  • Everyone DOS now…..It’s like getting fries with every burger

    Okay so I’m sitting in our Digital Cinema Lab listening to some 80’s tunes, getting ready for the big Demo for the GLIF conference on tuesday and here comes this commercial over the interweb……man those were the days :-).

  • QNX RTOS is now Open Source….

    Here is some fantastic news for all you embedded developers. QNX OS is now open source. For those who don’t know QNX is a commercial POSIX-compliant Unix-like real-time operating system, aimed primarily at the embedded systems market. As a microkernel-based OS, QNX is based on the idea of running most of the OS in the…

  • Make your browser faster (safer) with OpenDNS

    Okay, so this worked for me. I don’t promise that it will do the same for you. Let me explain, my ISP (who shall remain nameless) is very good (good uptime, unlimited, good throughput), but for some reason has horrible DNS servers. I normally try not to use their servers and instead use either my…

  • Computer Monitor Calibration….online!!!

    I came across these two sites last friday while trying to setup a projector. If you’re stuck in the field and need to get a monitor/projector calibrated fairly quick these two sites are for you.

Now don’t go crazy trying to find out the link. It’s not live yet and this image is pretty much all that seems…

  • Jott rocks!!!

You all know that you can send email to certain blogging services and services like twitter (you can also txt twitter) with new content and/or comments. But can you…

  • Chroma-Key on the cheap…..

    Take this with a grain of salt (maybe a rather large grain), but this soon to be released product (September 25th) might be a goodway to introduce kids (and adults) to green screen concepts for cheap. It even comes with a “Tripod”….Ooooohhhhh……Triipoooddd :-)

  • Silverlight is here….MS joins the 21 Century?

    Today Microsoft finally released their flash competitor, Silverlight. I have to admit that they actually have a catchy name, but that’s not really why you’re reading this….right? I downloaded and installed the app on my MBP and it installed flawlessly under OSX 10.4.10. So far so good, next I restarted safari and visited the silverlight…
