Very cool idea. Although, having played hours of WOW at this point with my kids I’m not sure it’s so important to move even less than one does now while playing video games. I’d actually like to see someone incorporate a wii-fit or some other sort of controller that REQUIRES more interaction.
Damn! I am [...]
I LOVE THIS PICTURE. I believe it’s from a 1950’s issue of Popular Science magazine.
What exactly are the two "steering" type wheels used for?
This evening marked the last hours for my trusty 21" CRT InterGraph monitor. The picture finally went out on this 75 lb beast of a monitor. It’s only… um… 15 years old? Now I’m stuck with this crappy 22" LCD monitor. UGH! How do people deal with these things. What will I do with all [...]
I’ve come across two packages that seem to excel at schematic capture and PCB layout.
KiCad - a full featured schematic capture and layout program that has extensive libraries and is entirely free and open source under the GPL license. It runs on Windows (XP, 2000, Vista) and Linux and there are rumors of it [...]

ScribeFire
To quote from their web site:
ScribeFire is an extension for the Mozilla Firefox Web Browser that integrates with your browser to let you easily post to your blog: you can drag and drop formatted text from pages you are browsing, take [...]
I’m sitting here at the Mac. I would be at the PC right now but a hacked version of a ‘certain software’ installed on my PC allows my significant other to print out professional looking documents for less than the $2000 price tag of a full version.
It’s kind of lame really. She prints 5 times [...]
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I purchased a LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini Drive. In short it’s a 500GB Gigabit Ethernet NAS device with a built in media server. It uses Linux as its internal OS and Firefly Media Server to share media files. (music files show up in iTunes under shared libraries and [...]
I hate Bluetooth headsets. I’m not sure why… Maybe it’s the Borg-like look they tend to have. Or maybe it’s the fact that similar looking earpieces were the only way to identify if you were under the control of the Cybermen. No… I’m pretty sure it’s because typically people who wear them tend to [...]
Does not knowing the entire path while navigating a directory structure bug the willies out of you? It does me.
This works on Mac OS X 10.5. I’m assuming it works with all 10.0 and higher OS. If not, let me know.
While searching the web for a solution to this problem I found this:
$ defaults write [...]
I got a chance to try the LaCie 1-Click backup software for the PC. It’s a free download from LaCie and can be found here. It is a very simple application that provides a single hotkey “Ctrl-S” backup of folders that you specify. It doesn’t appear to perform a backup with any sort of schedule. [...]
