Don't forget to include BubbleUPnP in the evaluations! While I had/have high expectations for AllCast and it is seeing big frequent updates, BubbleUPnP's recently added Chromecast features are currently doing a better job at interfacing with media to push to the Chromecast. (better UI, transcoding options, DLNA…

Great, comprehensive guide. I like using Speed Racer to test out monitor calibrations.

I read what you wrote in the voice of Werner Herzog.

It also makes me wonder if the discovery of GM's problems had any role in Henry Waxman- the CA politician who led the witch hunt against Toyota, as GM was in the process of rebuilding- to suddenly announce intentions to retire.

Gee, I wonder if they will pursue GM with as much zeal as they did with Toyota? With Toyota it was like a witch hunt, but coverage on this seems a bit more subdued. Why is that?

The tax implications are a very important thing that I think will be more heavily scrutinized by the IRS in the future, regardless of whether it is unearned income reported on a property loss, or some other defaulted financial product... some of the financial instutitions I work with are filing 1099s with much greater…

True, but a little safety prep goes a long way towards providing a fulfilling lifetime of hooning. I jumped my first POS car, a Pontiac Grand Am. It was *almost* disastrous, skirting awesome and terrifying.

This guy will one day be paralyzed, due to a massive spinal compression injury.

I've owned a few WRT150N and WRT160N routers. There are several versions of each out there (v1 - v3, IIRC). On the stock firmware I did have those problems when there were a lot of different devices, each with many connections. To resolve it, I used micro or mini build of DD-WRT firmware.

Ho! Ho! Plebs are needed!

Pffft space exploration. Such an ablist endeavor. Why are most astronauts white, cis, highly educated, and men? How about getting some genderqueer womyn of color up in there? We need some real studies being done, like if feminist spoken word is done in microgravity, is it still weightless? That's right. Check…

If I'm understanding the design correctly, the center channels also create additional sidewalls that can mitigate excessive sidewall flex. In regular SUV tires, the sidewalls can tend to abnormally support too much weight during heavy cornering and when paired with crappy maintenance of tire pressure...can help create…

"I'm about to ask you a question. But before I do that, will you promise to tell the truth?"

LOL Good point. I don't spend much time on random personal blogs; I only find them due to sites like Lifehacker, so they're usually well vetted by the time I find them.

This is amazing news. You're responding to my four year old post, but you might want to check with Bill on what kind of NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) he may be under, and what is allowed. If he is allowed to let people know that a movie based on his story is going to be coming out or that it was simply optioned,…

One of the things many new bloggers don't account for is the importance of search engine optimization and marketing their pieces out to aggregated content sites and broader general interest blogs. They believe that by simply making a blog and starting to write about something, maybe making a few tweets linking to the…
