Cyber-Kids: Educational Software

Computer software, as we know it today, was first used in the early 1940s. Built in 1943, the Type 19 Synthetic Radar Trainer was a flight simulator created to replicate on-board instrument data for pilots in training. This humble program would lay the groundwork for educational curriculums across the United States. The Type 19 was not only the beginning of applicable computer software, it was the precursor to the educational uses of computer programs and software worldwide.

Salviati: Glass Giants

Though not often mentioned, the history of glass is basically interwoven into human history. Any survey of the history of glass, no matter how brief, must begin on the island of Murano, in particular the participation of the Salviati family of Murano. Anyone who has experienced their quality glass products can vouch for their luminescence and craftsmanship.

Silver Nitrate: Say Cheese

While it is popularly believed that the first photograph was probably taken earlier, the official invention of photography was made in 1839 by French artist and chemist Louis J.M. Daguerre. In conjunction with Joseph Nicphore Nipce, they built upon a discovery made by Johann Heinrich Schultz in 1724 regarding how a certain silver nitrate and chalk mixture darkened when exposed to light. The daguerreotype, or earliest type of photograph, was born.

Caltech: The California Institute Of Technology

California Institute of Technology, commonly referred to as Caltech, is a privately owned research university that offers an intensive curriculum specializing in the natural sciences and engineering. Celebrated for their aeronautical advances in jet-propulsion, Caltech works very closely with NASA. Despite the world renown, Caltech maintains a relatively small student body, with slightly over two thousand students enrolled in both its graduate and undergraduate programs.

Digital Security: Changing the World

Who needs digital security? In today’s world, nearly everyone. With scams and identity theft at an all time high, the need for digital security is a necessity. A team of security and cryptography experts is the basic prerequisite for any company you decide will handle your security needs. In the ever-changing world of security you must have a company that keeps abreast with all the latest anti-fraud solutions.

Re-Inventing the Letterpress Invitation

When you check your mail, you will inevitably receive a pile of unwanted bills, arbitrary offers for magazines, and coupons. Once in a blue moon, you might actually receive a piece from an actual human being. You will notice these are well-crafted, nicely made letters and invitations. Notice the paper, with crisp, raised lettering seemingly crafted from an exclusive boutique.

ETX: New Chipsets

Computer-On-Modules, or COMs, come standardized with the ETX, microETXexpress, and the ETXexpress systems. They offer standard functionality you can customize to any application needs. This provides for an inconceivable amount of flexibility, all the while allowing the user to maintain its functionality. The total design of the ETX baseboard keeps related costs to a minimum. Indeed, products that have embedded ETX modules are very scalable and enjoy longer life cycles.

Free Birthday Ecards: Total Fun to Send

Were you raised by a mother who faithfully sent cards for every special occasion? Some of us feel the same urge, but we are not very industrious. Sending cards in the mail takes too much effort, and besides that, they are becoming outrageously expensive. Plus, it is so challenging to find a card that says what you want to say. Most are either horribly hokey or lame. Either they rhyme relentlessly, they make the recipient sound like a candidate for sainthood, or they tell the same unforgiveable jokes birthday cards have been making since modern printing was invented.
