I know that this video is old (and I've probably posted it before) but here it is again: Random people asked what a Browser is:Now, I get that most laymen just click on the big blue "e" on their Windows PC, or have a friend that has forced them to use Firefox, but if you are using a tool, don't you want to know a little about it? I am not saying that you should know how stuff works inside your computer

I saw this trailer for Plato's Academy - a new Greek comedy (it seems).It's times like these that I wish my local theater (which does make a point to show artsy films) had Greek cinema as well.Heck, Peabody is right next door and there are lots of Greeks there, maybe they should have a Greek Film of the Month ;-)This trailer was also good ;-)

When NetNewsWire announced that they will support Google Reader syncronization I almost jumped for joy since that meant that I could use a desktop RSS reader. I also said f***! because I had spent cash on byline for my iPhone.So how does the free RSS reader fare against byline? Well, I am still glad that I spent money on byline because it runs circles around NetNewsWire. While the free version of

It seems like the previous adieu Geocities was a little premature since Yahoo gave it a stay of execution. Now the time has come upon us as the old school daddy of free web-hosting is turning off the lights.I am wondering if my geocities email address will work after this (not that I've used it in recent years.The one problem that I see is that a lot of websites have been hosted by Geocities in the

OK, OK! Stargate Universe reeks of the same stench as Star Trek Voyager. Voyager at least had a fully functional ship (with the exception of supplies if I am not mistaken), whereas the Destiny (the ship on SGU) is battered and beaten and in serious need of a spacedock (which they don't have).Still, it is a nice addition to the Stargate franchise, and I look forward to many, many seasons. At least

I love metal slug!It reminds me of the early arcade days (for me anyway!)I look forward to playing it on the PSP (the Japanese asking price is rumored to be $56 - I think I will wait for the $25-$30 range)More Metal Slug XX News & Previews

YouTube is a veritable treasure trove of all that is great and crappy at the same time!As a huge fan of Office Space, this little video made me chuckle :-)

I was waiting at the train station the other day when I saw the advertisement bellow. The text reads "America's most convenient bank. Maine to Florida"I don't know what language they are using, but I was under the impression that 'to' implied a continuum, including the exteremes and everything in between. The graphic clearly shows that it's NOT Maine to Florida because there are three states that

I saw this on SNL this past weekend (apologies for the Hulu link for the international audience).This skit reminded me of all the language teaching culture. This video gives us a funny example of why you just can't translate word for word, or even try to superficially use language and culture - you really need to get into the skin of the role (pun intended ;-) ) and dive deep into the host culture.

Όταν ήμουν στο λύκειο έκανα τέσσερα χρόνια τάεκβοντό. Η αλήθεια είναι πως μου άρεσε αρκετά να πηγαίνω στο ντότζο, να εξασκούμε, και φυσικά να βλέπω φιλαράκια. Στο τέλος του λυκείου είχα, αν θυμάμαι καλά, αποκτήσει την κόκκινη
