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).

The New Logo

A new logo was created for The Devir Kahan Network and cool round stickers of it were ordered to be affixed to my laptop. In this episode of Byte Sized the new logo is officially shown, and the new sticker finds its place on my MacBook.

Remember to leave your ideas for the logo’s name in the comments below!

I talk briefly about the daily photo sharing site Daily Booth, what my intended uses are for it, and how you can follow me there as well.

My iOS 4 Home-Screens

// June 12th, 2010 // No Comments » // Apple, Electronics, Gadgets, Internet, Life, Media, Photos, Reviews, Software, Tech, iPhone

Considering that I now have iOS 4 installed before it’s official release date, I was able to play around a bit with it’s new (and quite frankly awesome and insanely useful) app organization features. You can now use folders to organize your apps, which is really great for quite a few reasons. I like being organized, and I figured, why not at least show you my new iPod Touch’s Home-Screens (I only have 2 now!) on the new iOS 4. So here they are in all their folder-full glory:

You like?

There are quite a few other nice features as well, and iOS 4 goes live for everyone in just a few more weeks on the (excuse me while I check my calendar…. ah, yes…) 21st of June. Excited? I am.

Just one word: Seriously?!

Some Of The Best Online Quizzes That I Just Recently Found

// May 31st, 2010 // No Comments » // Blog, Comic, Entertainment, Fun, Information, Internet, Life, Media, Photos

How did I just now find out about this place?

It’s called The Oatmeal and it’s just an incredible, genius, and excellently written website. It’s actually all done by ONE (very clever) guy, and the site consists of all these well designed comics, and quizzes about all sorts of things. Unfortunately, words don’t do it justice, nor are they able to explain what makes the site so great. So instead, I’ll show you…

Here are a few of the results from some of the quizzes that I took:

And here are some of my favorite articles that I found browsing around for the past few minutes:

What Your Email Address Says About Your Computer Skills

I was CRACKING UP when I read this one: Why I’d Rather Be Punched In The Testicles Than Call Customer Service

I happened to know most of these: 10 Words You Need To Stop Misspelling

Another incredibly funny, and yet so upsettingly true one: Why I Believe Printers Were Sent From Hell

And you can see a whole lot more here.

Like I said, I’m not quite sure how I only just discovered this site, but what I am sure about is that I will be checking back on The Oatmeal pretty frequently now to see what they’re up to over there. I mean, you can just browse around on this sort of a site for hours, and find just a ton of funny, interesting, cool, and clever articles. Go check it out for yourself!

A Quick Tech Setup Picture

// May 30th, 2010 // 2 Comments » // Apple, Blog, Byte Sized, Electronics, Fun, Gadgets, General, Hardware, Life, Photos, Tech, iPad

I recently submitted a quick shot of my whole tech setup (or the set of TechKnowledgey to some) to a new website called TekSetups. While I hope it is featured there, I also figured why not post it here on my blog as well. Then, after I figured that, I did it! Here it is:

While the shot is certainly okay, unfortunately it doesn’t quite get everything in it. For instance, there are quite a few things under the desk that cannot be seen, as well as a bunch of other things around the area too. The picture doesn’t exactly capture the entire feel of my “place”, but it does a good enough job.

On that note, one of the suggestions on the now open Moderator Module on The Devir Kahan Network YouTube page, was to do a setup tour. To that I say, it will come on New Year’s day, just like it did last year, and hopefully every coming year as well, so look for that on Byte Sized then. Until then though, this was just a little teaser, so to speak, for you all.

Oh, and did you notice the spiffy new logo wallpaper I got going on my iPad? What’s that? Oh, why, thank you!

Some iPad Doodles

// May 28th, 2010 // No Comments » // Apple, Electronics, Entertainment, Fun, Media, Photos, Reviews, Software, Tech, iPad

One of the first apps for the iPad that I downloaded was Adobe’s Ideas. It’s a drawing app that I only took a glance at when I first downloaded it. After a few long car rides recently though, I realized that there is really some great power to the app and that I could create some pretty cool doodles. Take a look:

If you’re wondering what exactly I was thinking when I drew those, I couldn’t tell you. I honestly don’t know myself (and certainly neither does my sister – which I extrapolated, by the way, due to her snide remarks as I sketched). But what I can tell you is that I always sort of liked drawing, and the features that this app gives you are really great. You can switch up colors on the fly from a full color palette (although as of now there is no easy way to go back to a previous one), you can zoom in REALLY close to do all the detail work, it’s a pretty slick app for drawing. I’d go download it if you have an iPad and don’t already have the app. And yes, it’s free.

So why am I sharing all of this with you? No clue.

The Devir Kahan Network Logo

// May 23rd, 2010 // 4 Comments » // Blog, General, Internet, Media, Photos, Tech, TechKnowledgey

After much work, it’s finally here! I really like the logo a lot! It will now be the official logo and will begin to appear online on my various sites.

And yes, it is a sideways D and K (my initials) that make up that little dude. The only question is – What do we call him?

Big thanks to Anthony over at thetechzonelive.com for turning my concept for this, into an awesome reality!

Testing The Symmetrical Face Theory

// April 27th, 2010 // No Comments » // Community, Fun, Life, Photos

It was told to me by someone, at sometime – neither of which I remember – that if you were to take one half of your face, and mirror it for the other side of your face, you would hardly be able to recognize yourself. The reason for this is because a human faces is not, and is never supposed to be, perfectly symmetrical. The right side of your face is not symmetrical with the left side, and vice versa. This being the case, taking either of the sides, and flipping the image to use for the other side of your face – thus making a perfectly symmetrical face – would just look plain weird.

Well…

Of course I had to find out for myself so I took a picture of myself, flipped the right side to use as the left side of my face, and here is the result:

Strange to say the least, but I certainly could recognize myself. What do you think? All I have to say is that I’m glad my face is not perfectly symmetrical.

What’s that? You want to see the original? Request obliged:

Wondering how I knew that you wanted to see the original? Oh, it’s nothing…. Just mind reading…

And of course, if any of you would like to try the same “experiment”, comment below with a link to your picture.
