The powerful, underused, and very cool bookmarklets are revealed.

“… this new type of bookmark out there on the horizon, if not already here, is actually worth using and have a very bright future. They’re called… Bookmarklets, and they actually DO THINGS. Make your life easier…”

The Official TDKN Wallpapers Are Here!

// July 13th, 2010 // No Comments » // Entertainment, Fun, Life, Photos, Tech, TechKnowledgey

Yep! It’s true! TDKN stands for The Devir Kahan Network.

Oh, that’s not what this post is about.

Either way, yes, after the valiant and kind effort of LetsTalkPC on YouTube*, TDKN now has 4 wallpapers at the time of this post. I say at the time of this post, because I welcome anyone to make some more (in as high a resolution as possible)! I’ll add them to the Flickr album and give ‘em a quick plug on Twitter.

All that jazz aside though, here is the Flickr album of all the wallpapers.

Some of them are really quite cool, so go ahead and set them as your wallpaper if you would like! I’m not going to force you or anything (I’m not sure how legal that would be), but I have already gotten a few emails from people saying they are using it on their desktop.

*To be honest, the 4th wallpaper was actually made by someone else, who’s name escapes me (or rather, my inbox search).

Organization Nation [TechKnowledgey Ep.1 S.2]

// July 12th, 2010 // No Comments » // Electronics, Gadgets, Life, Tech, TechKnowledgey

Welcome to an all new Season 2 of TechKnowledgey that is going to be even better than the first!

“…being organized, especially when it comes to technology, is just incredibly important for so many reasons. And I believe that anyone has the ability to be organized. They just need the right utensils and tools, which is exactly what this episode of TechKnowledgey is all about. So sit back, relax, and join the organization nation…”

Hey. Firstly, you don’t have to answer this question if you don’t want to. How do your peers at school etc. react when they see your YouTube channel and site etc? [As asked on FormSpring]

// July 7th, 2010 // No Comments » // Blog, Education, General, Internet, Life, Media, School, Tech

Good question!

At first people thought it was kind of “out there”, but I think as time went on, people thought it was just a “thing”. Just like anyone else plays basketball, or is a “bookworm”, so I had a website and have a bunch of viewers.

I was nervous at first too, and I always have trouble with the line “don’t worry what others think”, but I just did it. It’s become more of a topic of conversation now with me. Maybe always in a joking way, but never anything truly bad.

Have I gotten the occasional strange, or awkward comment? Sure, but it bounces off.

Maybe I’m just lucky. But I’m not the ONLY one, you know :)

Why don’t you have a gaming console? [As asked on FormSpring]

// June 21st, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Community, Entertainment, Games, Hardware, Life, Media, Tech

I’m just not a big gamer like that. Yet, at least. I like the occasional computer game, and such, but my family has just never gotten a console.

Would I want one? Sure. Do I have one? No.

For now…
