It’s ArcAttack! I love these guys (saw them at DragonCon 08, and wow, that was an electrifying experience to say the least). They use Tesla coils to create music, ‘nuf said. Here is a fantastic video by ArcAttack of a Tesla Coil playing the “Imperial March” Star Wars song —...
Well, this is big news in the Realm of Geekdom. It’s also news in human rights. On March 17th, the cast and crew of “Battlestar Galactica” spoke at the United Nations’ Economic and Social Council Chamber. Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama) attended, as well as President Laura Roslin (President Roslyn). ...
Yes, I am a Google fanboy (what self-respecting Linux-loving, Microsoft-basher isn’t?), and this just makes me “Oooo” and “Ahhhh” with childlike wonder. The new Google Earth 5.0 features…. wait for it… wait for it… Google Mars! As the video shows, Google Mars even has a mode where it can show...

Apparently someone has put together a series of talk shows with Cthulhu (yes, the Great Sleepy Old One himself), “Calls for Cthulhu”. These shorts are utterly hysterical, especially if you are familiar with the Cthulhu mythos (and perhaps also pretty funny if you are evently slightly familar with the subject)....
On the subject of Linux I just stumbled upon this very nice web site that helps to explain, in very non-technical terms, why Linux is so much better than Microsoft Windows. Check it out at: Whylinuxisbetter.net. It is specifically geared toward Ubuntu Linux, which is probably one of the easiest...
