For the past few months I've been getting several emails and people were asking me about the tomfoolery regarding my website and the web browser tabs. Basically people were wondering how the tab title and favicon change (to Reddit, Instagram, TikTok) when the tab with my website gets deactivated, and when it's reactivated it changes back to the initial text/image. Check it out yourself, click on another web browser tab, and then click back to this one. Interesting, eh? Annoying, eh? Can't decide?

The inimitable “Weird Al” Yankovic released four of the six different takes of the music video for his song “Tacky” running together simultaneously. The song, a parody of “Happy” by Pharrell, was released in 2014 and played a big part in Yankovic’s Mandatory World Tour.

Lately, I've been working with a client where my development computer is not connected to the Internet. This is a huge inconvenience, as the unavailability of Google and Stack Overflow vastly impact my productivity. Only recently have I begun to grasp how much of my time is actually spent copy/pasting between Visual Studio and the browser. My office also features an Internet connected laptop and my development computer expose 3,5 mm jack sockets for audio devices. And thus my problems can be solved! Here's how I made a modem for closing the gap with Web Audio.

The origami popper (or origami banger) is a very popular action origami. It produces a nice loud "pop" and is easy to make. There's a video of the origami popper in action at the end of this page.

Here at GeekDad we review a lot of products — books, toys, gadgets, software — and I know it’s impossible for most parents to actually afford all of the cool stuff that gets written up. Heck, most of us can’t afford it either, and we’re envious of the person who scored a review copy of a cool board game or awesome gizmo. (Disclosure: that person is probably me.) So while we love telling you about all the cool stuff that’s out there, I understand that as parents we all have limited budgets and we sometimes need help narrowing down our wishlists.
