How It Works The Visual Thesaurus is an interactive dictionary and thesaurus which creates word maps that blossom with meanings and branch to related words. Its innovative display encourages exploration and learning. You'll understand language in a powerful new way.
Say you have a meaning in mind, like "happy." The VT helps you find related words, from "cheerful" to "euphoric." The best part is the VT works like your brain, not a paper-bound book. You'll want to explore just to see what might happen. You'll discover -- and learn -- naturally and intuitively. You'll find the right word, write more descriptively, free associate -- and gain a more precise understanding of the English language.

Image resizing tools aren't just for people who don't have Photoshop, or the non tech savvy. I often take screen capture snippets for posting to this blog and if they exceed the width of my content area, I need to resize them. And I don't want to open up Photoshop (or another image program) to do it. Call me impatient or lazy or whatever, but that just seems like killing a fly with a hammer."

Why a Powers of Ten Day?
EarthIn 1977, Charles and Ray Eames made a nine-minute film called Powers of Ten that still has the capacity today to expand the way we think and view our world.

Darik's Boot and Nuke (Hard Drive Disk Wipe)
Darik's Boot and Nuke (Hard Drive Disk Wipe): "Darik's Boot and Nuke
Darik's Boot and Nuke ('DBAN') is a self-contained boot floppy that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect, which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction.
DBAN is a means of ensuring due diligence in computer recycling, a way of preventing identity theft if you want to sell a computer, and a good way to totally clean a Microsoft Windows installation of viruses and spyware. DBAN prevents or thoroughly hinders all known techniques of hard disk forensic analysis."

HSSVSS Home Security Video System

The software runs in the background and relies on the cameras optical sensors to detect motion within the range of a camera's vision field. When motion is detected, the software automatically starts capturing either time-lapse movies or full motion AVI movies of whatever is moving in the camera's field of vision. A two camera mode supports recording two angles or motion detection in multiple rooms. All recordings are time-stamped to provide exact times of motion for intrusion detection reports. Export images to the Web via FTP, email surveillance reports, or output the video signal to a television. This is a very affordable solution for setting up home surveillance systems with image quality only limited by the cameras connected to the software. [Windows 2k/XP $0.00]"
