Hey Friends,
I have precisely 12 minutes 37 seconds spare so I'm starting this blog to update you on the creation of my next solo CD.

I was hanging out in the Turbulence Training forum yesterday and someone responded to my use of the phrase "Shred On!" He posted a pic and said that every time he hears it, it reminds him of THE SHREDDER! So of course, I just HAD to look it up.
Who is "The Shredder" you ask? Adam Waters? Tom Venuto? You? ...Why no, he's that handsome devil above.

Yesterday, the Shredder+ Team kicked off Day 1 of the July "Fat to Phat" Nike+ Challenge. The goal? To log as many miles as possible in the month of July. This is more of a competition with ourselves to break old boundaries and limiting mindsets, and post "personal bests" while having fun and supporting each other along the way.

When we delete the files from our computers, do you think these files are permanently deleted? Pressing the delete button does not confirm that these files are deleted and there is no reason to believe it. Because you must have experienced undoing such commands can recover the files. Basically deleted files are only marked as deleted and removed from indexing of the file system. While you are the only one using your laptop or desktop computer system, you should be less tensed while deleting the files because you can always recover such files. You might believe that if you use Shift + Delete, you are permanently deleting the files without any recovery option, right! But it’s not completely true. There are many tools in market today, that can recover even Shift + deleted files from the system. And this can become very dangerous when you are throwing off your old harddisk or your colleagues or friends using your computer system. Your private files and data might be exposed to other
By: Forest Schellenberg Have you considered buying a paper shredder? In this age of information swapping, it's much more important to protect your vital personal, client, or business information than ever before. Pharmacies, doctor's offices, post offices, institutions, colleges, and many more important places have to dispose of paperwork in a safe and secure manner.All paper shredders are not alike. They do require the person shop around and compare prices and features, security levels, size, and power. If you are just an individual wishing to shred your incoming junk mail and old records, you wouldn't need an industrial size shredder. If you are a business with more than one or two employees, you might want to consider an industrial size shredder depending on the volume of your discarded papers.There are paper shredders that cut up the paper in different manners. This may seem like an unnecessary feature to the average person, but it would matter to the office that has strictly co

If you're serious about composting, or at least consciously aware that recycling is more essential than convenient, then you'll need one of these bad-boys in your gardening arsenal.
For months I've been piling up all my prunings in a large heap that was beginning to resemble the Helotes pile. And every trip I'd take to Bunnings included sauntering down one aisle in particular - the garden chipper shredder row.
I'd researched the model. Found the best prices. I'd even crafted a scale replica from a single piece of stone...Nah, that's taking it a little far. But you get the gist. I wanted...needed...a garden shredder - yesterday!
And then I got one.
Now my life is in a state of euphoric bliss as I power my way through tonnes of half-rotting twigs and branches.
The model: Alko. Size: 1600watts. Price: A$90. I can see you're impressed! As I was.
This garden chipper shredder is now my favourite garden tool because I can finally continue to prune my trees and shrubs knowing
By Sam MillerA computer file shredder was created for the same purpose as the paper file shredder. The intent is to complete obliterate not only the file, but in the most secure file shredder software, any reference to the file that was shredded is also shredded in the history and in the directory. Many people do not realize that a computer file that is deleted doesn't go away, it still resides on the hard drive or disc--it just doesn't have a name any more, so there is no easy way to access it.Someone who knows how to search computer files can fairly easily determine where the data is on the drive and recover the information. This works until the data is written over with other files, which may not happen for a long time. Even if the information is over written once, in many cases, the information underneath the top layer can be accessed, using sophisticated equipment.In essence, what a file shredder does is to overwrite the file.

Hitting "Del" key doesn't delete the files from your disk. It only deletes its directory information so that it is not listed and identified by the operating system. But do you know, there are several softwares available, which can easily retrieve this file, leading to possible misuse of it by some unscrupulous person. Frightened, you need not. There are many programs available on the Internet, which does the shredding job for you. In fact they usually re-write the target file with a random string of data multiple times and thus make it unusable, even after retrieval. File Shredder (Download here, 1.5 Mb) is one such program, and it is free. It use five different algorithms to shred the target file into binary pieces. So next time you want to completely feel secured, use these softwares.

Not for animal lovers, this hamster-powered shredder also doubles as a cage for your furry friends. No word yet on if this concept will go into production. Hit the jump for another picture. Not only is paper shredded (without using a shred of electricity), but it then gets chewed up and woven into a nest, and even possibly eaten, digested, and turned into hamster poop
Artist Tom Ballhatchet's "Hamster Shredder" is an ingenious hack -- the hamster-powered paper-shredder fills the cage with shredded paper bits that the rodent can use to line its nest.From Boing Boing.
How handy is this portable shredder, imagine that you are out and about, but you have papers that need to dispose of, if you throw than in the bin, you could find yourself in trouble.
This is where the portable shredder comes into its own, it is powered by the USB, so it is completely portable, or it can run on four AA batteries.
The device weighs in at around 12 ounces and is about ten inches in length, which means an average sized piece of paper, which is fine. This is a good little gadget that will come in very handy all of the time, no matter where you are or what you are doing.
No mention on price as of yet though.

Portable USB Paper Shredder: "Ah yes, perfect for shredding those uber-sensitive Starbucks receipts on the fly. Just plug in via USB and begin shredding.

By the way, I think this is the smallest USB shredder we’ve seen yet. Now what to do with all those shreddings…(Via Ministry of Tech.)
Whenever you delete some files from your system, the file is actually not erased from the system, only the index pointing to the file is destroyed, but the file's data can still be recovered. When you delete a file on your computer, the data in that file can remain on your hard drive for weeks or even months until something else overwrites the space that it occupied. Even if the file no longer appears in recycle bin, they can still be recovered. This poses a security threat because if anyone else has access to your system, he/she can recover deleted files and the confidential data. If you want to permanently delete your file, you can use Super Shredder. SuperShredder works by destroying the data inside the file BEFORE it deletes the file from the system - in this way ensuring that someone can't come back at a later date and retrieve sensitive material. In order to delete a file you can use the program to create a Send-To Menu Association(see above f
Last week, as part of our Saturday series of 60s-70s kitchens, you were lucky to get color...this week, "the quintessential 70s kitchen." We havesoffits pattern on the soffitsbrown woodcathedral arched doorsthat little rail molding around the hoodpale yellow formica countertopsperfectly finished beams spread far aparta tightly patterned floorcabinets over the peninsulaHow lovely. And, for extra pattern, we have the brick surfaced island. I must admit, I'm a little intimidated by the iron work on the end of the island. It freaks me out a little. See where the dishwasher is on the angle? I hope that floor isn't a rug, because the dishes would be dripping from the sink to the corner. What is in between the sink and dishwasher, is a compactor, another favorite appliance from yesteryear. The whole thing looks pretty choppy to me. And, the hood looks out of proportion to the island, too big and boxy, the whole island thing. But, even though I criticize, I'm sure many people
So, kitchen fans, today's kitchen is from the "Yellow Period". Or is it from the "Brick with Black Grout Period" or, as I said another week, from the "Lionel Richie Dancing on the Ceiling Period"!Look, good for the homeowners. My guess is they were very happy, cheerful, optimistic people, don't you think? Good for them, that they had the guts to go for it! Linda from Surroundings, can we even go down this road, as a companion for the bachelorette pad??It looks apparent to me that someone had the foresight to recess the, normally monolithic, refrigerator. My guess is this was done because they wanted to have much more space on the opposite side, although that area is not shown. I also guess that the emphasis for, and placement of, ample counter space was on the other side because of the radius cutouts on each side of the cooktop. Which makes me wonder if the refrigerator could have been positioned where the desk is, thus allowing for much more space surr

Today is a special day. At The Parrish Museum in Southampton, New York, there currently is running an exhibition on Raymond Loewy, the most prominent industrial designer of the 20th Century. Raymond Loewy designed everything from cars to silverware to broiler ovens during his five decades of work. The 1950s proved to be a period of great interest in the kitchen for Raymond Loewy as he designed many useful products for both efficiency and his new, modern, aesthetic. The "Raymond Loewy: Designs for a Consumer Culture" exhibition includes today's talk at the Museum, at which I, along with several other speakers, will speak on American kitchens today. My topic will be "Comfort in the Kitchen." The exhibition is ongoing through May 27. I will also be talking about design blogs! If you were at this event, please add your comments to this post. Tell us about the exhibit, what you learned, how you feel about kitchens, your kitchen, etc. Whatever you'd like to add,
Here's an interesting image! Time again for "Nostalgia or Shredder Material." In design school, I learned of the element of "continuity." It appears that this designer did too. Of course, if this is a 70s kitchen, we must have yellow and gold, and some orange too. That hanging lamp was a typical lamp of the 70s, I forget the name it was called. The cooktop is on the rear wall. Makes me wonder if there is actually wallpaper behind the cooktop!?One thing we know for sure...they are very important people! See the two phones?It's fun to look at these images. I think there is a LOT to learn too. Pattern was very important in this little micro time period, it seems pattern anywhere and everywhere, it almost was a measure of creativity, how many patterns could be used together or over how much square footage it could cover. I'll just bet that the ceiling was considered too. To me, the strict symmetry of the cabinetry and the constant pattern equals a dead feeling, void
I’m always on the lookout for interesting but practical gadgets and I found this one over at Technabob. The hamster runs in the wheel, shredding your papers and creating his own bedding.

Another, “Ar you sure this is not April 1st” invention. Boing boing found this invention that is a shredder that is powered by a hamster. And then the shredded paper lines the bottom of the hamster page. Ingenious or weird?

Welcome, once again, to "Kitchen Nostalgia or Shredder Material". Here is what I suppose is trying to be a rustic style kitchen. What really stands out is the lime green countertop. There is a wild and crazy piece of me, deep down somewhere, that LIKES this odd combination of green and very light wood, I'm not kidding. Not that I would design that today, not to worry! That said, NOT with the large, stone backsplash. And not with plaid wallpaper! That's really an odd combination, isn't it? Also, during this time period, it seems so many kitchens had this railing that goes over the top of the cabinets. Here are a few other little observations:the hood - this is a hood design that I am not fond of...the hood projection but with the backer panel meant to tie into the surrounding cabinets. I say just do a whole separate hood and see the wall space around the hood, thus, accentuating/featuring the hood.The little triangular eating area. I think it's nearly non functional. Look
Hello, and welcome to our fifth installment of "Kitchen Nostalgia or Shredder Material". I understand that in some areas of the country, the winters are very long, and spring seems like it will never come. Thus, protection from the elements is taken very seriously, and a necessary consideration. There is some very serious cabin fever going on here, bringing it, um, to an entirely different level!Well, I can say that the brown range is back in style! We're looking today at a resurgance in brown, now called "oil rubbed bronze". The Kitchen Designer says, however, that this new look is NO EXCUSE to revert back to this style of kitchen! The kitchen police will be out in force, dispatched from The Kitchen Desginer blog, should we have notice of infractions. Be very afraid!Besides the interesting look of this kitchen, let's look at a few things going on here and have even more fun:See the small ceiling fixture and the two large pendant fixtures. The lighting is way off
Welcome to this Saturday's special vintage kitchen, aka, "Bauhaus meets Disco"! I don't know why, (hmmm) but this one just popped out at me, as I perused my collection of vintage kitchens from the 60s and 70s. I think this kitchen was ahead of its time (for the early 60s), or perhaps was at the cusp of the disco era? You KNOW we need this kitchen lighting in the center of the ceiling! Get out your platform shoes and start dancing!Not a badly planned kitchen, really, although I'd love to understand what's going on with that second island up front, where and how that is positioned in the room. Otherwise, the wall cabinets to the right of the refrigerator should have been equal size sets of doors. I'm not sure I could concentrate on reading a recipe in this kitchen, and I'm also not sure I'd go stir crazy after 20 minutes! Other than that, enjoy!Oh - almost forgot today's bonus feature that I mentioned yesterday! For another vintage treat, from the blog Fabulon, take a l
So, here we are with our third installment of "nostalgia or shredder material", ancient kitchens from the 60s and 70s.

The one thing this kitchen has going for it is that it was secretly made to coordinate with this web page, a project begun 40 years ago in a remote hamlet of western Oklahoma, being planned to later emerge from the kitchen graveyard for the WORLD to enjoy see gape at in March, 2007.

I apologize in advance for the rude and (tasteless) reminder of years past, but I couldn't resist! I don't know why I thought of this kitchen catalog that I've had since forever. Before I went out on my own in the very early 90s, the kitchen showroom that I managed had some VERY old catalogs hanging around. When they closed (I swear it wasn't anything I did) I collected a few of these catalogs. I think I may have another few around from other years, but this was the only one I found. I've even made a category just for memorializing these kitchens. I mean, look, after all, orange is back in! Chant with me now: NEVER AGAIN!!Can you guess the year? AND, how many jokes can we make about this kitchen?
