| How To Save Twitter Links To Pocket Or Other Bookmarking Services Posted: 23 Oct 2014 10:00 AM PDT  Social networks are great for sharing links. However, Twitter’s fast-paced nature means that those links are difficult to track — whether shared by others or even those you post yourself. Don’t worry, there’s always technology to make things easier. There are several good reasons to use Twitter, but personally, I find it best to read interesting links. I’d argue that the people you follow on Twitter are those with similar views or interests as you have. Given how often people share links on the micro-blogging network, eventually, that means Twitter turns into a fantastic social-powered list of must-read items. So...

| Make Your Own Wireless Printer With A Raspberry Pi Posted: 23 Oct 2014 09:00 AM PDT  Wireless technology is perhaps the best improvement to home printing for years. Fewer cables, flexibility about where you can put your printer – it’s win-win. Unless you have an older printer. While it might be easy enough to buy a new printer for under $50, you might have spent enough on your last one, and be unable to justify the outlay. Additionally, your old printer might have a special function, or manage duplexing in a particularly satisfying way, to bother replacing it. The solution, then, is to make it wireless. Several solutions are available, but one popular choice is to use... Read the full article: Make Your Own Wireless Printer With A Raspberry Pi |

| Get Great Ideas With Random Browsing & Serendipity Posted: 23 Oct 2014 07:00 AM PDT  Thank randomness. We would be jelly-like protoplasm if some cells hadn’t decided to try some random mutations at some point in time. Now that we are all fully formed, let’s also thank it for cornflakes and LSD.

Creativity owes a lot to chance and accidental discoveries. Going by the popular anecdote of the fruit falling on Newton’s head, give randomness some room for uncovering a few serendipitous ideas in your everyday lives. Before you do that,...
