Renaissance 2.0
Amit Sood from Google gave an exciting demo of the Google Art Project that he’s been working on for a while now. In short, we will be able to visit many museums online and zoom into classic works of art and even create our own art collections to share with others. Obviously, nothing will ever…
I’m an I.T. professional and many of my colleagues have given me a hard time through the years for not seeing the 1999 movie “Office Space”. I finally gave in to see what all the fuss was about and I was blown away by how much I loved it. Not only was it funny, thanks to…

I know that his work is not everybody’s cup of tea but that’s what makes him so incredible and thus unforgettable. There is so much emotion and beauty in his films despite…

I tried to install the Google toolbar to my “Google” Chrome browser and got this most unexpected error message. Google toolbar requires Firefox 2.0 or later.
