An new mook is out! Meet Make: Technology on Your Time and see what it’s all about.
Make: Technology on Your Own Time is not a book… exactly. It’s between a magazine and a book. Mook? Magook? Boozine? Actually, it’s a mook, which is a hybrid of a magazine and a book. When I received it and quickly looked through it to see what it was about, I wasn’t too impressed. Still, [...]

The cost of ethics discusses companies sponsoring and paying bloggers to mentioned its products and services. As you know, I’ve been discussing Marqui every week since December. However, I do have my own code of ethics, which is identical to the six listed in the article: Disclose, disclose, disclose. Transparency—of actions, motives and financial considerations—is the [...]
My daughter is into Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) and I’d love to use it, but never get to an arcade and pay megabucks to try it out. We have a Nintendo Gamecube, the one console that doesn’t have DDR. Playstation 2 and Xbox have the CDs and pads. Which one would be a better choice? [...]
