Say what you want but it’s getting hotter and it’s our fault. We’re driving around in cars and flying around in planes. We’re running refrigerators and air conditioners and erupting volcanoes left and right. Alright, we can’t really take credit for volcano eruptions, but all that other stuff is sort of within our grasp.  I [...]

Facebook has just upgraded their pages layout and system to catch up with the recently rolled out profile layouts. You now have your recent photos along the top, the wall/info/photos/links/etc bit is now on the left-hand side underneath the picture- exactly like regular people pages. All of this will surely kick up a little shitstorm [...]

And, do I care? Not really. I must admit that I still need to try it out, but the original Twitter for Android has left quite a bad aftertaste. Syncing with your contact list was buggy. The UI was counter-intuitive. Opening up the app didn’t send you to your timeline (this new version apparently does), [...]

It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything here. I’ve had a look at some of the dates as I was doing the overhaul and there’s been no major activity for over a year. With this announcement I also hope to end this long lull of nothingness. So fickle gods has undergone some major [...]

RalphvandenBerg.com has just moved the design version into the third iteration. Graphics have improved with the help of great software from adobe’s CS4 and the underlying coding has been streamlined, cleaned up and made more efficient. One of the first things we’ll notice is the “floating” navigation bar. It’ll stay in your view giving you [...]

This morning Mozilla officially released the first beta for Firefox 3.6. Man! It’s quick! It’s that quicky responsive feeling like you get in chrome. Very nice. After I installed this version of Firefox, the first thing I noticed was ALL my extensions were incompatible. This reminded me how much I actually depend on them- my [...]

We get our fair share of junk email at the office, like everybody we’re always eager to find great deals on v!4gr4!!! This time however, we received an email from some nut [you know who you are!] that had 20 or so images of a cow getting butchered. It’s not some amazing or strange thing [...]

Animated GIFs are usually really annoying, continuously looping, low quality animations- but admittedly there are a few funny ones out there. To save you the trouble, I’ve brought a bunch together for you. I don’t claim ownership over any of these. Nobody can. They have been circulating through forums by the immature and forwarded emails [...]

I don’t know if it was just me, but one of the things I noticed is that the robots in Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen had learned a few new words. It’s almost as if they forgot swearwords in the first movie, and felt that they had to make up for it in the [...]

These days there is something we come to expect from Stephen King novels when they come to the screen. I have to admit that I’ve never read one of his books; I’m not a big book reader at all. Horror and / or scariness is done very well. Besides public speaking, the unknown is something [...]
