Catch The Simpsons last night? If not, enjoy this opening sequence in which the Springfield Mall gets a "Mapple" store and Bart steals the show from Steve Mobs (telling a crowd in the Mapple store, "I have made a fortune off of you chumps and I've invested it all in Microsoft!" Gasp) among other spot-on tech-culture references.

When I was very young—I can’t remember how old, but let’s call it six or seven—I was introduced to spreadsheets. It introduced me to the world of statistics, of using data to track progress and predict the future, to work towards tangible, measurable goals instead of lofty, obtuse and too-often forgotten resolutions that people so often make about a month from now each year. I have my father to thank for this, a mindset and ...

It’s that time of year again – time to sally forth in search of the perfect gift for the special and not-so-special-but-they’re-family people in your life.

When I was a little innocent computer newbie, still finding my way around a keyboard and gasping with delight at the internet (”WOW! HOTMAIL!”), I made a few really bad mistakes while learning. One of them (which I still cringe about to this day) was back in 2000 when I installed 9000 fonts on Microsoft Word and then wondered why it took forever for the damn thing to start up! (”Dear Mr Gates, I’d like ...

What is open source hardware? Briefly, these are projects that creators have decided to completely publish all the source, schematics, firmware, software, bill of materials, parts list, drawings and "board" files to recreate the hardware - they also allow any use, including commercial. Similar to open source hardware like Linux, but hardware centric. This is one of the new and emerging trends we've seen really take off over the last few years. Each year we ...
