Another great find of Public Radio streams.

Instead of searching for your favourite shows - this is a one-stop shopping portal for great public radio.
Ugly but informative site on all things cycling. Including the specs on my Original touring bike: a Miyata 1000.

Two great words "cheap" and "raid".

Combine them together and you the The Poor Man's Raid Array

Cheap parts and about 3 hours assembly time gets you a very cool RAID array.

I do not understand why Computer Bowl did not take off like the SuperBowl.

Maybe they needed to drink beer during it, to attract corporate sponsorship.
This seems like a lot of work for pizza.

Who would not want a replica scientific instrument from the Middle Ages?

These people want to have the largest HowTo Wiki on the web.

So here is my contribution.

How to Make Canadian Pancakes - wikiHow
The guys at MAKE do some very cool things (that is why I subscribed to the magazine).

This a great piece on reading text files on your iPod.

MAKE ebooks for your iPod guide!
From someone who is trying to implement GTD into his planning and now carries a Hipster instead of a the several electronic versions of this tool, here is an article which provides some nice additions for that very useful bulge in your back pocket.

I will blog more on GTD later. I have been completely rethinking the way in which I organise my time and actions.

DIY Cat5 Speaker Cables are supposedly much better than high end speaker cables. Only problem is that they rip hands as you try to make them.

Cat5 cables are the best thing for everything.

I am waiting for the Network Cable Car to come out.

Geobloggers

Early use of Google maps to tie web elements to the real world.

Are these photos improved by knowing where they were taken?

I can see some uses for this.

Archaeological sites and their associated site photos is my first thought.

But a photo of someone's ugly kid in front of a tree does not improve with geotagging so that you know where the tree is.

The place to get all of your Air America Podcasts.

I will get a list of the podcasts I subscribe to up here soon. But right now I am subscribing to a load of crap shows and I need to trim it down before I post it here.

One crap show I have on my iPod is the Richard Vobes Show. I tried to listen to it a couple days ago and it made me ill.

So, Google Local UK and Google Maps UK are released.

Now to see what people do with this. Real estate, renting, cab availability etc.

All we need are the Satellite photos to start Google sightseeing UK (here are three to start, Edinburgh Castle, All of the Premiership grounds and Stonehenge).
