If you haven’t heard of them before, chances are, you’ll be hearing more of the name “Konarka Technologies“. After all, developing a technology as advanced as flexible, colored solar cells is a pretty fantastic bit of work. This technology gets all of it’s benefits by being integrated with plastic instead of the usual silicon base. […]
Defender Window
Spyware is the bain of all internet users. Okay, so is spam, and viruses, and interstitial ads, and…. But spyware ranks up there as one of those horrid issues.

The Virginia Tech shootings shocked the world. During that horrific event arose a good story. Kevin Sterne was shot in the leg. The bullet ruptured his femoral artery. And if you know anything about the femoral artery - you know that rupturing that artery is a very bad thing. You can bleed to death very […]

Altec Lansing FX3020 Soundbar Speaker
I am a fan of Altec Lansing. I have an old, and I’m talking like 8 years, speakers system that still really kicks out the sound. It has a sub and 2 satellite speakers and just sounds great. I’ve used it indoors and outdoors for backyard movies projected onto the house. It’s a great unit. […]
