Dragons and Laptops

Posted on October 26, 2012 by Arthur

What is funnier than ‘America’s Funniest Home Video Show’? Why, items that are wrongly priced on on-line shopping sites! I mean, a 10,000 dollar laptop that features a second generation i3 processor, a tame Radeon processor and yes, 6 GB … Continue reading →

Roll up the Rim 2011

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Arthur

The GPL and other links

Posted on July 24, 2010 by Arthur
