Lego and felt pen printer
Clearly, someone is tired of the insane price of ink cartridges.
Thus, we have a homemade printer built out of Lego, using a felt marker for ink. Truly a marvel of engineering.
Happy Birthday Pac-Man
Pac-Man, the iconic yellow circle that runs through mazes gobbling up white pills, saying nothing more than “waka waka,” while being pursued by ghosts turns 30 today.
The game spawned sequels, a cartoon show and even a breakfast cereal!
As one of the the most recognizable video game brands, Pac-Man in a way came to be [...]
We won’t survive zombies
If the dead were to rise up and begin feasting on our brains, well, it doesn’t matter if you’ve read the Zombie Survival Guide or not. Odds are, we’re screwed.
At least, this is according a new study from the University of Ottawa.
Assistant mathematics professor Robert J. Smith? (apparently he needs a question mark [...]
Windows 7 impressions
Ooooh, pretty. Look at how nice those fonts are…
Okay, but seriously, I’m probably a little late on writing this up, but on the other hand, I’ve been living with the Windows 7 beta for longer than a week now.
First things first: This sucker flies. I haven’t sat down with a stopwatch while it [...]
CTV gets it
It seems Canadians may no longer be the second-class citizens on the Internet they once were. At least, that’s certainly how I felt watching last week’s season premiere of Lost on CTV’s website.
See, for sometime sites like Hulu have existed, providing a free and legal way to watch TV shows online and have gotten plenty [...]
Gmail saves us from drunk e-mails
I’ve been a fan of Google’s web-based e-mail service Gmail pretty since it started in private beta.
Since the service’s humble beginnings as an improvement on the way we used web mail, many new features have been added, some neat and some pretty useless.
However, they’ve just one new nifty feature to save us from ourselves.
Enter Mail [...]
Rumors are stupid
And so are online music subscriptions.
So The Unofficial Apple Weblog received an anonymous tip that Apple is set to announce a subscription service for iTunes.
To TUAW’s credit, they state right at the beginning of their post that this is probably B.S. Unfortunately, even with that preface, that rumor is now spreading across the intertubes. [...]
Wait, that’s $400 WITH a contract?!?
Setting: An average Rogers store. Center stage is the iPhone podium while stage right and back hold displays of various GSM phones. Stage left is a sales counter, behind which stands Sales Dude.
Me: Excuse me, how much for the Blackberry Bold?
Sales Dude: That’ll be four-hundred dollars.
Me: Wow, I can swing that.
Sales Dude: Alright, let me [...]
Xobni – a day late, a buck short for me
Xobni, a product I’ve been interested in for some time has finally been released to the public.
It’s a Microsoft Outlook extension that claims to find the “hidden social network” in your e-mails. It’s functions do look really cool. For example, when you click the profile of someone you e-mail regularly, it’ll show things like [...]
Wow, why does Techmeme suck?
Today’s top story: Some guy I’ve only heard of in passing deletes his Twitter account!
I suppose I’m perpetuating the insinuated complaint in this post by writing about it, but it needs to be said. I’m trying to imagine the level of ridicule that would be doled out if any other news outlet led with a [...]
