If You Were Knocked Back Into Medieval Times…

While reading Reddit yesterday I came across a rather interesting question.  “If you were knocked back into Medieval times, what technology could/would you invent, keeping in mind the available materials?”
This question got me thinking and after going over some of the responses, and, for some reason I was also watching an episode of Little House [...]

AT&T Pre-Paid and Post Paid Internet Usage Cap

Most of you are probably not aware that AT&T, as well as some other mobile carriers, place a cap on your internet usage.  Anything over 5GB of use is considered excessive and, while your service will not be terminated immediately, you will receive a warning.  After which, your service is subject to termination if you [...]

Back Surgery

As some of you know, I will be undergoing back surgery tomorrow to relieve pain caused by a herniated disk.  In less than an hour my brother will drive me to the hospital to be admitted and at 6AM or so, they will take me to the operating room for the surgery.  Up until this [...]

The Curse Of The QWERTY Keyboard

I found a rather interesting article explaining the problems that the QWERTY keyboard has and its shortcomings.  The article also explains where the QWERTY came from and why we stick to it instead of going to the more practical Dvorak design, which, apparently, is designed with speed and ease in mind.  The article takes into [...]

Uber Geek Collectible

While surfing around this morning I discovered possibly the most geekiest mini-fridge on the face of the planet.  Apparently, this item was a give away from a 7-11 contest celebrating the release of Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones.  Rumor has it that there were only 1000 of these made, which makes it a rare [...]

iPhone International Data Plans

As of yeasterday, AT&T offers international data plans for the Apple iPhone.  Pricing is a bit steep at $119.99 for 100mb and $199.99 for the 200mb plan.  Go over your alloted usage and you face a rather steep overage charge at about $10 for each MB you go over.
My suggestion is use your WiFi to [...]

Time Travel Fund: Pay Now and Travel To The Future… Ummm… Someday

You can buy a star or buy a plot on the moon (Neither of these are legal by the way), but did you know you can deposit $10 and, when time travel is perfected, be retrieved moments before your death and taken to the future?
That’s exactly what the Time Travel Fund promises.  Deposit $10 and [...]

10 Unique Computer Cases

As most of you who read my ramblings know, I enjoy finding odd and unique items on the web.  Some of these things are functional, some are fun and some are simply, well, just plain weird.
Computers have become indispensable in most homes today, but they all look pretty much the same.  These case mods prove [...]

Numbers Your Cell Phone Should Have Stored

Everyone has a cell phone now a days, from the 5 year old kid to the 95 year old grand dad.  As a Tech rep for AT&T Mobility I get allot of weird calls, some more strange than others.  Yesterday I received a call from a rather frantic mother needing the number to the poison [...]
