Happy Birthday Denis! Even though we all hate growing up, I suppose we don't have a say in it (unless you're 40, in denial, and still live with your mom... not that there's anything wrong with that...). So I hope you don't mind it too much and are enjoying every minute of it! Hope everything is great over on that side of the world and you can come visit us here sometime! Happy birthday again bud.

There have been rumors lately going about Kaka - a player for AC Milan and Brazil's national team, saying that he might be moving to England's Manchester City for a record breaking price. Well to get this squashed once and for all - Kaka isn't going anywhere. In fact in a television interview he told the press that he'd like to grow old in AC Milan and someday become captain, that is, if Milan

Well we're in 2009 now, which means it's time for all the "this and that of 2008" lists to come out showing us some of the good, bad, hilarious and absolutely saddening events that happened last year making us realize how much can happen in just a year. I ran into such a list on Wired today that I decided was too good not to post here. It's called Top 10 Scientific Breakthroughs of 2008. Usually

LOL."Programmer's day is a 'holiday' on the 256th day of the year celebrated mostly by computer programmers (reason: 256 = 2 to the power of 8 = the number of values representable in a byte of data).

For once LDS was noted as "Latter Day Saints" instead of "Mormons" - that caught my eye right away lol.

The article begins with a talk about a hacker who was able to break into MediaDefender - a company that protects a lot of the entertainment companies against piracy.

The answer is simple. If you're using multiple email accounts on different systems (hotmail, yahoo and etc) you noticed that simply forwarding messages to Gmail will not solve the problem of disabled

Yes boys and girls, I have committed myself to the world of consoles. I have chosen sides and am prepared to defend my position. I talked big about and was totally excited for the Wii. I had a chance to play over Christmas and was thoroughly impressed with how anyone and I mean anyone can pick it up and have a blast with it.But for me, I chose a console based on one game and one game only.

I have had dual monitors at work for a long time and luckily I've had an nVidia video card, which has a great utility that allows you to be pretty flexible with your dual monitors. However I've always had problems with the taskbar options and finally I was able to find an application that allowed me to customize my taskbar just the way I wanted. Introducing Ultramon. The application allows you to

OK this goes on the list of "You know you're in the US if." And the answer is "if you're required to wear a helmet while playing soccer." The state of Massachusetts is trying to pass a law that would require anyone playing soccer to wear a helmet. Apparently they are worried because head/brain injuries are not so uncommon in soccer.

There's a cool site that lets you test your musical ear. You listen to 36 different tunes and each tune is played twice. After each "pair" has played you have to tell it whether you heard two identical or different tunes. It's a simple idea, but cool at the same time. I got 80.6% on it :( Anyways here's the link:Test your musical skills in 6 minutes

I think I will end up with a Wii AND a PS3 (more to come about how I'm getting those for free - hee-hee-hee) and Nico (my brother-in-law) has a 360, so I am as you can guess pretty excited about the console war going on.PS3's launched in Japan today, and come to the US Nov. 17th, 2 days before the

Since the Lebanon thread is out my range of view in my screen (because of so many comments) I thought it would be convenient to post a new one with the inclusion of this video. It is a little long (1h.36m) but I think it makes some pretty good points. I have not seen it all, just about half of it, but was impressed with it. See what you think, I still have to come to my own conclusions about it.

Even better yet, they expect that this year the average age will drop down to five years old. For those who are worried about kids wasting all the minutes and getting huge fees, there are features that allow the parents to control the

Some of you know that I'm a photo junkie. By that I mean that I love taking them and usually out of every trip/event I get about 100 shots. Which means that the amount of them grows fairly fast.Last summer I suffered a hard drive crash which took down some 3000 unique photos that had no copies and/or backups. After that I started doing backups fairly regularly (around once every three month).

Yesterday I met up with the cousins and a friend of their family at Cedar Point and we had a blast lol. But I wanted to post this picture that me and Goga got while going on one of the biggest (and the best ever in my opionion) rides there - Millenium Force. Just an FYI we've been there so many times, that we know where all the cameras are on the rides, so we make stupid faces lol. This one

The new client has file transfer and more! Naturally Denis and I couldn't wait till the official release, so we got our hands on a test version of the messenger to test out the new features.File transfer

I am very picky about the naming conventions and always make sure the tags on my media files are in tact before I import them into iTunes. But sometimes it can be pain to go through the files one at a time and change the information, so when I saw an article on Lifehacker about a software that makes it easier I was all about it!

OK I don't think any of us hasn't seen the "Jose +10" Adidas commercial. Well here's a google video of the "making of the commercial" where the stars (aka the soccer players) talk about the commercial (unfortunately a lot of them talk in their native language and there's no subtitles lol). But I figured anyone who enjoyed Jose +10 will enjoy this! So here it is:Making of Adidas Jose+10

Well i felt like I had to post this, as Zidane has been being bashed for what I thought was not such a bad thing he did against Materazzi and trust me, if anyone would defend Materazzi, its me, since he plays for my favorite club and country. Anyway, mika you're gonna hate me, but I think Zidane did have a great career and probably is one of the greatest players to play this beautiful game. I

Are you having problems with your neighboors stealing your wireless? Well I'm sure most of us already know how to keep them off our wireless connection, but I found an article that instead of completely cutting people off, actually has some fun with them!The idea is to allow others to get on your network and gain an IP address, but mess with their internet browsing.

Well I'm not sure exactly when the official birthday of the blog is, since Denis created it a few days before the first post, but I figured since the very first post was made on the 26th, it's appropriate to say that we're now 1 year old!

Well don't get too excited as this is not a built-in bluetooth. But instead Jabra announced a bluetooth adapter for iPods. This is one more step closer to having a true bluetooth on iPods, which of course hopefully Apple will do soon. Anyways here's the info on that adapter on engadget.comiPod Bluetooth Adapter

A while back I tried to watch "Fahrenheit 911" and it was crap, the guy was pulling facts out of his behind and making assumptions that were not supported by any facts at all. This documentary takes a completely different route: "This film shows direct connection between the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the United States government. Evidence is derived from news footage, scientific fact,

Wired had an article today talking about this car - Tesla's Roadster that runs on more than 6800 lithium batteries! For those who don't know, lithium batteries are the batteries that your laptops use. These wasn't the only interesting thing about this car. It does 0-60 in about 4 seconds, and, according to Wired the realistic top speed is 130mph (even though the dash goes up to 150mph).

Many of us do a lot of work in our browser window. But we also tend to use the same browser window for entertaintment. Sometimes things like YouTube, Google Video, Bloglines and Digg get in the way of work because we spend way to much time reading about the cool new gadgets that just came out.The solution to this problem is actually very simple. If you use Firefox there is a little known feature

Well another world cup came to an end and once again we witnessed some amazing games, amazing players - old and new, some let downs and disappointments. We witnessed many underdogs step up and really stick it to the power houses and I believe we saw many changes in the way that some teams played - Germany, Italy and many more. So now we wait again for 4 years with great anticipation and hope that

Hey since we're so spirited about this world cup, I wanted to post the "Adidas golden ball list" that has all the candidates on the golden ball this year. It's an award given to the best player of the world cup after each world cup and it doesn't have to be a player on the winning team.Adidas Golden Ball ListI figured we can comment on all the candidates and give our oppinions on it!
