port! So on one side you have a USB port and SDHC slot, and on the other is an HDMI port, AV port (5.1 Audio) and the power port…simple as that! It comes with a remote (Which looks pretty weak) and I’m not sure how bad the interface is, but I just can’t get over how small it...
Xobni For Outlook →
The original Outlook “app”, this really has some value if you’re a moderate Outlook user…
RedCritter - The Outlook App Store? →
Even Outlook is getting apps…Geez! For Outlook 2007/2010 users, looks pretty immature at the moment but it could scale nicely. Apps are made using Silverlight, and the basic service is free…honestly I can’t see this taking off, but it may just be the failed forerunner that we didn’t know we needed ;) Don’t worry, that doesn’t make sense to me either…sleepy...
ASUS EeePad Transformer Review →
Well, all I need to know now is what kinda stylus support does she have? Cause I’m sold otherwise…love the idea, and the price is great when compared to other options.
Sprint+Google Voice Early Invites Are Out! →
I got mine, but seeing as I’m close to getting a new phone I’m not sure I’m gonna swap around my numbers just yet…but then again there is a whole weekend coming up and nothing (geeky) planned so who knows ;)
Super Mario Brothers.org →
Holy Magic Mushrooms! I can’t comment on the quality of the games, but there is something like 30+ fan-made games on here…dig in!
VirtualBox 4.0.6 →
Just a “maintenance” release…still, some nice updates/fixes in this one, especially the Additions fixes!
How to parse web pages using XPath →
Parsing is never easy to implement, but sometimes its the only way you can grab data from a site in order to manipulate it…
Intel Is Porting Android Honeycomb To x86 Sooner... →
In order to get more manufacturers to use their upcoming Atom CPU’s Intel is looking to port/release an x86 version of Android’s Honeycomb OS…The hidden gem to this is that is should make using Android in virtual machines much easier and more up-to-date! I can’t wait…but I guess I’ll have to ;)
Apple iOS4 Tracks Your Every Move... →
I love picking on Apple, taking em down a peg ;) But I’m not naive enough to think Google doesn’t do the same thing…we just haven’t found it yet!
But seriously, the new iOS4 tracks your every move and logs it to an unencrypted file on both your phone and desktop (That you sync your phone with…so you could have multiples out there!) that is far too easy to exploit!...
