The old hardware can be made useful by loading it with open source operating systems like GNU/Linux. [via] Link.

A couple interesting thing on my fav DIY news channel, RocketBoom. On today’s show they previewed a clip for a new video blog with John Edwards.

RocketBoom also launched a new site called Apollo Pony that has a lot of video clips from around the web.
