I know I’m well over a week late for this one, but this is one of those things that was just too hilarious to pass up – the single worst custom computer build video that I think most people have ever watched! At least, as far as serious videos go, anyway. The video, published on …

So The PlayStation Classic Doesn’t Come With A Power Supply, And That’s Absolutely Fine
This Entry Has Been Superseded By This Article: A Final Commentary On The Whole PlayStation Classic Power Supply Mess When the PlayStation Classic was announced earlier in the week the reception was mixed, with most of the commentary following the same lines as Nintendo’s retro-console entries. There was one complaint that was rather specific to …

ICESat-2 Deployment Video
Since tomorrow morning marks the 1-week anniversary of the final Delta II launch, I thought it would be neat to take a simple look back at the final primary payload deployed by the Delta II – ICESat-2. I already shared this video in my article on the successful launch of the payload, but hey, why …

The PlayStation Classic? Well, This Is Interesting.
In a move straight out of the Nintendo playbook Sony announced a miniature retro console of it’s own called the “Playstation Classic,” a console which, just like the NES and SNES Classic Edition consoles, will contain an emulated set of PlayStation game software along with reproduction controllers, in a package that’s a miniature version of …

So What’s With All The Late Articles?
I feel like I picked the worst month to devote to daily writing. I’ve stayed far busier than I expected to during the past few weeks, and I feel like this isn’t going to change as we move into the last 10 days of September. The good news is that so far I’m at 24 …

Without Context: The Computer Man
Well, at least they tried… No, I don’t know offhand what this is about – it looks to be someone promoting Macintosh systems (against Windows 95 based PC’s) but beyond that, I don’t have a clue right now. I’ll look into it more in the future. Also, this may become a regular thing – …

The Halfway Point
It’s the middle of the month, and I thought I would do a bit of a recap on the whole “one article per day no matter what” project. It’s quite a chore, honestly. Some days don’t permit me too much to be able to write anything substantial, while others, like yesterday, give me all the …

1 Year Ago: The End Of The Cassini Mission
In an interesting coincidence, today marks the 1 year anniversary of Cassini’s Grand Finale – its final plunge into the atmosphere of Saturn, the planet it spent its life studying. It was one hell of an event – after being in space for nearly 20 years (originally launched in 1997 on a Titan IV) and …

At 6:01 A.M. Pacific Time the final Delta II rocket launched from LC-2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base carrying ICESat-2 and a small compliment of CubeSats into orbit.

Delta II ICESat-2 Mission Profile

Blogging Problems – Being Topical, Or Writing About Topics That Last?
I’ve got more normal content coming tomorrow, but for today I wanted to cover a thought I just had with regards to what I write on any given day; a problem that most any blogger will understand and relate to. Should you write about currently trending topics, or about topics which have withstood the test …

So Apple Announced Some New Stuff Today. Good For Them.
It’s funny, over the past few months I’ve had quite an influx of older Apple computer hardware come into my possession – were I any other kind of person you would think I would have been all over the Apple announcements today, but nope. Don’t care. Not in a bad way, just in the “eh, …
