Technology, Science, and other ridiculousness
This article was just written well and absolute chuckle-full for me. The folks at Engadget do have a good sense of humor, and I am totally down wit dat, yo! Though, admittedly, I had to agree with the usefulness of this almost useless feature, but I think I would use it. I mean, really, it’s […]
I’m one of the lucky zillions of people who are part of the Sony Gamer Advisory Panel. Basically, it means I get to forum-chat with folks (many whining and complaing teens), and get offered beta versions of new games.

Recently, I was given a cool opportunity to take on a beta for Ratchet: Deadlocked; the next […]
I’m not going to give you only my opinion of this subject. I had the distinct pleasure of personally speaking with one of the Vice Presidents of Forrester Research on this very subject. His published work states that there is definitely a future and that the model will probably become something more like radio is […]
I was going to report that Mediabolic had struck up another cool deal while I was away on vacation, but it looks like the news is coming fast and furious (or I’m just a little slow!). Mediabolic has made the following two announcements:

OpenTV has chosen to license Mediabolic’s networking technologies for its OpenTV Core […]
Honestly, I think I should have titled this “Get a life” but the guy died, so it’s a little late… oh man, another bad joke there, too…
Â
Well, it appears a 28 year old man, in Seoul Korea, died just after finishing playing a “very realistic” war game at a a local cyber-cafe. He only left […]

Those crazy Brits are at it, again! Well, they’re really not so crazy, but I have to wonder what they’re thinking. Obviously, they don’t have the blood-thristy lawyers and angry tax payers that the US does. What’s he on about, you say? Well, the UK Department for Transport just gave the OKIE-DOKIE for a trial […]
Behold, the Evatech Remote Control Lawn Mower! This lawn mower is equipped with an R/C kit (about $400.00) to make cutting the lawn fun again! I’m guessing this sure beats what my neighbor did with the spike and the string wound around it, while the gas pedal of his tractor is held down with a […]
It’s about time, really. MSN has decided that they’d like to have people start to help filter the web by using their blogs. I guess we’re already sort of doing that, but what MSN has in mind is kind of a crude cross between a blog and wiki.

Last week, in some stealth mode version of […]
As anyone who travels around, like a salesman, would tell you: Getting online and checking email is just as important - if not more - than returning phone calls. Hey, sometimes you don’t even know if you NEED to return a phone call without checking your email first!

With all the great benefits of the iPass […]
Sure, you’re thinking I’m writing an article about what I think of Linux. Well, I’m not. Someone else (and many others) have already done it. I’m just relaying the news, Yo!
Â
Check out this interesting article written by a first hand user of Linux; someone with definite reasons to look at the purpose and […]

The folks at Mediabolic, who I totally think rock, have done it again with a great new partnership with BenQ. In a press release dated July 20, 2005, BenQ, one of the world’s top manufacturers of LCD displays, and Mediabolic, a leading provider of end-to-end software solutions for connected entertainment products, on July 20th, introduced […]
With all of the great games out there, on systems that totally rock, you have to wonder whether or not the game-play is better than games of yore. …and by yore, I mean, like 10 or 15 years ago.

Sure, we’ve all seen the classics, re-runs turned out to us via small single handheld units, Nintendo […]
