Easily Hot Swap SATA Hard Drives With HotSwap!

30 Sep 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 2 Comments
When I got my first glimpse of a “big kid job” by taking an engineering internship in 2008, I quickly realized that my strategy of “save enough money for food” wasn’t going to cut it anymore. Since I was earning significantly more than I was at my previous part-time jobs, I needed a way to track my income (and more importantly, my newfound city expenses like higher rent). Mint.com is a...

28 Sep 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 1 Comment
If you’ve ever tried opening an RSS feed in Google Chrome, you may have been dismayed to find that it does a horrible job of handling them. RSS feeds (like ours) are meant to provide an easy subscription method to a website, allowing you to view your favorite websites all in one place with an RSS aggregator like Google Reader.

Busy people, rejoice. Gmail, the primary electronic mail client offered by the giant Google, is getting a simple add-on sometime in the near future (it’s actually rolling out right now, but it will be a week before everybody has it).

25 Aug 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 1 Comment
One of my favorite features in Windows 7 is Aero Snap, which automatically resizes and snaps applications to the sides of your screen when you drag them near.

My favorite way to use Aero Snap is with the keyboard R...

What, no bean dip? So its time to plan a party. The chips and dip are out, the chilled beverages are chilling, the mood lighting is set to “groovy,” and the music is…wait.
