Hey, You. Don’t Drink That. Listen to This.

Gizmodo AU

There is a ridiculous amount of instant coffee drunk at the desk from which this post is originating. So much so, that I am constantly reminded to ease off before it kills me. But according to this online calculator, I could drink about 20x more than I already do and still live. Just. (Yes, it’s a slow day.)

Firewire 400/800 Converters. Going Cheap(er)

Gizmodo AU

When Apple updated its MacBook Pros and dropped support for Firewire 400 ports, the company conveniently (for them) ignored the fact that many creatives, especially camcorder users, were left high and dry.

Gizmodo AU

It’s match day. Everything we’ve done before has been leading up to this moment. Socks are pulled up. Jerseys cleaned and pressed. Shorts are still short.
