  • Microcontroller Madness…..

    Not sure if this madness will be the next big thing for the Demo Scene, but it sure is nice to see some the younger generation using their talents to come up with these circuits. In the old days — yeah I’m gonna date myself now — I used to do Demo programming on the…

  • Searchme: Visual Search Rocks!!!

    Just came across Searchme: today (thanks to Leo Laporte). It is to search engines what OSX is to GUI’s. It uses flash for interface design and it’s absolutely beautiful (and functional). It’s great to finally be able to “SEE” your search results before leaving the search site. I know there are several “preview” extensions out…

  • Dew Drops….

    Yeah it rained pretty heavily this morning and I’m a sucker for Droplets…..

  • Kraak and Smaak’s visual flipbook feast

    This brand new Kraak and Smaak video is just too cool. Makes me want to do some flipbooking of my own. Great visuals and well fantastic music to boot…..enjoy :-).

  • Pictomio….Image Viewer with class

    I don’t do this often, but this program actually proves that with a little bit of extra UI work, windows programs can look as good (if not better) than their OSX counter parts. Pictomio — which is a free btw — is a software application for managing, categorizing, searching, and archiving photos and other media…

  • Drobo 2.0 is out…..

    Yeeaaaa, wait long enough and the 2.0 version will give you atleast half of the features you’re looking for. I always thought that Drobo was a great device but I refused to buy one since it was only USB2.0 device. Well, that was yesterday, today Drobo announced the availability of the same great Drobo features,…
