Check out this nifty little GreaseMonkey script I put together: Navigation Top and Bottom. Feel free to suggest other buttons!

Lifehacker has an interesting video about taking pics of outdoor Christmas lights.

Birthday parties for other people (especially kids) are always filled with a thousand picture-worthy moments. Digital-Photography-School.com has put together a great lesson on just that topic. Tip #12: Shoot in Burst Mode is probably my favorite. I take pictures like Stephen Spielberg makes movies: take enough of them and you're bound to get a few good ones.

The label on Aquafina water bottles will soon be changed to spell out that the drink comes from the same source as tap water, the brand's owner PepsiCo said Friday.

If you capture screenshots of web pages often and don't want to go through the whole Alt-PrntScrn, Open Paint, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+S routine, the Page Saver Firefox extension's for you.

Page Saver's got lots of configurable options, too, like the default filename for the image (with date variables for time-sensitive grabs), customizable keyboard shortcuts and a choice of PNG or JPEG file output format.

So virtually every Sci-Fi ever made has either killer robots or killer bugs. It was only a matter of time until our Sci-Fi nightmares came true.

When the robots rise, they'll likely come in the form of giant, goose-stepping cockroaches. Don't believe us? Just check the 32-inch, 44-pound Halluc II which features the ability to walk or roll via a simple rotation of its jointed appendages. This 8-legged vermin is powered by the screams of children and the Linux-beast within. When things get out of hand, you'll want to aim your slingshot at its 800MHz AMD Geode central processing unit and hope for the best. Now go ahead and click through for some video of it bewildered by the flashing camera lights in some makeshift, Japanese LSD lab. It's always a good idea to study your enemy before the big fight.

The day was coming... a company has finally offered a laptop so cheaply that it's almost disposable. The specs are respectable at 14" display, 1.5Ghz Celeron, 256Mb RAM, and 40Gb HD. But most impressive is the price at $150!

Of course, it comes with Linux, so you're not paying the Microsoft Tax.

So you may have heard of the 23 enigma. It's an interesting idea that ties most every conspiracy, cult, or catastrophe back to the number 23. I think it's a great game.
