Too pissed to drive? Take a taxi instead!

That is the motto of a Frankfurt campaign against drunk driving offenses and accidents. Yet if you find the motto strange, the way of delivery is even stranger. This is a clip found on Youtube about what can happen if the local authorities and a taxi company team up.
Now, get into your driving outfit, put […]

How to avoid worrying about codecs ever again

Have you ever wanted to watch a movie, but couldn’t because you didn’t have the proper codecs installed? Yes, that can be very frustrating and it can take the whole fun out of a movie (if you get to watch it in the end), yet it doesn’t have to be that way. The days you […]

Can you guess that movie?

Before I was connected to the internet, I used to spend a good part of my free time watching movies on TV. Now that I am connected, I use a small amount of my free time searching for movie information, in order to determine which flicks are worth watching. It is because of this that […]

Dreamweaver - making your dreams come true

Ever looked at a web page about a topic you like and thought ‘Wow, I have to make one of my own, if only I could!’? Did you freak when you looked at the page source and saw all that complicated coding that didn’t seem to make any sense? Whether you want to design your […]

Do you want to make fun of an enemy by mutilating his picture? Or maybe just make your goofy friends seem even goofier? Well then, you definitely should take […]

Exploring the sky with Google Earth

I still have memories from when I was little of how my grandpa used to point out groups of stars and name the constellation they form. I could never figure out how he did that. I couldn’t find any logical pattern to follow. To me it wasn’t a science - it was merely beautiful. Yet […]

Google Earth

I’m not too sure about you, but I find this little bit of software as entertaining as it is useful. Not only is Google Earth useful and educational, but it fuels mankind’s desire to travel the globe, even if only virtually. Moreover, it not only lets you see every corner of the globe, it also […]

About feeds

Let me start off by saying that I’ve been using the web for quite some time, but most sites I visited had no need for feeds, since they either had a newsletter or were very rarely updated. However, now that I handle articles, I’ve discovered it’s a very simple and efficient way to keep track […]

The internet is really, really great

I think you will like this a lot! I found a very funny clip on YouTube about the internet and it’s usability.
Although it is funny, it tells a really, really sad story about how the internet is used by many if not most people. Enjoy it and please leave your comments!
