Building the perfect HTPC: Pt I
Most people don’t want their PC to make any noise at all, but I’m not most people. I like the quiet humming sound that the fans make in my gaming PC, it’s a nice comforting sound that I find strangely satisfying. However I don’t want to hear the sound of whirring fans emanating from my [...]
Friday flashback
Today were flashing back to the 90s when $1999 would get you an Amstrad PC with a hard drive! And they will even throw in a printer, literally.

Aperture: A Triumph of Science
There are a bunch of Portal films out there. Some are great, some are just mediocre and others, well lets just say they won’t be winning any academy awards. One short film that deserves an award of some description is Aperture: A Triumph of Science, it was produced by a wonderful collective called SyntheticPH who [...]

Vimeo Vs. youTube
I’d be annoyed that I missed the War on the Internet (an event that was recently put on by Electronic Frontiers Australia, in partnership with the Australian Greens) if it weren’t for the fact that the videos of the talks were posted online. The videos were posted on Vimeo, a YouTube alternative, which I now [...]
THINK! Supaplex
Supaplex is an old skool puzle game that was released in 1991, then in somewhere in the mid 90s (my closest estimate is somewhere between 1994 to 1997) Digital integration, the publishers of Supaplex, agreed to release it for free and thus Supaplex became freeware. It’s the first game that I know that went from [...]
