iPad vs Netbook: Does a Physical Keyboard REALLY Matter?
While his email is original, the question from community member “Tamloo” is an all-too-familiar one for me (unedited): Hey Chris, I have been a really big fan of yous over the past couple of years. You are one of the main sources I get my technology news from. One thing I really like about you [...]
What Does Your Home Office Look Like?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed You asked for it! And, even if you didn’t ask for it, you’re getting it, anyway. I did the first real home office tour at the beginning of 2009 (and didn’t think much of it at the time). Well, I didn’t [...]
Do You Want an iMac?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Brandon asked in chat the other night if an iMac is a good investment. I don’t know if I can view any computer as an “investment.” Yes, I think the iMac is a good computer. The issue I see with a [...]
Life Without Computers
I had to chuckle when I read Decimic’s question on Lockergnome earlier. Up for discussion is what our lives would be like if computers had never been invented.

An Ode to Computers
This catchy tune by joystyle will have you laughing and tapping your toes. While it may be a comedy to some, it’s sacred to those of us who call ourselves Geeks. We live and die by the things rapped about in this video. We grew up in the days of DOS. We roll our eyes [...]
Kissing My Surface Reflection
Playing with the Surface that Microsoft is bringing to Gnomedex. They’ve even developed an application that will allow attendees to exchange contact information in real-time – not to mention, watch a live Twitter and Flickr stream of the latest content tagged with “gnomedex” online. A still photo doesn’t do this Surface app justice, however. What [...]
What Happens When Your Laptop’s Motherboard Goes Bad?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed There is this thing sitting inside your computer that is the one thing every other thing is connected to! It’s called a motherboard. I have no idea why there’s no fatherboard… but yeah. The motherboard is crucial. If it’s not working [...]
What’s the Worst That Could Happen?
