Handiest of Handy Tools
This little screwdriver set is the best one I have ever had. Seriously. I needed to dissect a dead harddrive and needed a star shaped screwdriver. I could have gotten a just a set of those (for more money) but grabbed this set instead even though I already had the flat and the cross heads.…

Scribbled Notes
I found a note to myself in the bottom of my backpack. Must have been important at the time of writing it and saving it in my bag, but for the life of me I cannot figure out why. And boy is my handwriting atrocious! This is the note (should I ever need to refer…

Stay Away From Fields Data Recovery
Two months ago I had one of the worst things happen. A failed hard drive. One that contained my entire music collection and photos from the past 15 years. All gone. I searched the web for data recovery services and happened to do the online estimate at Field Data Recovery. I was called by them…

Protect Your Kids on the Net
Viruses aren’t the only dangers on the internet these days. If you let your kids use the computer, you not only need to worry about what their seeing and what sites they are visiting, but also online predators and bullies. So what is a parent to do, especially when most parents can’t do much more…

Deadly Fight with PC Virus
A little while back I wound up with a really nasty virus on my computer. I was not only afraid my new laptop would crash and burn on me, but also that my personal information and credit cards were all open to any hacker who wanted them. My PC is protected by anti-virus software that…

Phishing Attacks on Facebook and Twitter
Facebook is the new playground for phishers. Why? The social networking site has made things relatively easy for computer criminals. So far, the consequences have been relatively mild — mostly, some annoying emails. But if facebook and other social networking sites don’t get a handle on security issues soon, a serious outbreak could occur. Behind…

I Hate Browser Incompatibility
It started out earlier today when my IE6 (I haven’t moved to 7 at work yet as I hate it at home so I tried to keep work from being faced with the same idiotic browsing issues I have here at home) when I got this weird error that the site I was working on…

Klingon Keyboard for the Diehard Klingon Fan
Perhaps if you dress as a Klingon and speak the language at conventions this gadget might be for you. Then again if you are a hunt and peck typist, like myself, you might not want to go there. But if the Klingon dictionary alone is not good enough for you, you’ll want to get yourself…

New Microsoft Products Suck
I was just reviewing my website stats and it looks like 70% of the people are still using Windows XP instead of Windows Vista. Could it be Vista sucks? Vista is pretty much the updated crap of Windows ME. Remeber ME? Yeah well, don’t feel bad not too many people do except those poor folk…

I Want It Wednesday: Laser Keyboard
Now here is a bit of technology any sci-fi geek would think stepped off the screen of the latest Terminator movie, (you do know Christian (Batman) Bale has signed to do 3 Terminator movies don’t you?) This cool device shines a red laser keyboard on any flat surface. As they say over at ThinkGeek.com, the…

I Want It Wednesday: OLED Keyboard
I think this could be considered the world’s most expensive keyboard probably only surpassed by keyboards on the space shuttle (or others purchased by the US government as they tend to over pay). Each key has its own OLED screen so you can customize it to your hearts content and at 1500 bucks it should…
