Oh Polaroid, why did you have to discontinue your iconic instant film? You have left us consumers to hoard leftover supplies, and forced us to purchase overpriced film from eBay sellers who are taking advantage of the economics of supply and demand. (And no, the PoGo is not a sufficient substitute.) However, there are alternatives […]
Re-reading my post about SDCC ’09, I couldn’t help but marvel at the Google logo celebrating the famed event. I have always had a fascination with Google specialty logos – you can’t help but admit that some of them are outright clever.

If I could be anywhere on Earth right now, I would be in San Diego. Even Google is honoring what is probably the largest geek gathering in the world: Geeks of the world, unite! And yes, if I were there, I’d be donning the infamous Princess Leia bikini. I have this Facebook status thread from […]
This photograph of Wednesday’s solar eclipse is hauntingly beautiful. I was sad that the eclipse could only be seen from the eastern hemisphere, but felt lucky to have friends in Asia who uploaded pictures to Facebook and Flickr.
