Hey pal. Buy yourself a mechanical keyboard. I suggest Das Keyboard, no question. Backstory: My dinky Logitech was getting cruddy beyond anything the finest dust guns and tungsten carbide paper clips could salvage. I figured it was time to get a new and decent keyboard for my blogging career dreams. Gotta spend money to make money, right? Turns out they still sell … Read more

Last night I piloted my new mini quadcopter out my backdoor and beyond my deck. That’s when I lost reception, and she plummeted forty feet. Normally that would be no big deal, this sucker is invincible, but I heard the distinct, unmistakable sound of the body of a car being struck by a small drone. … Read more

But my sweet lil’ baby was dissatisfied with the helicopter’s yaw rate and demanded a better-handling aircraft. So I poked around Youtube for information and found Flyin’ … Read more
The coolest things are programmed in Python, Python is in high demand on the job websites, Python’s capabilities are relatively universal and the consensus is that it’s the easiest language to cram. I gotta learn Python. My boss […]
After a long clip of consumer celibacy, I decided to hit up Newegg and splurge and drop a grand on the mother of all monitors, even though I’m already living beyond my means, according to my tax guy. Days went by, no package. Usually things show up from Newegg the next day on free shipping. Uh … Read more
I look at you, freebie Inoreader.com account user, and I see me a few weeks ago when I had just a regular free Inoreader account. I thought life was perfect, that I didn’t need any more from RSS. But over time I had noticed new features, like Active Search, so out of curiosity I pulled … Read more

Damn thing keeps selling out! That’s okay, I’ve got a Linux box at my disposal set to load the Google Play Nexus 6 product page every six minutes.
