Living in an apartment I know that I am often lazy when it comes to my cables. I can’t rip out walls or tear up the carpets to run speaker and Ethernet wires too and fro.

Trekkies, or Trekkers – I’m not quite certain of the difference here. Do the different factions battle it out with dramatic music playing? Seriously, I’ve heard both terms on numerous occasions and cannot weed out the truth of what each means. In any case, geeks by whatever name may be losing the annual Star Trek convention they’ve come to know and love for the past decade. ... read more |

I remember being in school and all the talk about Hubble was that it was kind of …lame. It always felt like the project was being derided by critics far more than it got praise. But then Hubble would produce some spectacular photos of the universe. No matter how good of a digital camera you may have, there’s just no way you can compare with Hubble. ... read more |
