I have had a few folks contact me on my contact form that they’ve tried to use Nodejs and trying to use npm on there PC running Windows 8.1 but fails and gives them an error similar to: “Error: ENOENT, stat ‘x:\Users\<Your_User>\AppData\Roaming\npm”. That being said? You can easily fix this issue by just creating a new folder called “npm” in that Roaming folder on your PC. Which you could do […]

If you’re like some of us, we have the latest version of Windows that’s normally a beta and as someone who owns a 3D Printer, specifically the MakerBot Replicator 2X… Makerware is GOD. The unfortunate part? You likely haven’t been able to install Makerware due to you having a version of Windows 8.1 that is higher than permitted by the installer. For this, you must download the PROPER Makerware which […]

As you may know, Microsoft recently announced that Visual Studio will be more than just Microsoft-based programming features, services, and ran on other platforms, including Linux which I can’t WAIT for! In the screen shot you’ll see Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Preview Secondary Installer with a twist. However, as you see in the screen shot… Microsoft has shown it isn’t KING anymore when Android Native Deployment Kit is the first item […]

If you’re in the preview program, you know the new update we got a little bit ago is… AWESOME! These folders are incredible, you can fit so much and unlike iOS, they’re small BUT you can fit a lot without having “pages” that you get lost in. Very smart move as well as other cool items being added to WP 8.1 and you should get ready to let Windows Phone […]

As some know, the Raspberry Pi has become nothing but über popular. With that being said, we’re getting more and more new users who aren’t familiar with the Linux/UNIX-like environment. This is why VSTheWeb.com “Lab” will be offering 1-Click popular Raspberry Pi Installers right from here in the VegasTech Community (http://vegastech.com). So, how does it work? You simply insert your Pi details and let the web installer remotely connect to […]

Lately I have blogged more and more about 3D Printing or automated printing things using batter for Pancakes. So, I thought I would share some of my own works… As some of you know, when I publish to thingiverse that you see on Twitter, normally is a Cookie Cutter? Yes, I co-own a Candy, Cake, Cookie Company and sometimes we need to make the item a little more special than normal. With […]

It seems more and more edible 3D Printing is going to arrive but now we have maybe a different class of Printers for edibles… PancakeBot! At Maker Faire Bay Area, the PancakeBot is the Printer where “batter not included”. In the demo they show the dream world where we wake up and we can have more than just Mickey Mouse pancakes. Now we can get really adventurous! This is assuming […]

As I and some of the tech community have recently heard about this App called We Heart It, a Pinterest meets Flickr and every other image/video stream service but only with a slight twist, you heart what inspires you. Now the concept really is nothing new, it is gorgeous but the big question is, they claim to have MILLIONS of users but who are these “WE THE PEOPLE”? Most of […]

As many in what’s called the “Maker” community, which also refers to the DIY (Do It Yourself) community, know 3D Printing is becoming easier and easier… It’s likely you’ve heard NASA saying or even seen trying to send a 3D Printer to space to help build tools they may need in space but before we get giddy or too off-topic, why do we even know or why is this technology […]

As you know, in the world of surveillance, we have lost our freedom, doesn’t matter what country you live in but as an American we have the fear of the NSA and big “GOV”. Some of us for years have said they could do this and that, of course we have been labeled: tin foil hatters; paranoid schizos; libertarians and that’s far from the truth thanks to recent leaks in […]

As some of you know, I taught a class here in Las Vegas the SYN Shop Hackerspace about the basics for Raspberry Pi, some couldn’t make it but it was a full class with a waiting list. The good news for those who couldn’t attend, I have made my class slides public. Especially since my future classes will be much more advanced and will need a working Pi. So, these […]

As someone who has been fascinated by the WP platform and saw previews before it was ever released- I wanted in on it! When finally the WP7 came out and we had a platform to physically hold and work with, it was GREAT. Of course having missing things like Copy & Paste was an embarrassment but a new update would come in Months to be. It was awful when we […]

If you use Microsoft Windows 8.1 Enterprise, Professional or N you may have noticed your Nokia Windows Phone 8 has likely not been able to be detected and therefore useless especially trying to build Enterprise Apps. So, what does one do? We’ll, I searched far and wide for the right answer but NEVER found the answer. Some things claimed to work for people but they had a WP7 or using […]

As some know, the new PiCAST (2.0) is out and is now STABLE. This is my project that was aimed against Google originally as I was pretty upset with how they released and announced Chromecast. Get it at: http://github.com/lanceseidman/picast. Why should I care? I am a consumer and the American way, to speak up and fight for injustice but also a techy who is very much progressive and feel Open Source anything can […]

I have had an IP hunt lately, trying to find where is my data going before the NSA gets it? It looks like Apple aka NSA of corporations may get a piece. My phone IP was 166.137.209.17 aka mobile-166-137-209-017.mycingular.net. Now, if look this up, its registered to: Service Provider Corporation 73 Old Dublin Pike Doylestown, PA. But, its part of AT&T of St. Louis, MO. but what confuses me? My NSLOOKUP results: Non-authoritative answer: 17.209.137.166.in-addr.arpa […]
