Friday Night Links (10/16/2009)…
I’ve got some awesome stuff in the queue for next week with some more of The Digitante In Action! I built a computer for a client over the weekend and I am going to write up a How To on building a computer. The one I built can handle most tasks aside from graphics intensive applications such as games and HD movie making. The parts cost $270 plus another $100 if you want Windows 7 on it. We’ll cover more of the details on Monday.
Now let’s meander through the land o’ links:
- BudgetSketch (http://thedig.in/3i) – The video talks about how most financial software (Mint for example) does a great job of telling what your money had been doing, however, it doesn’t do so well at planning where your money will go in the future. BudgetSketch does just that: plan your future spending so you know where you will stand at all times. And with a cost of FREE, the you won’t have to pencil BudgetSketch into your budget.
- NFL Sunday Night Football (http://thedig.in/3j) – This was by far the most excited about a link that I have been in awhile. You can watch the game on your computer in case you are away from your television. But it isn’t just the game, there are DVR features (rewind, pause), multiple camera angles (and the cameras keep rolling on commercials), and check up on the stats via the sidebar. I might actually start watching Sunday Night Football via the web instead of on the TV.
- Penny Stove (http://thedig.in/3k) – Ever been trapped in the woods with only denatured and a beer can? Me neither, but don’t let that stop you from building this cool little stove to cook some bacon, some rice, your forearm, what ever you have on you! I have a feeling I might be playing with a little bit of fire this weekend.
- Fiber-Optic Starscape (http://thedig.in/3l) – If the thought of being trapped out in the woods with only denatured alcohol and a beer can frightens you, you could try camping out under a starlit sky that you created yourself. The article mentions that it is very time consuming but I have a feeling that you could save a great deal of time by putting up random stars instead of mapping out the actual sky. But then again, I am a slacker.
