I came across this piece on a home made drone and found it way cool . Well, except the part about it carrying hundreds of pounds of explosives. Assuming this is just some random engineer with resources just like the rest of us, wouldn't this be an...

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash
Published 10 August 8 2:28 PM | William
Seems like every time I've tried to watch a YouTube video recently, no matter what computer I was using, I got this error message. So I'd click on the link to install the latest Flash player. And it would run through the install and confirm it...

God I hate Ajax

I was typing up a blog post earlier today and after 15 or so complete 5-10 second freezes, my browser finally crashed. That was using IE 7. IE 8 is a whole different story (and so, not a very good one). So I started to think about how frequently my mobile...
