Ideally we would not have a plethora of unrelated portals, wikis, blogs and other data sources linked only by Google searches. Wouldn't it be nice if wikiHow was just a virtual view onto How To data across the whole internet?

So much easier now with modern computers and synths.

Let There Be Light

Divxstation - Ambilight for BSplayer

Interesting project to build an Ambilight like system. Down side is it needs the playback to be happening on a PC, but with a decent media pc this is not a real problem.
