Robin Williams is a Geek

CAUTION! ADULT LANGUAGE

Here is also a great story of Robin improvising, like he always does, at a TED (Technology, Enterntainment and Design) conference in Monterey, California. I'm sure a video clip will show up soon. Let's hope so!

Put Galaga on Your Desk

Arcade paper crafts

Get a little bored why not create a quick paper craft of Galaga. Quick to put together and a great time waster to get your mind off things.

Test Your Web Design with Browsershots

nobody@vox.com(northerngeek) — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 13:32:07 -0600

This is for all you web designers out there who are curious to see what their website would look like in different browsers. Browsershots.org does just that, all you have to do is key in the website address to test, choose up to 53 different browsers (and yes you can test more than one at a time) then hit submit. What you get in the end are screenshots of the website and the chosen browsers. I choose to test about 40 or so and the entire process took about an hour. Worth the wait considering it's free!

Fan of Diggnation?

Diggnation

Are you a fan of Diggnation? They have fans in St. Louis that's for sure. I do like the show, but I must admit I'm not a crazy, nut job fan. Afterall, they just talk about the top Dugg stories on Digg.

Convert HD-DVD to Blu-Ray

Blu-ray_HD_DVD

The war is over so let the headaches begin! You just updated your entire collection of Adam Sandler movies to HD-DVD, now their out dated. Figures. Thank you technology! Went down like the Betamax. There is a fix to get those HD-DVD's translated to Blu-Ray, but what a pain in the butt it is. The folks over at Wired posted some great instructions, but you may need to buy a whole new PC. Things you'll need:

A Windows machine with a fast processor
An HD-DVD drive
A Blu-Ray burner
30GB of free disk space, at least, though 40GB or more is recommended (holy crap)
An internet connection to download all the software you need

Get the full instructions here.

I am so glad I waited for the stupid little war to end, now I can just go right to Blu-Ray.

I don't know why but something tells me that the guys over at Playstation are peeing in their pants with glee.

Create your very own MacBook Air, well out of paper anyway. Just something to do when you get bored and it would look cool on your desk. Ok, maybe not. Click here to download the PDF file and print it out.
