There really isn’t a good excuse to keep on using IE6 in 2011 you know? So why not use a little part of your day, since most people are off from work in the US right now, to go and upgrade your parents/grand parents’ browser? And even if you’re from somewhere else, just use your next visit to your old folks’ place as an opportunity to do it. They probably won’t mind all that much (at least they won’t in 2-3 weeks once they get used to the new interface), and you’ll be doing everybody a huge service in making the Intertubes a more secure place.

The University of Michigan marching band is going viral – their November 19th halftime show featured music from a number of popular online videos, from Sexy Sax Man to Nyan Cat. Though probably the most clever formation echos OK Go’s Here It Goes Again.
The set is a little problematic in that there is a lot of time spent with the band just standing there while videos play, but the integration with the big screen is pretty neat. And kudos to whoever composed the arrangements of these recognizable tunes!
Schematics are the functional diagram of electronic circuits. With so many designs available on the web, understanding how to read schematics can unlock a world of possibilities for the electronics maker.
