Another shot with the Sony 30mm f/2.8 Macro and the DIY Lightbox.

Finally built a small DIY lightbox. I went with the simple plasic tub and some work lights. I might try some color corrected florescent bulbs next. The work lights are way to hot. I was afraid it would melt the plastic.

Venture capitalist Guy Kawasaki got more than he bargained for from an automated feed he set up on his Twitter account.

Some of Kawasaki's more than 139,000 Twitter followers noticed something strange when they saw a particular non-VC-related tweet sent from his account on Tuesday.

This makes the third CompactFlash drive that blew up on me over the past few years. I've had two early 1GB drives go out, and now… Continue
