I remember how great a gadget the original Iomega parallel port Zip Drive was. As a matter of fact my first copy of Windows 95 was installed from my Zip Disk as the entire Windows 95 Upgrade CD would fit on one Zip Disk if it was compressed (with the completely unrelated Zip compression utility).

I find this little prefab house interesting partly because of the 70′s decor. But also as a counter to the current bigger is better mode that has had a huge part in driving the current real estate problem. Now I’m not typically one to talk about what people “need” and I won’t where it comes [...]
In another move certain to bolster those who believe Britain is not only a police state but also doomed as an individual cultural identity a woman who continued to sell produce by the POUND is up for trial by jury.

Students in Wisconsin, using a telescope in New Mexico owned by a college in Michigan discovered asteroid 2008 AZ28 looking at the pictures on the internet. Does this constitute some sort of cosmic alignment or something?
It has been announced that Sun has acquired MySQL AB. Thankfully it wasn’t Oracle who were making overtures last year and scaring the heck out of a lot of people including myself.
