I read about the glitch the other day.  It showed a golf ball landing ON the water, then as Tiger Woods you could walk out and hit it.  Needless to say, it sounded like a glitch, BUT…
As a response to a fan video from Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08, Tiger Woods and EA SPORTS demonstrate [...]

I have to say that one of the more interesting takeaways from WordCamp was how wildly used it was.  There was great presentations of how Education has turned towards it.  There was a presentation about a project to use WordPress as a backend to create your own personalized Social Network.  But the most interesting in [...]

The Olympics is one of those places where all politics stop and amazing events are the rule of the day.  I was perusing the USA Team blogs (yes they have them, and its pretty cool) and ran across this blurb:

Another reason to ditch Windows…

I had posted on The Wordcamp Report, but I figured I’d let you all know that WordCamp San Fransisco is coming up and looking good.   They’ve gone ahead and picked a new larger (more comfortable) location… I’m assuming modeled off of the very successful WordCamp Dallas.  And they also lowered the cost a little and [...]

Okay Gizmodo had a link to a new “feature” at the LA Museum of Natural History. This is a video of a dinosaur on the loose in the exhibit halls. No computer effects used here, folks: it’s all real. Well, I mean, it’s not a real dinosaur of course or those kids would be totally [...]

I had read with interest about a kid and his family fighting a speeding ticket by proving with a GPS they had mounted on his car that he was wrongly ticketed.
What started out as a simple disputed speeding ticket has blossomed into a full-scale trial in Sonoma County Superior Court, costing both sides thousands of [...]

I was reading my paper at lunch like I normally do and I ran across that article. The intersting part about it, was about a month ago I noticed they had [...]
