What it do, world.
Oh man, oh man. My Kanye shades arrived!!
Driving with these on is not a crime because looking fly and committing a crime can never occur in conjunction with one another.*

I was rummaging around my files and found this old (but still useful) Flash program from days gone by. It has been noted in the past that ArcStone is a hotbed of tea consumption.
Since we are so busy it’s often hard to time the perfect steep, resulting in a bitter and undrinkable liquid. My solution was to create the Steep Master 1000, an interactive steep timing system.
Keep reading for detailed operating instruction for the Steep Master 1000 and tips on creating the perfect steep.
Gizmodo had the privilege of interviewing Mr. Microsoft himself (Bill Gates) at the CES trade show. In this clip Bill discusses the strengths, weaknesses, and general differences between Microsoft and Apple.
Raving fanboys of either company may be taken slightly off guard by the clip. Bill gives props to both his own company and bitter rival Apple.
In truth, both companies are responsible for some amazing products, and any true nerd knows this, including Mr. Gates.
Adobe’s new suite of design tools is fantastic, if you can get it installed. As I discovered today, if you have any CS3 trial software installed prior to doing your real installation there can be a few bumps in the road.
On my first attempt I was offered a rather puzzling reason for the software’s failure to install, as you can see from the picture above. It turns out the transition from trial to licensed software is so arduous Adobe has gone as far as to release tools to aid you in the process.
Perhaps I am too optimistic in thinking Adobe’s latest cutting edge software offerings would come equipped with equally impressive installers.
Oh well, maybe in CS4.
A new study proves what I have known for a long time: a fun office environment is a productive one. At ArcStone we believe in this so much, it is even part of our core values.

To all my past bosses who frowned on my antics: I told you so.
Part blog, part polling system, Oobject picks topics of interest and lets users submit their top picks, sort of like a pageant of gadgets. Sometimes the lists are full of beautiful things, old things, or just supremely weird things.
Each day a new topic is highlighted for users to peruse. I urge you to take a look, there is a good chance you’ll see something you never knew existed.
I just read an article that literally (and metaphorically) blew me away.
Scientists have uncovered a source of clean power that could generate enough energy to provide over 100 times the current global demand. The jet stream. Duh – rather obvious if you think about it – a massive swath of 310 mile per hour winds blowing day and night…
There are currently several start-ups looking to tap into the jet streams power – there is some hope!
You are paying for 7MB of pure, broadband DSL speed, but are you getting it? To know for sure check out Broadband reports speed test. After you’re done (and presumably disappointed) browse through the rest of their site. It’s a great resource for all sorts of information, tools, and networking goodness.
Here is my result:
