I have an old Powerbook G4 hanging around doing nothing, and I thought I’d try to get Ubuntu going on it. The install was fairly straight forward but unfortunately there were too many things that turned out to be a hassle. I worked out some things, but then decided the hassle wasn’t worth it. I’m […]
Give a guy some time alone, some work to do and a new piece of software to play with and interesting things are bound to happen. I found Gawker yesterday which is a great little OSX app that lets you make time-lapse movies with the built in or external webcam (or both). It also lets […]

If you use it and have problems ping me. 11:18:27 I think trad. retail has already lost to online, but they could at least try to make the hands-on experience competitive…. 11:48:50 Best […]
