These are some amazing drawings from an awesome artist

I came across this amazing artists site, she calls herself Sketchy Sam, and she does some of the most amazing drawings I have ever seen. I don’t even need to write much, as her work completely speaks for herself. I found some contact information for her, so if you ever wanted an awesome Christmas or [...]

Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote

Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement [...]

Don’t you just hate junk mail?

Do you hate junk mail, not junk email, but actual physical junk mail in your mailbox at home? I know I do! I found this site a few days ago and I am REALLY impressed. You know that phone number you can call and get your phone number removed from telemarketers calling lists? Well, this is [...]

Did you know that you can have GPS for your Palm Treo?

I didn’t know it until about a year after getting my Treo and I felt like a total idiot. I have always wanted a GPS and had no idea that a phone could even begin to fill the need that I didn’t know was there, haha. I figured it out when I was in Austin visiting [...]

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (LIVE)

In my opinion, this is one of the greatest music covers ever done in history. It was done by Leonard Cohen originally, but Jeff Buckley plays this version and it is KICKASS! If you like it, be sure and grab the whole album, you won’t be disappointed. Jeff Buckley - Grace (Amazon.com)

I was sent a Logitech Harmony One

So, I have wasted money on previous Logitech remotes, so when BzzAgent sent me a brand new Logitech Harmony One (for free) I was excited but at the same time weary. Their software to program the remote was previously unreliable and very confusing, you HAVE to have an internet connection to even run the damn [...]

Check out this Lenovo laptop, one of the best I have seen!

This thing really rocks, it is the Lenovo IdeaPad U110. I have never given Lenovo much notice until I saw this bad boy! It is totally lightweight, it has amazing screen resolution that is totally crisp and here is the kicker, it ships with TWO BATTERIES. The specs are just as nice as the outside. It comes [...]

Laptop Etching, ever heard of it?

I hadn’t either til I saw this, but man it is totally KICKASS! They take an already existing mac laptop and etch artwork into the top of it. I saw a couple of designs, but this one really stood out as being the best.
