Ok, sometimes there’s a downside to being a nerd.
Yah, I can hear the gasps in the audience now. But it does happen.
My most recent nerdburn moment came a few minutes ago, when I finally got around to updating to the latest version of Thunderbird, bar none the best email client available, from the people who [...]
What do you get when you unleash Open source types on hardware design? Sometimes, you get beautiful, quirky, devices. Sometimes you get “design by committee” monstrosities that would have been better off never leaving the drawing board.
The WarMouse, also called the OpenOffice Mouse (which seems to be how they’re branding it), falls into the monstrosity [...]
