Amazon is offering 200 free full-length MP3’s for download from their web site. As far as I can tell they are free of any DRM stuff, and they played without any problems in iTunes on my Mac. The list of songs is updated every six hours, and you can choose to listen to a 30 [...]

Those crazy scientists are at it again. This time they’ve managed to deliberately induce suspended animation in rats. Using hydrogen sulphide to suspend the rats’ usual demand for oxygen, researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle (WA, US) were able to send the rats’ cells into a state of dormancy for [...]

Can a geek call a piece of clothing h0tness? Well I’m not sure, but if we could then we would put this under the h0tness category. Check em out:

9rules CTO Colin Devroe with the details:

Each year we try to wear something original to the premier. This year is no different. This year we’re getting Tshirts [...]

Here is a site about a project this guy took on to create a wifi hotspot in his car by repurposing cellular signals and Verizon’s BroadbandAccess. He was even able to do live vehicle tracking using GoogleMaps.
These web pages are about a project I’ve been working on. Put briefly, it’s a WWAN (Wireless Wide Area [...]

Here is a great resource site I found today via Digg. It has command line references for OS X, Windows NT/XP, Linux BASH, and Oracle 9i.
All are listed alphabetically and come with simple descriptions of what they do.

Google launched a beta of a personal search tool of sorts. You can login to the service (I used my Gmail account) and it will keep track of whatever you search for, telling you how many of the results you clicked on and so forth.
The new Google service, available starting Wednesday on Google Labs, tracks [...]

I really want to say that this is cool, but the more I look at it, the more my spine tingles. This is just a too eerie for me.

This is what makes Google applications so powerful: their ability to get hacked…in a good way. Google Maps has been the Google h0tness for this year and is the latest application to get a major reworking from the outside world.
This site shows you how to use a couple of inputs and XML files to get [...]

Not a fan of Springsteen, but I am more interested in the technology behind this.

“Devils and Dust,” the Boss’s 19th album, will only be available in the United States in the fledgling CD/DVD hybrid, which represents the first major change in retail music packaging since the compact disc was introduced more than two decades ago.
The [...]

Too cool for my own words:

This wiki is a collaborative environment for exploring ways to become a better thinker. Topics that can be explored here include MemoryTechniques, MentalMath, CriticalThinking, BrainStorming, ShorthandSystems, NotebookSystems, and SmartDrugs.

Mix this with the 43 Folders Wiki and I might get some stuff done finally.

I need help coming up with a name for a computer repair/networking company. The three things I’ll offer that no one else does in Abilene is 24/7 service with no mark-up in price [...]

I stumbled across a great article by Bobby van der Sluis on JavaScript best practices for 2005. Creating usable and accessible JavaScript, knowing JavaScript limitations, and creating future-proof JavaScript code are a few of the points touched on.

Even better, the writeup is littered with links referencing even more good information — especially helpful for [...]

Today Scrivs has gone insane and is doing another contest/giveaway, but this one is much easier to participate in. Scope the details over at Insert 25 to see how you can win Jade Empire for the Xbox.

Don’t know how many people here read Whitespace, but if you don’t you might want to start. I am hosting an iPod Shuffle contest and all you have to do is write a webdesign, web programming, or webmastering related How-To. Similar to the Sony PSP contest (11 days left), but for the web geeks and [...]

While the upgrade from 10.3.8 to 10.3.9 has been accomplished without incident for many, some have experienced problems with Java and Java-enabled websites in the new Safari 1.3, which was released with 10.3.9.
You can run this simple test to determine whether you will experience this problem, and subsequently run a few updates to fix it.
