When I first received my iPod a few years ago, I bought the middle of the range 15GB model. Back then the pack included the iPod Case and Dock. It didn’t take long for me to realise just how fragile the chrome and plastic of the player was when the little Apple tag in the […]

Mark Frauenfelder was gracious enough to send me a few images of the early hardcopy zine covers after I interviewed him and Carla. It’s fun seeing the genesis of Boing Boing, and amazing to reflect on how it’s changed and grown to what it is today.

Last night I came home to find that the phone line wasn’t working properly. We had a stack of static.
My first thought was that the battery was low on the wireless handset. I didn’t think much of it until I noticed my ADSL was acting really flakey. I rang the ISPs support line and was […]

Time Magazine has a piece on the Xbox 360. I don’t have a subscription, so I’ll have to wait till I see it on the news stand and buy my copy. However, does anyone think that the Time photographer intended Bill to look like the Borg in the cover photo?
