Stumbling

Jan 7th, 2009 | By | Category: Tech and the Net

What I’ve been finding interesting in stumbleupon this week Image of the internet and communication cables that are beneath the worlds seas and oceans: I remember studying communications in college and the look of disbelief on individuals faces when they where told that there are cables that run the entire length of the Atlantic ocean, [...]



Stumbling

Dec 31st, 2008 | By | Category: Tech and the Net

I use stumbleupon a lot… I mean a lot. Pretty much, whenever I have a free second in work or at home I’m hitting the stumble button. So I thought I’d post a daily link to what I’m liking on stumble today: 3D Battlefield Heroes Model: I’ve been waiting for this game for ages. They [...]
