If You Punch The Monkey Again, I'll Kill You!
Posted on July 20th, 2006 by Todd W
Professionally, computers and software are not my job. As a hobby, I go a lot of tinkering, but I am by no means a guru. I consider myself more advanced than the average user, and probably a little ahead of the sophisticated user. I’m certainly not a guy who can tear down the inner workings [...]

My New Ax
Posted on June 26th, 2006 by Todd W
I’ve been using the ‘old’ style Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard for a couple of years now. I liked it so much, I bought two for home and managed to score one here at work. Life was good. Until the discomfort set in yet again. I’ve followed all of the ergo-recommendations: seat height, wrist angle, monitor height [...]

Google: Watching TV With You
Posted on June 9th, 2006 by Todd W
It’s been a busy week for Google posts here. Today we have this. A team from Google Research has developed a prototype system that uses a home computer’s internal microphone to listen to the ambient audio in a room, determine what is being watched on TV and offer web-based supplemental information, services and shopping contextual [...]

The Future Of Graphics
Posted on June 6th, 2006 by Todd W
It’s been a few years since I’ve seriously looked at the state of the art in graphics card technology. My card is way behind, but since the girls arrived, I don’t have too much time to game anyway. Why am I looking again? Just curiousity. It’s good to see Kyle Bennet still over at [H]OCP. [...]

I stumbled over this one a week ago, and I can’t stop playing around with it. Why does Google have all the cool toys?

Plausible?
Posted on June 2nd, 2006 by Todd W
Its hard to comment on this without more information. As bizarre as it may seem, the sample jars brimming with cloudy, reddish rainwater in Godfrey Louis’s laboratory in southern India may hold, well, aliens. In April, Louis, a solid-state physicist at Mahatma Gandhi University, published a paper in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal Astrophysics and Space [...]

Latest Cool Toy

This deserves a post on its own. Netvibes. I keep finding all of these neat little apps, and this is certainly one I’m going to stick with. Assemble your own home page with all of your RSS feeds, email accounts, weather, news, flickr, del.icio.us, your browser bookmarks, and whatever else you might want handy. And [...]

We’re From The Government And We’re Here To Help You
Posted on May 10th, 2006 by Todd W
For the life of me, I can’t understand this. The proposed House legislation, the Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act (COPE), offers no protections for “network neutrality.” Currently, your Internet provider does not voluntarily censor the Web as it enters your home. This levels the playing field between the tiniest blog and the most popular [...]

Nanotube sheets come of age
Posted on August 19th, 2005 by Todd W
Nanotube sheets come of age This is HUGE! Watch the video…you are actually witnessing production of a strip on nanotubes. They aren’t unrolling it…they are MAKING it. UPDATE – I was musing on this some more, and while I don’t know if it is strong enough to make a Space Elevator, I was curious about [...]

Google Desktop Search Download
Posted on August 11th, 2005 by Todd W
Google Desktop Search Download I downloaded this today and let it index my computer. Now I can search the entire drive(s) for anything, just like Google-ing the net. I turned off the reporting options to Google, and I will obviously take the time to check the privacy issues before I get too used to having [...]

Environmentalists and the Shuttle
Posted on July 28th, 2005 by Todd W
Mike’s Noise: NASA grounds the Shuttle indefinitely – but no one wants to talk about the insulation This is interesting… But here is what no one seems to be talking about – the problems with foam peeling and breaking off the main fuel tank are relatively new. In 1997, NASA bent to pressure from environmental [...]
