Just watched the iPhone ad.. not bad. I’ve forgotten what great ads Apple used to have before the whole iPod/I’m a Mac ad’s started. The good old Think Different ads and such.

Wow.. So far.. it’s absolutely amazing. I’ve seen Stephen Colbert and several artists and writers for various comic books. Too many to list here. As Kevin said, I’ve died and gone to comic book heaven.
I’m offloading my pics so far from today (210 of them) and will probably not have anytime tomorrow or Sunday to [...]

Tried one of these for the first time today (Safeway in Merrifield) and I have to say, it really lives up to the hype. enviga is the melding of Green Tea and Carbonation by Nestle and Coca-Cola.

It’s no secret that I hate my Sirius service. The only good part about having Sirius right now is the fact that I get it for the next year for free. And that’s all.
The channel programming is atrocious and more often then not, I will hear the same song on 3 separate channels not [...]

Honestly, when I heard about No More Heroes for the Wii I just assumed it was going to be like some weird superhero noir game. Then I heard it was by the kids that came up with Killer7. Finally I read the synopsis that IGN has posted about the game:

In this adventure game directed by [...]

You should probably just resign yourself to seeing a bunch of these posts this week and next.
Cramming all the Comic Con information I can, I came across this post on CBR where one of the writers put up a special Reflections post of his past con experiences. Most are actually really funny but my favorite [...]

Wednesday is Poker night. It has been for sometime now. Valentine’s Day is also this Wednesday. I’m trying to figure out why I should not have my weekly game.
I mean, Valentine’s Day is another Hallmark Holiday. I don’t mind it that much (reminds me of Rance’s explosion last year about V-Day) but why can’t [...]

I’ve always wondered why Dwayne would do certain things the drunker he got during our weekly DSPC games. There is now a term to describe what it is:
Gaysted (adj.): “when heterosexual people get so wasted, they slip into seemingly gay acts”.

Sitting around indexing (still) my music from all of my CD’s this weekend, it dawned on me what I would really like to see product wise from Apple (or hell a 3rd party would be fine). An iTunes Server product.
Not like the iTunes Music Sharing thing that we have now, I’m talking a full [...]

They looked great up there playing together on the opening of the Grammy’s. Stewart Copeland looked like you won’t be able to wipe the smile off his face for a few days.
I liked how Roxanne was the track they played but was hoping for either another song or maybe a medley of songs. Either [...]
