Just another day...

on the interwebs.

Here I type words, words that you might read or just skim over. There are many more words hidden right under where it says Read More...



Childproof PC... for you or charity.

This article is about building a Childproof PC, that is, a computer that's meant use by children so that they can be spared the horridness that's all over the internet.

The intent of the article is explain how to do this cheaply or free and when you're done, you can donate the machine and feel good about yourself.

Of course, this is also great if you are looking for a way to build a box for your own kids to keep them safe on these scary interwebs.


Bittorrent Box

While we're speaking about building specific computers. Here we have an article that is all about building a box that will run 24 hours a day 7 days a week, serving up all of your downloaded files.

It also goes into detail about how to not only build a headless server, but also set it up so that it will serve your media to you anywhere in the world.


Gay Computer?

I don't get this... but it seems they are not happy with Alan Turing.


More scary future stuff from Google

I've talked about the supposed future of Google before, and of course, I'm not sure whether or not I'm eagerly awaiting the day that we live in the United States of Google, but, until then, it's good to read speculation and conjecture.


Symbaloo

Symbaloo is designed to be a front page for the internet. It's pretty interesting, and fairly well laid out, but after getting digged, the site is very slow, I can't imagine that they were really prepared to be the front page for the entire internet.


Unattractive British Women have a lot of sex..

Tiger Army released their new album!

Tiger Army, one of my favorite bands of all times, finally released their new album, Music from Regions Beyond. While the title is a departure from their previous albums, the music most definitely is not. As a matter of fact, that may be my only problem with it.

I've been waiting until I'd had a chance to really absorb the music to talk about it. That time has come already. I love the album, there's nothing like Nick 13's melodic vocals, and the drive of a stand-up bass. It's psychobilly at its finest.

My only real issue with this album is that they seem to be re-using a lot of their old hooks and bites. There are several tracks that have nearly identical sounds to previous albums.

Otherwise, it's Tiger Army. Tiger Army is great. I strongly recommend it.
