I pretty much ignored this movie when it hit theaters, then kept hearing really good things about it from word or mouth. I ended up borrowing a copy from a friend and watching it and knowing very little going into it I really enjoyed it for the most part.

Be careful with promotions, you often end up salaried and lose all overtime potential and then they “work” you to death.

I was once told that the movie studios often have contracts for these kinds of movies saying they have to make one every “X” number of years or the license reverts back to the owner. So if there is such a thing why can’t they also have a stipulation that says something like you make 3 box office/critical flops in a…

Classic Microsoft, I can only hope they try to bring back “Live! for windows” again in yet another hollow bid to try and woo pc gamers while destroying all the great things about PC gaming. Hey, who wants to pay an annual fee for the right to play multiplayer games on their PC? Microsoft’s history of trying to wedge…

I’m actually okay with his future Boom Box... I wonder how good he is at break dancing?

I like the general idea, but since this would be in my office I’m thinking whiteboard front instead, and maybe a small half height book shelf below it to help hide the power and ethernet cables. Besides that, not a half bad idea.

Don’t waste their brain! That’s how you gain their knowledge and also the horrific effects of Kuru

Why was my first thought after reading this, “was the student homeschooled?”.

A few years back I went on a gaming nostalgia kick and loaded up some emulators for the Atari 2600, NES, SNES and Gameboy and bought a couple of nice gamepads. A lot of the games I remember loving as a kid were pretty horrible, but there were a few surprises in there too. RC Pro-AM still pretty fun to play, so was…

My solution to this problem was simple, be too poor to afford a home. I live in a dumpy apartment building that smells like a really old smoking room at a Motel 6.

Pretty sure he just drowned a Roomba.

Seriously F**k these PoS all natural snake oil vendors.

After building my own 3D printer I’m pretty certain we’re already living in the future and it’s only going to get more futurey from here.

Reprap Prusa i3 design.

Not quite fully remote control, but someone converted an old sphero remote ball and added magnets to get a similar effect.

I might be weird, but very, very hot tea has always worked if I managed to eat a bit more wasabi on my sushi then I expected. I was once told it's because the oils can't coagulate on your tongue and are washed down with the hot tea. It's also entirely possible I've been tricked by the placebo effect and suggestion.

Honest question, there are subtitle services out there for movies where you can import the subtitles into movies on a computer via encoders like handbreak or using a video player like VLC. So I wondered if there was a similar service for descriptive audio. I tried doing a quick google search, but do not know the…

SHhhhhhhhhhhhh Come on everyone, the first rule of usenet is.........

Still plodding along on an 8x8x8 LED Cube (look it up on youtube for examples). I have the structure and LED's built and am in the process of figuring out how to make it a bit more interactive with music by adding a MSGEQ7 chip and high quality microphone to make it reactive to certain frequencies with music. It took…

I've got Steam set up on my HTPC in the living room and 4 old wireless Xbox360 controllers connected to it. I really wish there was a way similar to the consoles where a friend playing could log in as a guest with their account so while playing "couch co-op" games they get achievements and have access to their saves…

Yeah, I kinda wish my microwave had an internet connection and a bar code reader. Just swipe the product and it sets the time automatically according to the website’s database. Arduino people, you have a new goal!
