Surfing The Web So You Don't Have To
This is an interesting (if almost eerie) site with a bunch of photos found on old cameras. He’s been buying old cameras from junk shops and processing the pictures with some interesting results.
In this digital age, I wonder what people have found on old hard drives and memory cards. I usually just format any old ports I’m given, but maybe I should start digging through them.

Update with correct link.
Because I have to say, drop-kicking the extra point in an NFL game is pretty dang cool.
OK, so I’m a bit slow and missed this before, but I’m putting 1-800-FREE411 in my cell phone’s speed dial. All you have to do is listen to a quick advertisement, and it’s free (which is better than what my cell phone company charges for 411 access).
I could probably round up 85 CDs and get myself a used Nano.
Oh, and Happy New Year! How many times have you written 1/1/05 today (I’m guilty of three, so far).
I’ve had these links flagged in my RSS reader for quite a while, and I just need to get them out of there before I go nuts with a bunch of six-month-old links sitting there:
That’s enough for now. I’ve got many more, but it’s late, and this shoud keep you busy for a bit. Many of the above links are from fullalbums.com.
I know this news is over a week old, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be totally cool.
That, and a bunch of tools, but I’d certainly build myself a MAME cabinet using the well-done plans and instructions here.
The next version of windows (aka Windows Vista) will not only have system-wide volume control, but you can now set it on a per-application basis. That’s something that I’m immensely looking forward to, as there are some players (**cough**cough**Quicktime**cough**cough) that make it a point to jack the volume all the way up every time you open it, no matter what it’s been set at before.
Thanks Barn for the link.
This home brew project, with its 12 400 gig drives, is frickin’ sweet (read the full thread on the story on how this thing started as a 1.2TB server, it blew up, and he’s rebuilding it — I’m linking to page ten in the first link above as it’s where the action starts again). I think the thing that impresses me the most about the build is the super-clean wiring and the nicely done homemade modifications.
Pretty much everything at orisinal.com is quick and fun, but this simple little bugs game is a great time killer — which is why I’m not touching it today.
