MOVIE: HERE A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon the Celtic Folk Podcast. I’ve really loved the music and their other more diverse podcast, Upbeat Radio, is loads of fun too. With music from Keltic Kudzu, The Borderers, The Gobshites, and Coyote Run, I think quite a few of you would have fun...

You are viewing my camera’s final picture. Sadly, this image was taken during the death throws of my HP Photosmart E317’s life. Luckily, the camera was still able to successfully record video. So, I have nice grainy clips,...

My Dream App » News

Trojan poses as Google Toolbar | The Register

You know, every time I see things like the article above, I am happy that I do not use Windows. The amount of sheer vandalism (yes, that is how I see viruses, spyware, and trojans) rampant on the internet is amazing.
