I’m okie with the idea of sequels if the story arc is longer than a single story (a la Harry Potter) from the very beginning. But why does the movie industry insist on cramming more sequels down our throats when they could move on to other stories? This is a trend that should end. One [...]

Tonight I was browsing through my normal websites with Safari on my Mac when suddenly, this window took over my entire browsing experience (click to go full screen on it). I either got this from macdailynews.com, macnn.com or msnbc.com. I’m not sure which. I did a force-quit on Safari and moved on with my life, [...]

Have you heard of Yammer? If not, you will. You will likely hear about Yammer after your corporation or business signs a deal with them. Your users will start to flock toward the service and sign up. Lo and behold you will discover that they will be offered a piece of software to install. During [...]

Really, Nintendo? Maybe the games were overpriced to begin with. When we were looking to get our son a Nintendo DS I pushed hard to get him an iPod Touch.

I ran across this article this morning. It shouldn’t surprise anyone… well, with the exception of the people that are getting scammed. My favorite part of the article is the comments. Someone claims in the article that AOL invented email and uses that to defend paying them a monthly fee. Hilarious. Bookmark to: Hide Sites

I am one of the aspiring new media yahoos that bought into the fever gripping folks everywhere – the Drobo (a play on words for “data robotics.”)  Leo Laporte, Scott Bourne and all of those folks loudly proclaimed about what a fantastic device the Drobo is. I’m here to tell you it sucks. Now, first [...]

Image via Wikipedia One of the fortunes I’ve had this year was to finally obtain a “real” TV set to replace the small dinky tube I’ve had since I moved out of my house.  In case you’re wondering, that’s about 19 years ago. I had promised myself that once I obtained a home theater-type of [...]

It seems some parents out there are coming out against immunization for their children.  MSNBC has the story. This is just fracking brilliant.  Now you’re going to let your child be put as risk for these killer diseases and expose the live bacteria to my children just because you’re some stupid-ass hippy parent who wants to [...]

I keep reading a lot of tweets from folks that are not much more than USA fanboys preaching the goodness of the red-blooded Yanks and how China is just a bunch of commie bastards and I’m getting pretty sick of it. First of all, that kind of talk does nothing to help peace in the [...]
