Yea, you heard me Popular Science. you think you’re too cool for school. We’ll I got news for you…you aren’t.

Remember that DIY LCD picture frame I made using an old IBM thinkpad, flipping the LCD, and loading flicker software?

We’ll today PS has posted a DIY picture project using an old IBM thinkpad, flipping the LCD, and loading flicker software.

This may be a coincidence, but the methodology looks very familiar, and before I did the project I Googled everything I could on DIY flickr LCD picture frames and I didn’t find anyone doing it like I had planned.

PS I accept your apology.

No No It’s OK, I forgive you.

Actually I think they did this a year ago. I was kidding please don’t sue me.

Incase you didn’t know, listening to really loud music, especially through headphones can damage your hearing. We’ve been hearing about this danger since Sony introduced the Walkman in 1979.

A feature in the newest release of the iPod updater software released today allows one to cap the volume on his or her iPod to prevent any hearing damage.

This is for those who are able to tolerate the piercing volume that would cause hearing loss.

If this is you, then I should also tell you not to run with scissors as well. Now go update your iPod, and stop eating glue.

SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0 Magazine) - More evidence has emerged that Google is getting ready to blanket the U.S. with free Wi-Fi, as Business 2.0 senior writer Om Malik reported last year. Now, the company has filed for three patents related to offering wireless Internet access. Search Engine Roundtable points out that the patents all have to do with serving up advertising through a wireless Internet connection maintained by a third party, whose brand Google would include in the presentation of those ads. Sounds a lot like Google’s latest plan to unwire San Francisco, where it has teamed up with EarthLink (Research). By teaming up with partners who would build the actual Wi-Fi infrastructure, Google (Research) could complete a nationwide Wi-Fi network much more quickly than if it had to build it itself. -read more Google, This is great, but it still creeps me out that you keep track of everyone’s searches, and I’m kinda scared that you’ll keep track of our destinations if we use your free wifi. PS. Thanks again for G-Mail. I wonder if you’ll have to register for the service so they know who is going where. Exiting and scary at the same time.

As soon as my workbench is cleared off I’m going to build one of these babies.
