With the end of year upon us, it is good to see Lifehacker doing a review of good things for Firefox in 2010. Head over and give it a read. I use Adblocker mainly as an additional security measure (yes, I have Google Ads on this blog) and this list escaped my notice. Right now [...]

I don’t get home 3D
One of the nice things about shopping at Costco (aside from the discounted prices) is that they sometimes have product demos. Sony had set up a pair of LCD shutter glasses for a 3D demo with a good big screen and a supported Sony Blu-ray player. You can read about a similar setup at one [...]
Power to the People! 3D for Everyone!
Okay, that’s over the top but for less that $4.00 I get to try out NVIDIA 3D video game effects. I have a GTX-260 in my Windows 7 game machine Home Workstation and wanted to play around with the 3D capabilities. NVIDIA does sell a nice LCD shutter kit for around $200 but I had [...]
Trying Firefox 4 beta again
Recently I gave Firefox 4 beta 4 a try but ended up removing it. As a beta it was not bad but I had some minor problems with Adobe Flash and the benefits were not enough to get me to keep it. Firefox 4 beta 7 is another story. On a whim I installed it [...]
My son is a huge train buff
Ever since my son got his first Thomas the Tank Engine, he has been preoccupied with anything train related. I saw this video on Gothamist and wanted to share it here. I know he’ll appreciate this video.
Completed the MG Zaku II MS-06J “White Ogre”
I’m beginning to believe that the regular decals that come with the MG Zaku II’s are just advertising for the water slide version. The decals are okay, but they are tiny. Next up: I’m going to detail and apply water slide decals to my MG Gouf v2.0.
It’s the goofy user avatars that threw me off
My participation in the WordPress support forums was never overly ambitious. I would generally aim for questions that I could either respond to quickly or I had the time for. But for the last few months I have been refraining from picking up threads. Mostly because the questions fall under these categories: Something broke please [...]
Awesome Transformers video
Saw this on Boing Boing. Just amazing what this guy did using a Canon 550D w/18-55mm kit lens and 50mm f/1.8 as as well as a Nikon D5000 w/18-55mm kit lens. You can see the video in HD at the Vimeo page.
Explosions for SCIENCE!
I should consider buying stock in the Discovery Channel. Not all their shows are hits, but they sure know the formula. They continue to create entertainment that me and the kids like to watch together. Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy fame is getting his own show. The patented Adam Savage “Oh My Gosh! ™” look [...]
dd-wrt to the rescue (again)!
My Netgear WNR834B v2 has been showing it’s age and giving me grief lately. After a few hours of network usage, my Netgear would suddenly start rebooting itself and keep doing that every few minutes. The only thing that would bring it back to life would be to pull the plug, wait a few seconds, [...]
