Batman - Nov 09

I dare you to scroll through this page and tell me that the owner of this place isn't Batman. Seriously. Look at that place. Workshop? Check! Electronics laboratory? Check! Multiple entries and escape routes? Check!

Password Strength - Aug 10

This is so true.

Piranha Plant USB Keychain. I love it! The "fireball" LED light is sweet.

Microsoft Acquisitions and Investments - May 14

Here is a detailed graphical roadmap of Microsoft acquisitions and investments over the years. What a complicated web. How many of the acquisitions actually amounted to anything significant in terms of market share or revenue?

IKEA Manuals - May 09

If IKEA made Sci-Fi assembly manuals. Nicely done.

Miniature Atari 810 Disk Drive - May 05

Amazingly detailed miniature Atari 810 disk drive. It works as a MicroSD drive. Amazing.

Xcode 4 - Mar 09

Xcode 4 has been released. The new integrated UI looks nice. I've never been a huge fan of the old floating window style UI, although it did work well for Metrowerks CodeWarrior.

Interestingly, Xcode 4 is now available from the Mac App Store for $4.99, although it's still free if you download it from the Apple Developer site. I suspect the only reason it's not free is to prevent a slew of people who shouldn't be downloading it from doing so and costing Apple a huge chunk of bandwidth. Fair enough I guess.

I really wish Microsoft would release the full version of their developer tools for free. Their "Express" versions are decent, but they are missing enough key features that it just doesn't work for me.
