    Nintendo To Post Unexpected Loss As Wii-U Falters

    We considered buying a Wii U for our two boys this Christmas. Then we realised that they would fight endlessly over who would get to use the single controller when playing games together. I don't know who thought that having one controller was a good idea, but I guarantee they don't have two...

    Post your Workstation 2012

    Yup, wire for jewelry (nicholasandfelice on Etsy). Used to be only earrings but because of the insanely large market online our big seller these days is shawl pins she bends out of 9 ga. aluminum wire. We make our living almost entirely off of Etsy these days. I do a line of CNC milled and die...

    Post your Workstation 2012

    My desk. Don't laugh at the Dell...(through a series of happy accidents at Dell Outlet it was $160 for the XPS with a i5-750, and I've upgraded it a bit.) You can see a bit of my son's monitor through the hole in the wall. My wife's workstation. She's an Etsy machine. Notice the cheap...

    Turn a PC Off or Leave It On?

    I shut all the PCs in the house off at night to save a small amount of money, cut down on heat and noise. Some only get turned on once or twice a week but we have at least 7 that get turned on for most of the day. The one PC I leave on is in our detached barn/studio - it keeps the temperature...
