Convertible Homeless Shelter’s

[CLICK HERE]  - Homeless Shelter Concepts

Pretty cool concepts. This site shows convertible public structures that homeless people could use as shelter. Which I kind of laugh, because I thought they already do, but apparently, some cities have started to design park benches so that it would be very difficult to sleep on them.

Here is a convertible park bench idea:

[CLICK HERE] - Urban Tent Dwellings

Here is some cool pics of people living in the city in tents. This one really caught my eye. It looks like a car with a tarp over it, it is actually just a frame made out of pipe covered with a tarp.

Cassette Generator

I am still trying to figure this one out. Why would you want a picture of a cassette with your name on it? Since I am searching the couch cushions of the Internet, I thought why not post it.

APPLE from 1976 - 2007

November 9th, 2007 by monk

Here is a site that shows Apple/Mac computers from 1976 until present day. Pretty cool to see how far they have come. Funny thing is, I remember working on some of the earlier models when I was in Elementary.

For those of you who have worked with HTML before, it can get pretty nasty if someone does not use spaces, tabs, or newlines. Here is a site that shows how to write clean code.

I usually don’t posted these kind of videos because there are so many of them, but I am feeling a little patriotic and thought why not. USA #1 in whole world!!!

Make a blinking LED for your unused USB ports

November 5th, 2007 by monk

Here is a site on how to make a blinking LED for your USB port, that looks very easy. I doubt I will ever do this, but it is neat to see people use their minds and come up with stuff on their own.

Worst Technology Websites

November 5th, 2007 by monk

I found two websites that claim to be technology firms. The first one I found in a Digg article, but the other I just came across. These sites look like they were created in the 90’s and have not been updated since. WOW!

Watch out if you use the color Magenta and have “anything to do with phones, digital media… oh and just about anything on the internet.”

Want Wi-Fi capabilities on your Digital Camera?

October 31st, 2007 by monk

Well now you can. The card (aka Eye-Fi) is a SD memory card that has Wi-Fi built into it. This thing is stinking amazing. After a little programming, you just pop this thing into your camera and it will wirelessly, as long as you are within range of your router, upload the photos you take to 20 different web photo sites. It costs about $100.
