Meet The Bullet. Two Bullets and a pair of cheap antennas is enough to extend a line-of-sight WiFi connection up to 3 miles (or more). The Bullet is only $39, and an antenna’s $55. I can’t think of any time I would ever need to use this personally, but it’s cool!
CFLs are mostly wonderful. They have a few huge problems, but for the most part they’re a good replacement for incandescents. Most people don’t like CFLs because of the blueish light they often produce. I agree, that really sucks! But it doesn’t have to be that way. Manufacturers use terms like “cool white,” “soft white,”…
Tammy will be going out tonight with her girlfriends so we won’t be able to watch the final episode of Battlestar Galactica until tomorrow. This is killing me. Spoilers will be everywhere, so starting at 6pm tonight I’m going on a full media blackout – no Internet usage or watching of live television for 24…
When I first read about the upcoming Battlestar Galactica panel discussion at the United Nations, I thought it was a joke. But no, it really happened. Last night. Whoopi Goldberg was the moderator.

Today’s the day when Peggle hits Xbox Live Arcade. It’s a mere $10 and is the first version of Peggle to include online multiplayer. Be sure to read The Making of Peggle for the story behind PopCap’s most profitable hit, and check out the strategy guide if you’re a Peggle noob.
RadioReference got a facelift recently. It looks nice! RR’s frequency database has basically become the Wikipedia of regional frequency listings over the last year or so. It’s a great starting point if you’ve got a scanner and have no idea what to do with it!
Yesterday when I was at work Tammy taught Kate a new trick. She now gives KISSES and they are the BEST. All you have to do is say “Can I have a kiss?” and she’ll walk over to you and push her lips up to your lips and hold it there for about two seconds….
