List of Latin Phrases

July 14th, 2008 by Almost George

Wikipedia has this list of Latin phrases. (What don’t they have?)

It lists direct English translations of common phrases, such as “veni vidi vici” and “et cetera”. There’s also many that I’ve never heard… so if you’re looking to fill your brain with some potentially useless knowledge - here’s another good resource!

Convertible Homeless Shelter’s

November 16th, 2007 by monk

[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.

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.

[Monk sits back and rubs his chin looking blankly into the air] Good times, good times!

Clean HTML Code

November 8th, 2007 by monk

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.

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!

Mmm… pizza…

Slashdot.org

October 29th, 2007 by monk

So, I don’t know if anyone knows about the website Slashdot, but I found a new slogan on one of their pages that I thought was pretty cool.

 “The Nuts and Volts of News for Nerds”.

(it is located at the top by their logo)

They have always advertised themselves as “News for Nerds…”, but now it sounds more interesting.
