Friends, family, and strangers, thanks for checking out the Silicon North blog. Have you ever had a hankering for some technology that's a little bit different than the norm? Maybe you have friends who have some piece of technology that you wish you had, but with a few modifications? Perhaps you're sick of seeing the same tired reviews of software X, which has been funded by Company M? Silicon North is my little slice of heaven where I'll spin my brand of 'take no prisoners' reviews.

Being a bit of a sucker for the 'geek factor' of an item, sometimes I'll review hardware and software that's a little dated. Not everything that's old is 'tired.' Many hackers have found terrific uses for technology others consider lame. For example: Got an old iMac sitting around? Check out this iMac Rack Mount Project.

If different is your thing, then stick around, there's a lot more to come!
