Cheap computer parts

February 27th, 2007

Trying to get a new computer (or even building your own) can be a challenging proposition. Even if you know what you want, it can be annoying to try to find the absolute best price.

Pricewatch helps you there. Despite the similarity in name to Priceline, they don’t sell airplane tickets. Instead, they point you to the best deals in computer hardware. Whether you’re looking for a whole computer or just one part, look at Pricewatch first before you buy anything.

Cantenna How-to

February 20th, 2007

Everyone who has wi-fi at some point wishes for a stronger antenna. Whether you need one so you can use your laptop out in the backyard or if you want to swipe your neighbor’s connection… you’re going to need something to boost that signal.

Making a cantenna can be quickish and easy, if you simply follow the directions. Not only that, but it’s fairly inexpensive.

So go ahead, have fun. (But don’t use your neighbor’s connection without his or her permission first!)

LEGO Computer

February 17th, 2007

Just about everyone loves LEGOs. That’s why this LEGO computer is so cool. This guy (Winston) built a computer case out of LEGO pieces. How cool is that?

I want a LEGO computer now. Maybe I should start planning one.

Ultimate Programming Reference Page

February 15th, 2007

gotAPI has got to be one of the coolest web reference pages out there. You can look up terms in HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript, Ruby on Rails, Java and more. Just click to add your favorite site and *poof* you’re searching away.

As you type, it will show suggestions. Then you can click on the one you think it is and you’ll be shown the appropriate page in a frame.

I’m really not explaining it well, so you should just go look and see what I mean. I think you’ll be glad that you did.
