  • A Flat Out Lie for Network Neutrality

    📁

    If you’ve seen this cable ad about network neutrality, it’s essentially a flat out lie of what Network Neutrality really is. Read about it on BoingBoing. ➡️

  • Firefox 2

    📁

    Mozilla has finally released the next version of Firefox (right after Microsoft released Internet Explorer 7). At first glance it’s not a major change, but there’s a lot under the hood. Some worthy features include that by default all new windows open in tabs, which I think will give the novice web surfer a new… ➡️

  • "We Built This City" for 24 Hours

    📁

    We Built This City 24 Hours Straight on Vimeo This guy is stuck in a booth in a Best Buy listening to Jefferson Starship’s “We Built This City” (which Blender Magazine voted the worst song ever) for 24 hours. More here at the live blog. This guy has courage. ➡️

  • Google Buys YouTube?

    📁

    It’s official. Out of all of Google’s acquisitions this one makes the least sense to me. Google buying Flickr made sense… but they didn’t do that. Google buying Keyhole and turning it into Google Earth made sense. But why YouTube, when they already have Google Video. I assume it’s for the revenue it will make… ➡️

  • Google Updates

    📁

    Check out Google Notebook The new version of Google Reader (as Google put it “your inbox for the web”) And Google Talk is open to anyone now (so has GMail as long as you used your cell phone number) . I suggest you at least try it. My new years resolution is to stop using… ➡️

  • Copyright and Creative Commons

    📁

    So, recently I’m noticing a deterioration in observing copyright law, or even attribution to be more specific. Copyright law is definitely going to be rewritten in our lifetime (for worse, not better) . The digital revolution of effortlessly reproducing content is driving this need to rewrite it. I’m not really talking about downloading music here.… ➡️

  • How To Make A Dry Ice Bomb Love

    📁

    Making dry ice bombs is something that me and my partner in crime Mr. Mark Zimmerman have always been known for. We were featured on Boing Boing back in June. I normally read that blog through Google Reader and I saw a picture of Mark and when I realized the blog I was reading I… ➡️

  • Wii Release Date And Price

    📁

    The Nintendo Wii will be released on November 19 for the price $250. It will be bundled with a copy of Wii Sports. Games will cost the same as new Gamecube games ($50). Virtual console games will be around $5-$10. There you have it. Nothing too surprising here. It’s just good to have a date.Commence… ➡️

  • Geotagging On Flickr

    📁

    Flickr just recently added geotagging to photos with a real easy drag and drop method. This kind of shows you it’s not just a passing fad. The ability to show exactly where you took a picture, along with when you took it is just another step in providing accurate data about what we do. I… ➡️

  • Pluto And Friends

    📁

    Astronomers from around the world are going to define what makes a planet, a planet. If Pluto makes the cut, we’ll have 3 new planets added to our Solar System. I think this is much more optimistic way of viewing the solar system rather than people squabbling over Pluto. “The IAU proposal says that a… ➡️
