Are you a Gmail advocate? There are a number of us out there, and even though the ubiquitous ‘BETA’ moniker refuses to get taken down, it’s pretty much a polished product. If you’d like to be able to fly through your inbox using shortcuts and impress all of your friends (all 2 of them who […]

You know, people complain about education in America sometimes … and maybe all the criticisms aren’t unfounded. But when people see how other less-fortunate areas of the world teach their children, it becomes easy to appreciate any shortcomings our current systems may have. For example, just try and learning your ABC’s in a cave. It’s […]

Four Hour Work Week may have found a novel way to skip through the lines at the airport, get onto your plane faster, and get a more professional screening experience. Lose your ID. That’s the key to getting tagged for extra security and getting past the normal cattle chute screening. So long as it saves […]

My greatest dream is to work in my pajamas. Of course this is the dream of most bloggers out there. Sitting at home in a muumuu, drinking green tea with Deadliest Catch on the tube and pounding away on the keyboard. Some folks make it a reality when they toss the rat race to the […]

It’s Thursday. You’ve been waiting patiently for the past three days for the end of the week to come, and now you’ve almost made it. The end is in sight! Why do we have to work? you ask yourself. In fact, you ask yourself constantly. Well, I am guessing that the people with the jobs […]

I have no idea what I had for lunch yesterday. It might have been a Krystal burger. I can’t remember. I also have no idea where I put my wallet or keys. Last week I found the keys in the refrigerator and my wallet was on the stairs. That’s why I need Chester Santos as […]

I really admire the effort it had to take to construct a microswitch keyboard from scratch, but at the same time you have to ask yourself, “Why?”  I mean, I have at least 5 keyboards just laying around my house not hooked to anything.  Granted, they’re not trying to be ergonomic like this DIY keyboard […]

Two vivid images immediately come to mind when the word dirigible is thrown out in conversation – the blue and yellow Goodyear blimp flying over sporting events and the blazing crash of the Hindenburg.
