How about learning about cocaine from Pablo the pooch, who just happens to be a talking doggy drug mule? No? Then what about connecting up the stars to create your own constellation then see it wrap around your screen in 3D?

There must be something you will like from this selection of flash based websites.

No more digging dead McNuggets out from under the spacebar, or wiping old rancid Mountain Dew stains from the numpad, just drop the whole dang thing into the sink and give it a good scrubbing. Lovely. It’s also dishwasher safe, and anti-bacterial, which puts it one step ahead of Windows Vista, eh? ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/2-2009/png-compressor-makes-your-images-teeny.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/2-2009/png-compressor-makes-your-images-teeny.html Fri, 27 Feb 2009 04:25:56 GMT PNG Gauntlet is a .NET freeware program that optimises the size of PNG image files. Actually it’s a front end for the PNGOUT command line program, but the end result is the same – your images get made smaller. Oh and most importantly, it does this impressive feat without losing image quality. If you have a lot of images and file size and disk space is important to you, then you’ll probably want to take a look at ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/1-2009/i-o-data-fills-dvd-burner-hole-in-netbooks.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/1-2009/i-o-data-fills-dvd-burner-hole-in-netbooks.html Sat, 31 Jan 2009 15:22:23 GMT Netbooks are all the rage, and who can blame them. They are cheap, light, small, and ultra-portable. They do lack certain amenities such as DVD/CD drives and burners. It does make sense then that drive manufacturers would rush to try and fill the holes dug by netbooks, and that is exactly what I-O data is trying to do with their new Slim DVD-Burner. The DVRP-U8XLE2 is a slim, well-designed, and light DVD burner that can handle all of your media needs when you need your netbook to do a bit ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/1-2009/functional-notebooks.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/1-2009/functional-notebooks.html Sat, 31 Jan 2009 15:21:16 GMT Omg, I’ve got it!!!! They are amazing! Many thanks to Arwey design team, and especially to my mate Burak for this beautiful present.

In classrooms and in lectures I use tablets for both information delivery and capture. In fact, hone of my biggest problems being an Apple Fanboy is that (for now) there is no MacBook tablet. If there were, I would be in heaven. The Fujictsu ST6012 might just be the piece of equipment that wins me back to the PC world. It is a serious ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/10-2008/lg-kp500-yet-another-affordable-and-shiny-smartphone.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/10-2008/lg-kp500-yet-another-affordable-and-shiny-smartphone.html Tue, 07 Oct 2008 03:20:35 GMT LG has recently announced an affordable yet stylish touch screen Smartphone known as the LG KP500.

It''s designed for digital SLR users (although old-school non-digital SLRs will fit in just fine), and features a quilted satin lining and pockets for memory cards or other accessories. It''s made from high-quality polyurethane and the red version shown above will be available in November, with navy and black bags out by Christmas. They''re expected to cost just $40 ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2008/trekstor-matches-two-of-my-passions-data-and-beer.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2008/trekstor-matches-two-of-my-passions-data-and-beer.html Wed, 17 Sep 2008 03:56:59 GMT I am all for multi-function devices. I have a printer / scanner / copier, I carry a Swiss-Army knife, and own an iPhone. If I am going to plop money down for a gadget or gizmo, it better do more than one thing.

I suppose a microwave in the car could be useful if you''re someone who regularly takes long road trips and would rather heat up your own homemade lasagna than eat rest stop fare. Or if you''re a huge picnic fanatic who has to have food served really, really hot, which can''t be achieved with silly little thermoses. Or you want to make your own hot, organic popcorn for the movie theatre minutes before you go ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/7-2008/chinas-dangerous-web-domains.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/7-2008/chinas-dangerous-web-domains.html Thu, 03 Jul 2008 02:32:41 GMT A recent report by antivirus software vendor McAfee Inc. has found that some of the most dangerous domains on the Internet are in China. That may not be good for companies setting up Internet-based business ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/6-2008/porous-nanostructures-for-better-fuel-cells.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/6-2008/porous-nanostructures-for-better-fuel-cells.html Fri, 27 Jun 2008 02:35:25 GMT For 5,000 years or so, the only way to shape metal has been to "heat and beat." Even in modern nanotechnology, working with metals involves carving with electron beams or etching with acid. Now, Cornell scientists have developed a method to self-assemble metals into complex nanostructures. Applications include making more efficient and cheaper catalysts for fuel cells and industrial processes and creating microstructured surfaces to make new types of conductors that would carry more information across microchips than conventional wires do........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/6-2008/standards-set-for-energy-conserving-led-lighting.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/6-2008/standards-set-for-energy-conserving-led-lighting.html Fri, 27 Jun 2008 02:35:25 GMT Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in cooperation with national standards organizations, have taken the lead in developing the first two standards for solid-state lighting in the United States. This new generation lighting technology uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) instead of incandescent filaments or fluorescent tubes to produce illumination that cuts energy consumption significantly........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/6-2008/discovery-of-faster-computers.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/6-2008/discovery-of-faster-computers.html Fri, 27 Jun 2008 02:35:25 GMT Physicists at UC Riverside have made an accidental discovery in the lab that has potential to change how information in computers can be transported or stored. Dependent on the "spin" of electrons, a property electrons possess that makes them behave like tiny magnets, the discovery could help in the development of spin-based semiconductor technology such as ultrahigh-speed computers........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/6-2008/shape-to-cool-future-computers.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/6-2008/shape-to-cool-future-computers.html Fri, 27 Jun 2008 02:35:25 GMT Researchers at Purdue University are developing a miniature refrigeration system small enough to fit inside laptops and personal computers, a cooling technology that would boost performance while shrinking the size of computers. Unlike conventional cooling systems, which use a fan to circulate air through finned devices called heat sinks attached to computer chips, miniature refrigeration would dramatically increase how much heat could be removed, said Suresh Garimella, the R. Eugene and Susie E. Goodson Professor of Mechanical Engineering........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/sticky-nanotubes-hold-key-to-future-technologies.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/sticky-nanotubes-hold-key-to-future-technologies.html Fri, 27 Jun 2008 02:35:25 GMT Scientists at Purdue University are the first to precisely measure the forces mandatory to peel tiny nanotubes off of other materials, opening up the possibility of creating standards for nano-manufacturing and harnessing a gecko's ability to walk up walls. So-called "peel tests" are used extensively in manufacturing. Knowing how much force is needed to pull a material off of another material is essential for manufacturing, but no tests exist for nanoscale structures, said Arvind Raman, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue........ ]]>
