While it is impossible to guarantee 100% immunity from any sort of "bad" exposure on the internet there are a few tools that can help us not wander into trouble. I will list off a few free ways to keep yourself and your kids out of harms way.  OpenDNS Google SafesearchMicrosoft Parental Controls Mac Parental Controls

I was looking for a nice to-do list web app and came by this one. Nice clean interface, with iGoogle widget and Google calendar integration. Yay! Worth a try if you need to-doage...

Well like the other 7 million players of WoW I purchased The Burning Crusade. I love it, tons of quests make leveling fun. Flying mounts, new instances, and 10 more levels make it a serious time consumer.

I am going to keep this short. See if I can keep your attention.Features I like on the Xbox 3601. You can use a regular IR remote to control the DVD player2. Online "marketplace" is FAST and you can download demos and play games at the same time3. Xbox live4. Removable Battery in the controllerStuff I hate/dislike about the xbox 3601. Huge "power brick"2.

I keep hearing people talking about SightSpeed so i decided i would take a look at it. My first opinion is its skype with a better mac client. Then that got me thinking... i haven't looked at skype for the mac in about 6 months. Well lookie here! They have a new version, now with video chat! So go get it!

I know I am a little late on this one. I see the "big" update was released on October 8th. Well I guess better late then really late. The new Google reader for RSS is awesome! Everything I hated about the first revision of Google reader has been fixed, including a "Mark all as read" feature that was missing from the original. The new Google reader is very easy to use and lays out like gmail.

Firefox 2 has been released! But its not without its problems. On both my Macs and PCs I have had numerous problems. With the Macs the new browser was very unstable. I could only use it for a few minutes before it would crash. In windows the tabbed interface wouldnt work. When I would open tabs only the left most tab would "work" no matter what tab was highlighted. After reading the Mozilla

I figure its time for an update. I have been busy making my first few batches of biodiesel. The batches I have been making are small 1 Liter test batches. Better to have a messed up 1 liter bottle then a 40 gallon tub of crap. The biggest obstacle so far has really been the acquisition of Methanol. It is hard to find in any quantity but it looks like I do have a source for it now.Measuring the

With gas prices at an all time high BioDiesel is looking pretty damn nice. Since their invention diesels have been praised as being more efficient and longer lasting then their gasoline burning brethren. But mainly due to bad press and the lack of quality fuel in the USA diesels are very few and far between when it comes to consumer cars. I have a feeling that is about to change. With VW cranking

Wow, I downloaded this one a while ago. For some reason I just haven't wanted to play it. Its probably just the genre. Its been so over done, you can only take some many crazy scenarios of people coming back to life after being killed by other dead people only interested in eating live people. Well last night I was bored out of my mind! So i fired it up. I had a good time smashing and shooting a

I have been thinking about shelling out some money for a new HD-DVD player. Sure I know the format war is just starting, but I cant help that im addicted to toys. For a while I have been using the xbox 360 as an DVD player, to be honest its very good at it. The menus are easy to use and they look cool . Plus it works with my Logitech 880 remote. Now it appears I will have another option, HD-DVD

I have noticed a growing trend of people being unable to manage the amount of data they are creating. Photos are the best example. For years we took pictures with film cameras and hid the undeveloped rolls or prints in shoe boxes all over our homes. Now we have digital cameras and we are taking more photos then ever. If you were to ask me to find my photos from the 4th of July in 2001 I would be

I dont use FTP as much as used to. In fact twice a week is about the frequency of my use. Almost everything i used to use it for has a web interface now. Like this blog for example :-) But when I do use FTP I like to have a fast clean GUI interface. After some google searching I had my selection down to two apps. Transmit and CyberDuck. Transmit has some awesome features and the interface is

Office.... one of my least favorite apps for the PC. My change to mac has not helped me here. Office 2004 for mac is a pig. My opinion could be skewed because there is no universal binary and it appears Microsoft might not be releasing one. Let me tell you, running word/excel/entorage on an intel mac is HORRIBLE! So i went looking... and i found a couple replacements. Open Office will run on a

Everyone needs IM right? Realtime chat is a must for my standard day. Being able to talk on the phone and ask questions to office mates at the same time is indispensable. Or having a casual conversation with a friend that lives in another country. These are some of the benefits that I find I cant live without. I started out trying to use the built in application "IChat AV" but in order to use

I have always been a vendor loyal person, as long as I thought the product was the best in the field. For example when I was nearing the age of 16 and was very interested in cars (well trucks) I could tell you almost every detail about any newer model car or truck.At the time I was a HUGE Chevy fan, partly because of stats and partly because of my Father.

God it seems like all the news (geek news) web sites are talking about the killing of Jeeves from ask.com. Well I remember when Jeeves first appeared. It was really just a search engine that was supposed to let you use natural language. “how can i get a sugar momma?” Turns out the technology wasn't all that good at figuring out what people wanted so they ditched the idea and just became a regular

NetJaxer is an interesting app that lets you treat your web apps—Gmail, Ta-da List, Writely, etc.—like normal Windows apps. With NetJaxer you can create desktop and quicklaunch icons for them, make them run when Windows starts, and minimize to the system tray. When you run a web app with NetJaxer it's loaded in a NetJaxer window, which is basically a dumbed-down web browser. So far I love it for
