Making a cheap bookshelf using milk-crates

A couple weekends ago, my girlfriend and myself came up with the idea to make custom bookshelf using milk-crates. We didn’t actually have any milk crates, so we had to scour sites like Kijiji and Craigslist to find people in our area giving them away, or selling them cheaply. We also aquired some from a small corner store we visit frequently, first for free, then having to pay small amounts for them until we cleared them out!...

Compiling Hyperion for Phillips Hue support on Mac OSX

I’ve been looking at the Lightberry for a little while now and have been thinking about how I’ll be implementing it once I actyually buy it and add it to my setup. The Lightberry is pretty cool, it works with a Raspberri Pi and a bunch of video grabbing / repeating so you can get lights behind your television that look like those really expensive TV’s for about 1/10th of the cost....

Nerd Alert! Share Mouse & Keyboard between Several PC’s with no KVM.

Came across this pretty badass application today. It’s called Synergy-Plus. Basically it allows you to manage multiple computers, with a single mouse and keyboard (and monitor(s)…). All this without the use of VNC software, or KVM software. So, what’s this mean? Well, if you’re like me and have a bunch of computers humming along you may want this. For example, one computer that you may be using Traktor or Ableton Live on, one that you’re checking stats on and one that you do your work on, you can quickly and easily drag your mouse across to each of them when required....

ASW 2010 Reflections & Ad:Tech San Francisco Projections

It’s been just a little bit over a month since my return from Affiliate Summit 2010. I was embarrassingly slow writing this post because of business picking up. This did give me an opportunity to somewhat sit back for the past 30 days, and think about what I learned, what changed me and best of all how it affected (or, didn’t affect) my business. Last summer was my first visit to an Affiliate Summit, which I went to in New York City, I thought it was a great time, and a lot of people to meet – however, I was still pretty newb at that point so I really wasn’t sure what kinds of questions I was supposed to be asking, who I should be talking to or even the right lingo to use....
