Interactive Headstones: Bringing Technology To The Cemetery
I know this is a morbid thought, but what if we schedule some tweets, and then we die, and those tweets go out afterwards on schedule? They'll literally be tweets from a ghost.

Almost All Social Media Gurus Are Clowns…
The title of this article may be quite a sting for some people, especially the social media gurus (or the ones that call themselves that). Whichever way you look at it though, it it's actually true... at least according to Gary Vaynerchuk, the wine emperor who started from nothing, or almost at leas ...

As a kid, my brother and I were always talking about the ultimate soapbox car, and how it would be built. We had a couple of runs building some, which to our amazement, were quite fast and cool.

I have come to love the way people reformat the methods of creating cool art. For a long time, it has all been about making something advanced, extravagant and time consuming, which will make people go numb just thinking about the work that must have gone into it. However, there is an edge here that ...
