The Jaguar X Type pictured at right was put up for auction as a salvage vehicle this past month. The posting from the auction tells the tale of a good samaritan whose efforts went quite vigorously punished. You gotta feel for the guy. I can only imagine the scene as he jumped [...]
Jeff Han, in the NYU Department of Computer Science has a wonderfully enticing video of a multiple-touch sensor built using the bidirectional capabilities of an array of LEDs. The video is enchanting and worth repeated viewing. The mind boggles at the possibilities. Tragically the minimalist presentation leaves us wondering as to many [...]
Here we have a wonderful example of why you don’t run a general purpose OS in an embedded environment. Adam Gaffin was visiting New York and came across the world’s largest windows error message when he was visiting the famous Times Square.
…across the square, I saw it: the world’s largest Windows error message – [...]
This is an awesome story of how Stefan Eriksson’s Ferrari was torn in half by a utility pole while he was “just a passenger” (who happened to have a BAC of 0.09). The tragedy truly is the loss of a beautiful Enzo.
Eriksson said he was a passenger in the Ferrari, which he said [...]
I’ve finally got my multi-head setup back. I went from a triple 21″@1600×1200 plus a single 1920×1200 to merely three 1920×1200 flat panel displays. It took a ton of doing and nearly eight weeks of effort, but I now have two nvidia 7800 GT boards driving two Apple 23 inch cinema displays plus [...]

Free Online Graph Paper / Grid Paper PDFs —
This is a brilliant web site which contains PDF generators for a large number of different types of graph paper. I may never buy graph paper again.

When it comes to my efforts to build an AMD based system, I’m pretty much back where I started.
Here’s what I can reliably reproduce on my A8N-SLI:
Using a stick of ancient DDR ram (from a ca. 2003 box) IF I clear CMOS and cold-boot, bypassing bios setup (bios defaults loaded, F1 to continue), I can [...]
Finally giving up on my video upgrade woes, I decided that they only way to drive my three flat panels is a new video card that uses the PCIx slot format. Alas, this means a new motherboard. New motherboard means new CPU/RAM/Power Supply, and at that point, you’re only a couple bucks from [...]
