Ever wanted to use OS X, but couldn't bring yourself to shell out that much cash?
This might be for you.
"Looks like a Mac. Feels like a Mac."
But it's an HP.
Check it out. I'm never going to get one by any means (unless someone sends me one), as I already have Mac hardware to run OS X, but the idea is kind of neat. Need to find someone to review it now to see how well it actually holds up performance wise.

Academic Torrents
Just found a new site today through HN that might be worth checking out:
http://academictorrents.com/
A ton of data is being shared by numerous colleges and researchers. This makes finding that information a little easier.
If you're working on a research project, I'd suggest checking it out!

Finding Academic Resources using Google
Just a quick tip on finding academic resources using Google search.
Say you want to search for something like resources on a piece of software and only want searches from academic institutions returned. The benefit to this is that most of this material will be reliable and has been vetted by these institutions.
In a Google search, use the format of:
.edu::search topic
Where search topic is the item that you are looking for. For example,
.edu::wireshark
Will return all instances of .edu websites containing information about the packet analyzing software wireshark.
Another example would be searching for courses on networking.
.edu::networking course
The above will return a list of networking courses offered by various institutions. You can then go on and find all the related course notes, examples, and homework to follow along.
Give it a try for any type of research topics or to help you find a course you would like to study.

Summer Update
Wow, it's been a while since I've written to here.
Things at work are busy busy busy. New hardware has been arriving and still needs to get out into the rooms. That will ensure the remainder of summer stays busy as well.
I've been collecting a lot of movies. I'm up to around the 700's currently. Lots of classics, horror movies, and old favorites from childhood
Pokemon Go seems to be the hit app of the summer. I've been enjoying getting outside and playing that in my spare time. Even made it to the front of the newspaper when I got interviewed about it. I've seen a lot of good coming out of it too for many communities.
Hopefully, I can start writing here more and get into some more projects to share with everyone. Possibly in the next few days I can get some fun content up on here.
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their summer!
