I have been reading my feeds tonight and every site is all about that number. You know, the one that allows you to crack the copy protecting in HD-DVDs. Crazy, this is going to be bigger than “All your base is belong to us“.

It’s crazy how much of an uproar this number is causing:

Awesome myspace page.

My NAS server died yesterday. I was running FreeNAS on an old PC. It had been running fine no problem for a couple of years probably now. Yesterday something happened. It wont boot now and I can’t get anything of the drives. It’s not that big of deal since the files were mostly just backups. I am thinking about getting a hardware NAS box to replace it. I have found a few that are reasonably priced, expandable, and can serve as a printer server. I probably don’t have geeky enough readers that would have any suggestions, but I am open to them if anybody as them.

Awesome Ping Pong Match – It wasn’t a serious match, but still a lot of mad Ping Pong skills going on there.

The Ask a Ninja Ninja on Mythbusters – The Ninja didn’t wasn’t on the TV show, but was in this online segment.

Make a Wallet out of paper – Cool, but if you have to resort to making a paper wallet you probably don’t need one anyways.

Apple in talks to bring lyrics to iTunes – I am a neat freak. One of the things that bugs me is the mess the lyrics to my songs on my iPod are it. I have ran software that puts the lyrics in, but they are never 100% accurate, and they never have all the songs. Having iTunes do it like it currently does with the album art would totally be awesome.

Jack Valenti dead at 85 – Is it wrong that I don’t feel bad about this?

Today was cleaning day. I unhooked everything from my home network, dusted everything off, and set it up again.

Since I had everything apart, I thought I would put two monitors side-by-side and try our synergy. Synergy rocks. I don’t know what took me so long to try it. I now have my Windows and Macs right next to each other. It’s pretty sweet to switch computers by simply moving the mouse. Now my KVM switch will only be used for switching to my Linux box. Here is what my setup looks like now.


Yeah, I just got old CRT monitors. I need to upgrade to LCDs, but I am cheap and my CRTs are working just fine.

Available emblems of belief for US govt headstones – Who knew I could have my Atheist symbol on a goverment headstone?

Bill O’Reilly interviews Richard Dawkins – I was looking forward to this interview.

Cool watch – It would be even cooler if you were able to read it.

50 things to do with Google Maps – Who knew you could do so much?

2006 YoYo Champion – Crazy!

Chris Pirillo is doing some awesome stuff. At least it is awesome for geeks like me. He even mentioned my name in the chat.

So this weekend we rented Tetris Evolution. I have never been a big Tetris fan, but I really liked this version. I think I like it mostly because you are not playing for nothing, you are playing for gamer points. I played a few games and got 50 gammer points. I tried to get more, but sadly we had to return the game. I thing I am going to buy it. It’s only $27 new, so I am sure I will find a good deal on eBay.

Spectacular Desktop Wallpapers – I can never find any good desktop wallpapers. This site has some really cool ones.

Amazing Cakes – These cakes look to incredible to eat.

iPod Hammock – This thing looks cool. You could use it for any electronic device that needs charging and use any weirdly placed outlet.

Peinis Owner’s Manual – Funny, but informational.

mypetpeeves.com – A site that tracks people’s pet peeves. I think I have all of them.

Wow this weekend went fast. It was kind of wet and rainy all weekend, so I spent most of the weekend online. I discovered even a bigger time waster that Twitter, Ustream. Chris Pirillo has Ustream camera set up 24/7. I watched him a few time. Over the weekend he was broadcasting Leo’s radio show. It was cool to watch leo work. After the radio show I watched him get set up to record TWiT. Cool stuff.

Last night I got Ustream working with my iSight camera. I am not sure what I am going to do with Ustream, but it makes it simple to put a webcam on a website.
