Craigslist Scam

So I was trying to sell my laptop on Craigslist and received an email from a guy named David who “lives” in Waco, Texas and wanted to buy my laptop for his son who was doing work in Africa. The offer was a good one and he even said he’d put in an extra $150 [...]

How I Made $24 In A Virtual World

One year ago today I signed up for a virtual world called Weblo. At the time the site was just getting started and I thought it would be a good time to get in on some deals. The basic premise of the site is that everything in the real world is up for grabs in [...]

Shift Happens

 A friend of mine pointed me to this video and I thought it was too good to pass along. Have a look, it really makes you think.

It’s A Small Web, Afterall

Since I created my my video on how to clean the dust off a DSLR sensor and uploaded it to YouTube five months ago, it has received nearly 16,000 hits. Anyway, I went to check the comments that have been posted in the past little while and I was amazed at what I saw.

What Does RAM Do?

*Ahhhhhhhhh*
That was the sigh of relief I had after adding 2GB more RAM to my computer tonight (now a total of 3GB). Since I started getting more into photography, I’ve been having to use photo editing and cataloging software that just eats through RAM like there’s no tomorrow. I have always had good, fast RAM [...]

Wireless Woes

For the past few weeks my wireless connection has been driving me nuts! About every 15 seconds my connection will drop for about 7 seconds. So, if I’m browsing the net I have to pause and wait for 7 seconds every 15 seconds for a page to load. You can imagine how crazy this was [...]

The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between [...]

However, some people are still a bit confused about how torrents work and how to use them, so I’ve created this post to clear things up. Remember, downloading copyrighted material is illegal; this [...]

Corrosive Comments Part 1: Rap/HipHop Music

You know, sometimes it isn’t the videos on YouTube that I get my kicks from, but the comments below them. Is it weird that I just spent an hour browsing videos to read their comments rather than actually watch videos? Perhaps. However, I can say that it was no less entertaining!
I read a lot [...]
