Weird Science

By kate on July 15th, 2005

The folks at Weird Genius Real Science are really trying to get the word out about their second annual Science Fair tomorrow night (click the link for more details).

Technology mash-up

By kate on June 24th, 2005

Combine Google maps, text messaging, camera phones, tagging, social networking, and blogging and you get one of the coolest ideas I’ve seen in a while: Foundcity.

Cell Phones and Driving

By kate on January 25th, 2000

I am so fed up with people saying that it should be illegal to talk on cell phones in cars.
