One thing thats always fascinated me in the technology world - beyond computers, obviously - is spy gadgets. Pinhole cameras, pen microphones, bugs, microphones, etc. There’s not much cooler than feeling like a CIA or FBI agent.
You know what sucks? When you’re in a movie theatre and some guys cell phone goes off. And he [...]

I recently came across an interesting blog, by the name of TechSlant. While the writing at TechSlant isn’t outstanding, the ideas and concepts they’re putting forth are quite interesting, covering topics from politics to Open ID to music downloads.
TechSlants most recent articles talks about politics. I know, ‘ho-hum, another politics blog’, but this isn’t just [...]

While I realize this is far from my standard post format, I today discovered a website, and indeed a field of study that is quite fascinating. X-Ray Detectors in Structural Biology. While when most people, or at least when I think of X-Rays, I think of broken bones and things of that sort, most of [...]

Most of the websites I look at on this site are technology websites, but sometimes there’s a page or products thats interesting enough that I want to feature it, even if it isn’t directly related to technology.

If you end up creating an online business, and its doing fairly well, there’s a good chance you’re going to have employees in various geographical locations. Be they outsourced tech support or simply a sales rep at a conference, you’ll need to communicate with people hundreds, if not thousands of miles away from you. You’re [...]

While this might seem a tad apropos coming from a devoted diyer, there are some people for whom building a computer just isn’t feasible. Of course, the best option is to build a computer for those people, but some just want it done for them by a big name retailer. Like Dell. Unfortunately, many of [...]
