Here is a compilation of FOX’s attacks on Obama so far. Imagine how bad the attacks will be one we’re actually close to election time. Catch the full FOX story about Obama’s “dirty little secret” here.

I was just reading the Globe and Mail and came across an article about an elderly man in the US who killed his wife and two disabled adult children before committing suicide. Why did he do it? Because, “he didn’t want the family to be a burden.” Richard Brown (81 years old) and his wife [...]

Gore and the Environment are hot topics tonight at the Oscars. To top it all off, the documentary An Inconvenient Truth took home the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. Gore reminded us in his speech that all we need to solve the climate crisis is political will, which is a renewable resource. Go Gore; you [...]

After this Leo asked Gore if he wanted to take this opportunity to say anything important. Gore’s response: “My fellow American’s, I would like to take [...]

One of the most annoying things for cellphone owners is having to change their phone number when they switch to a new carrier. Most of us have had to do it and then spend the next couple months making sure everyone has the new number. Well, fear no more! Wireless Number Portability (WNP) is finally [...]

I brought the Wii to my house this weekend and it’s wireless connection seems to be messing up my internet connection. I think its a problem with my router. Anyway, this is why the site has been up and down over the past couple days. I’ve disconnected the Wii until I figure out what’s wrong, [...]

It’s very strange that just hours after writing about ASIMO and potential ethical issues with humanoids I came across an article explaining a European project that hopes to make robots emotionally responsive.
According to the BBC, the project (called Feelix Growing) involves six European countries and 25 roboticists, developmental psychologists, and neurologists. They hope to build [...]

ASIMO is Honda’s humanoid robot that has been in development for about 7 years now (although previous prototypes started in 1986). I’m sure most of you have seen it, but I just had to write a post about this little guy (or girl, it hasn’t been given a gender yet). I’ve been watching its development [...]

So I’m driving around town (London) doing some errands and I am totally perplexed as to why I’m seeing so many sidewalk plows sprinkling dirt along the sidewalks when there is not a sign of snow or ice on them! It’s a bright and sunny day and the concrete is free of everything that may [...]

Okay, so YouTube is alive again and I have uploaded PBriscoe.com’s first video tutorial. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to use RSS or “Really Simple Syndication.” It’s a great way to view content from the many sites you visit on a day-to-day basis in one place.

As many of you have probably noticed, YouTube is on hiatus. Their website claims that they are creating some new goods for the site. It looks like things may be taking a little longer than expected. I visited the video host last night and was greeted with this nerdy chemist. Since it was late, I [...]

If deciding whether to go with XM or Sirius was the only thing stopping you from getting satellite radio, you no longer have any excuses; they have merged. On the other hand, if it’s the $15+ per month that’s holding you back, join the club. Personally, I don’t think satellite radio is worth another monthly [...]
