Monday, November 8th, 2010Google Instant makes search faster by displaying not just predictions but actual search results as you type.

Thursday, November 4th, 2010It is very rare that I use the title of the project as the title of the post, but this one is just too magically perfect not to do that.

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010You know when you’re crawling around the backcountry in a pile of leaves and excrement, inching closer and closer to the flock of quails that you’ll soon be calling dinner.

Power Line-up
Monday, August 16th, 2010Spike-busters and power strips usually sport their set number of sockets regardless the shape of the plugs to be used.
