Someone once asked me, “Why do we bother driving hybrids?” My answer today would be, “So we don’t have to feel so guilty about enjoying this guy offset all the gas savings over the last 10 years in 10 seconds.” See the full story at WIRED.
Music Spotlight: The Dirty Guv'nahs
For anyone who is interested the hard-hitting variety of rock, I am personally recommending this band: The Dirty Guv’nahs. I first heard about them when a friend of mine recommended them to me on Facebook. Excellent band. Don’t believe me? Then take a listen for yourself:
Now Featuring RPX Authentication!
So, I came across an excellent gem of a WordPress Plugin today. It’s called RPX. I discovered it in the course of trying to get my OpenID authentication to work (with no luck). The OpenID plugin seems to be jacked up, but NOW I have RPX that is pure awesomeness because people can now authenticate [...]
Music Spotlight: If It Ain't Broke…

With the help of a soldering iron, he was the first to unlock the iPhone, delivering the handset to international networks before Apple had a chance to. He got [...]
Apple Tablet?

[...] If the rumors are true, the tablet will [...]
Entertaining Professors are Awesome
For anyone else wondering why you go to grad school, I asked a question in my Computer Architecture class today and got this as an answer: “We’re not concerned with that, because you’re an undergrad. You’re here to learn the stuff we do know. What you don’t realize is that we don’t know what we’re [...]
