“Old Dan Tucker”

November 28th, 2007 by monk

I learned this song from my Great-Grandfather and my Grandfather as I was growing up. I never knew it was actually a song. I thought they made it up. All of my family is from the Ozark Mountain/Northwestern Arkansas region. So yes, I would be considered a Hillbilly.  Here is a wikipedia article about the song.

I’m no genuis, but I think someone made a mistake. I was shopping on a popular chain department store website for Wii games when I came across this picture for some Chicken type game for the Wii.

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

November 13th, 2007 by monk

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.

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

Here is an elevator on the side of a mountain in China. I want to do this.

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.

Patriotic Speed Painting

November 7th, 2007 by monk

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!

November 5th, 2007 by monk

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.”
