I knew I would forget it. I suck at remembering important dates. In any case FG turned 1 year old on February 24th. I think that’s pretty cool. It’s very rare that I stick with anything for longer than a year without losing some sort of interest, but FG continues to be fun for me.
To [...]

Sam Hughes has created a nice “must read’ document for any would be plotters against the existence of the Earth. He gives different Earth destroying techniques along with the feasibility of each technique. In short, it’s not easy.

If total human genocide is your ultimate goal, you are reading the wrong document. There [...]

Brad over at Wincustomize.com has put together a list of things that he believes all operating systems should have. These include:

Seamless Distributed Computing
Seamless Distributed File System Databases
Global User Managment
Universal Environments
Component Based Operating Systems

Only one that really interests me is #1 since I have 2 other computers that at times are sitting idly doing nothing. I [...]

Got /pizza?

I thought I’d commemorate my first post here at ForeverGeek by doing a post about the man my alias came from. Macgyver. In case you hadn’t heard, Macgyver season 1 was released on DVD a few weeks ago. The Season 1 DVDs come packed with 6, count ‘em, 6 discs of pure [...]

When I was creating my character in a MMORPG a few days ago I went across a strange writer’s block, I couldn´t think of a name for my character. So I started thinking of many nicknames, I tried some Greek mythology ones first but the most common ones were already taken so I ended up [...]

Now that Insert 25 is hitting its stride and FG has an upcoming redesign (looking at late March launch) I guess I should let it be known that I am looking for some anime/manga writers. You may recall that a couple of weeks ago I did a search for the best anime sites and while [...]

This article lists features, abilities, etc that Mozilla (v 1.2) has that IE 6.0 does not. 101 things — that’s a lot. Granted a few are relatively minor things, but the exhaustive list would definitely be a handy document to have when trying to persuade higher ups that Mozilla/Firefox is the way to [...]

Looks like it won’t be long till Firefox reaches the mythical 10% marketshare mark. This is great news and good to see the continued growth of a solid application. I think IT departments have caught on to the fact that using Firefox is just a better decision in a corporate environment unless you are using [...]

I know Firefox theme discussion could fill up an entire blog, but I had to post about Pimpzilla. It’s fur-lined with a leopard print tab bar, gold chromed scroll bars, iced navigation icons, and is otherwise pimped out.

I’ve been using the theme for over a week and haven’t tired of it yet. Watch [...]

A while back, I posted about a tutorial for making a life poster. A cool idea, yes, but not executable by those of us handicapped by the absence of a Mac. So, Sean of Wayward Puppy created a similar tutorial for Photoshop. According to the comments, it should also work with Photoshop [...]

I forget a lot of times that just because I don’t need something that others out there won’t jump at the opportunity to scoop up a deal when it becomes available. TextDrive, the hosting service by TextPattern’s Dean Allen, is going through a second round of VC and is offering a bargain of a deal: [...]

Following a rather long hiatus, the GeoURL ICBM Address service is up and running again. Now proclaiming itself as version “2.0 - beta”.
GeoURL is a location-to-URL reverse directory. This will allow you to find URLs by their proximity to a given location. Find your neighbor’s blog, perhaps, or the web page of the restaurants near [...]

It’s about time we had a sexy, geek gadget back on the front page of Forever Geek and I’ve found a stunner: The Laserpod.
Advertised as the “21st Century Version of the Lava Lamp”, the Laserpod is a desktop lamp that splits three laser and three high-intensity blue and ultraviolet LED light sources before projecting them [...]

Microsoft has enlisted Hironobu Sakaguchi, credited with creating the legendary “Final Fantasy” series of role-playing video games, to make two games for the next Xbox game console, the company said Thursday.

Interesting news, especially around EA and 3DO founder Trip Hawkins’s recent prediction: My magic eight ball says [Nintendo] will be acquired by Microsoft within five [...]

Office Space scenes acted out with old Super Friend cartoons. Superman as Peter (and there really is a resemblance), and Batman and Robin as Michael and Sam (respectively).
Too funny.
