  • I did a double take at first, this little guy is from Wikkaninnish Island?!? I’m amazed she was found, there’s only a handful of cabins on there and last time I was there, only 2 permanent residents. I know one has passed away since then. I used to stay there with a friend at their family’s cabin, I miss the place, beautiful island with interesting history.





  • If a consumer watches something on their Apple TV and then presses the pause button, a Roku TV set could use either audio or video-based content recognition technologies (known in the industry as ACR) to identify what’s being watched, match the current scene to a database and extract relevant information to pair an ad with it.

    Wow somehow their idea is even worse than I imagined, glad I don’t own a Roku now.











  • I had 2 great finds so far:

    1: A David Clark noise cancelling aviation headset. It was used and a bit old but still worked perfectly. I was a student pilot at the time and was using the cheap headsets the school had so this was an awesome find. I think whoever put the pricing on it saw the weird plugs without knowing what it was and priced it at $5. I remember seeing them on ebay used for around $600.

    2: A old network drive full of pirated content and porn from the early 2000’s. I don’t know what the fuck teenage me was thinking hooking this up to my PC without any idea what was on it but it ended up being a hilarious find. I think it was shared between a bunch of roommates as each folder was named after someone. It was an IDE drive so I made a backup (for reasons), wiped it, and now use it in a PS2. Think that was around $5 also.
