Look What I Found
Marty McFly: What about all that talk about screwing up future events, the space-time continuum?
Dr. Emmett Brown: Well, I figured, what the hell.
Looks like Apple is doing it. They do make great machines…but if I can run OSX on a standard PC why buy a premium Mac x86? Maybe the only hardware they care about is the iPods…and selling software.
I hope this works out for them.
About a month ago, I started co-hosting a podcast with Chuck Tomasi over at ChuckChat.com. I don’t know why I am just now posting something about it…but I am.
We talk about Tech, geek, and anything in between. In the last few shows, Chuck and I talked about 10 things you can do with your old pc…and I did a Sound Seeing tour of my Midnight experience seeing Revenge of the Sith, and I also had a nice interview with one of the drivers of the Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile.
On this Wednesdays show we are talking about Firefox, and our favorite extensions and tricks. Coming up, in the next few episodes…Wiki’s (not Wookies) and later in June I will be visiting Hero’s Comic Book convention in Charlotte, NC.
Marcus over at Pro-PHP is starting a PHP podcast, and rightfully so. There is always something new or something surrounding PHP so I think that this is a great idea.

Only about 10 hours until I go see the final installment to the Star Wars movies.
Seems like only yesterday that my parents took me to see Star Wars on their anniversary, and I could almost wish hard enough to make a Lightsaber appear out of thin air.
That sucks. I Liked the show, then disliked the show, then Liked it again only to have the black hole ripped out from under me.
It stinks that the show is gone, because the last season was getting really good. This last episode I liked because it took me back a bit with the next gen characters Riker and Troi. I thought it was a nice touch with that and the holodeck and all.
Oh well, Paramount has nobody to blame but thier writers…Season 3 did the show in for a lot of folks.
PVP online has scored another one. This comic sometimes hit the goldmine.
This is a cute and funny look at Star Wars:Revenge of the Sith.
I like the use of the Force by Obi-wan and Anakin, and Yoda in the cantina.
If you missed it Sunday night, the entire thing is posted at Lego’s Site. Definitely check it out.
I found this on two of my favorite sites: The Force.net and HowStuffWorks.com
Howstuffworks “How Lightsabers Work”
Chances are that you have seen a lightsaber at one time or another, whether on the evening news or down at the local cantina. Therefore you know that a lightsaber is an amazing and versatile device that is able to cut through nearly anything in a matter of milliseconds.
If you are a fan of Cartoons and/or Legos you are in for a treat.
The Cartoon Network and Lego have a new movie coming out on May 8th at 7:00pm it is called Star Wars:Revenge of the Brick.
The trailer looks great and I look forward to seeing it.
Consider it an appetizer for the main course on May 19th.
I saw this via Hack-a-day. It is a pinhole camera that you put together and it resembles a real 35mm camera. It was originally printed in a magazine and you follow the instructions and create your camera. I thought that this was a especially worthy hack considering what you can do when you have very little to work with.
Dirkon – The Paper Camera [pinhole.cz]
During the 1970s, magazines published in Communist Czechoslovakia were controlled by the state, like the majority of other enterprises. Very few good magazines were available and were difficult to get hold of, so people would borrow and exchange them when given the opportunity. This also applied to magazines aimed at young people, which was probably one of the reasons why almost everyone from my generation, when we get on to the subject of pinhole cameras, has fond memories of the cut-out paper camera known as Dirkon*, published in 1979 in the magazine ABC mladých techniků a pÅ™ÃÂrodovÄ›dců [An ABC of Young Technicians and Natural Scientists].
