Welcome to my spam-blog!

It would seem that my Motorsport Madness blog is considered a “spam blog” by blogger.com, and I can’t get them to review my site or respond to me. Now I’ve see many spam blogs on blogger.com or blogspot.com (whatever you prefer), and I find them COS THEY’RE ROTATING THEM TO YOU IN THEIR SYSTEM, but alas, I’m not rotating in the system and can’t seem to get there – cos I’m considered a spam blogger.

Can Cell Phones Harm Your Health?

It seems like everywhere a person goes there is at least one person in view with a cell phone to their ear whether it is on the road, in a store, in a parking lot, walking down the street, etc. Even in places where cell phone usage is banned such as concert halls or movie theaters there is the occasional offender, or more likely, at least a few people using the text messaging feature on their phone.

Biometrics, ID cards, tagging, DNA kits being pushed on kids

DNA kit for Kids

(excerpts from the article)
I was shopping for groceries at my Local Albertsons when I saw the all too familiar Child Fingerprinting tables.

The company even suggests tagging children like they are dogs.

Ventilating a hard drive case

In this project we’re working on ventilating a Hard Drive case.

This case is for housing an external IDE hard drive and interfacing it to USB 2.0

 Non-vented vents (5.38 kbs)

The case comes with a small fan, but I’d say it’s just for looks, as it only has micro-slots for the air to come out of. There are slightly bigger holes in the front for the air intake, but not by much.

So what’s the deal? The hard drive gets hot! There’s no airflow.

Our mission - to ventilate it!

The project involves routing out the fan slots to increase the non-existent air flow.

Let’s get to it! (Read the article)

From Dark Ages to PDA’s

What’s a man to do about a PDA today? I’m sure I’m not the only one that has been in the dark ages, and is now looking at getting a PDA…. but I look and look and look, and can’t find anyone that has a good review on, basically, all the PDA’s, like a history outline. Tell me when they came out, what features they have, pro/con, comparisons, PDA Brands – HP, Dell, Toshiba, Sony, Palm, Acer, …

Where does the Internet out-of-pocket expense end?

It’s out of hand. Where does this Internet money grabbing stop? The fees keep piling up, little by little, and you would have never got into the internet if someone told you it was going to cost this much.
