I’m giving away “SUSE Linux” by Chris Brown, a book I reviewed here at ComeAcross. It’s the first edition of the book, published in July, 2006, and it’s about 430 pages. It covers pretty much everything you’d like to know about SUSE Linux. I encourage you to read my review to see if you’re [...]
» Go to this postI reviewed “Making Change Stick” a while ago, and liked it. Now I’ve decided it’s time for it to benefit someone else. Have a look at the review and see if you’d be interested. (Retail cost for the book is $19.50.)
The rules are the same as for the last book drawing. Just tell someone you [...]
… is Trevor Carpenter! I announced the drawing on Tuesday, 9/25, and the deadline was the evening of Friday, 9/24. I’m going to mail the book to Trevor shortly.

I hadn’t read the book by Roald Dahl, nor did I know the story was written by him until I watched the featurette included [...]
» Go to this postAs I checked my traffic stats over the past few days, I noticed a steady stream of traffic to my reviews of the WD My Book World and Pro Edition II hard drives. I was pleasantly surprised, but couldn’t figure out why. Other than publishing the reviews on my blog, I hadn’t done any sort [...]
» Go to this postA few days ago, I announced a free book giveaway. The book was Java I/O, 2nd Edition, by Elliotte Rusty Harold (my review). All you had to do to qualify was to leave a comment on that post with your thoughts about ComeAcross — what you liked, what you didn’t like. There were only two [...]
» Go to this postI’ve got a whole bunch of new computer books that I’ve reviewed, and I realized I’m not using most of them. But I know there are people out there who need them. So, I thought I’d hold a free book giveaway. That’s right, it’s FREE. But you will need to pick the shipping method and [...]

Many people have found his photography inspiring, and his insight into the photography business razor sharp. Many more have found the resources available on his website very helpful as they got started in photography. I know I did.
When he [...]
Here’s the good stuff:
Want to watch cheese mature? A company in England wanted to show the process and time involved in making good cheese, so they installed a web cam next to aging cheddar. That hunk of cheese has now become an Internet star.
Escape the Meatrix! Watch this movie to find out what it is [...]
Have you ever wondered just what the jargon of information security specialists really means? What are all those arcane words they throw around to scare us into submission as they lock down our computers even tighter? “What do you mean, we can’t even install a screensaver now?! Can I at least use the bathroom without [...]
