Knowing that swimming is probably my weakest area, I was hoping to accomplish a good long swim before the week’s end. Yesterday morning, I decided to do just that.

We’re seeing a very large push on the acceptance of technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3, and rightfully so, they offer things that are leaps and bounds above what we’ve settled with for so many years now. Pioneering companies like Apple, are throwing their weight around and marketing this stuff like hot cakes, hoping the [...]
From what I gather, this was posted like 13 years ago. I stumbled upon it today and thought it was too cool to pass up. The micro guitar is made out of nano sized micro electromechanical devices and is the size of a single cell. I bet if they created a shrink ray, Yngwie Malmsteen [...]

My toddler (almost 3) kept us up last night. For some reason he was extremely wired and just couldn’t fall asleep. I was supposed to swim today and possibly ride the bike, but I decided to stay in bed and get some much needed shut eye. Though I did do a pretty good core workout [...]
