Avatar: The Sweet Gentle Skullfrak
Posted by Bryce Howard | Filed under Editorials, General Life
Many of us have experienced the violent double-dicked skullfrak that Michael Bay calls Transformers…and some of us have even suffered the terrible Spielbergian ass raping called Indiana Jones 4. Well James Cameron has just made sweet beautiful love to my eye sockets.
For 16 glorious minutes on Friday evening James Cameron lovingly cradled the back of [...]

As I mentioned in previous posts, I am still fighting with SmarterStats. I started to look at other log analyzers and came across this wiki:

Mac Bloggers Bashing Laptop Hunter Commercials
Posted by alan | Filed under General Life, Hardware
I’ve seen a few technology bloggers immediately start bashing the Microsoft “Laptop Hunter / it’s a PC ” commercial. They say that it’s like comparing apples or orange (pun intended). In the commercial, the “actor” goes into an Apple store, and cannot find a computer with the features she wants near their budget ($1000 or [...]

So, I’ve finally secured a Blu-ray drive for the OCMS labs. Now the only thing is to get hordes of BD-R media, so I ventured out on one of our famous OCMS Field Trips.
I go into one local computer store and ask where their Blu-ray media is. Looking bewlidered, the sales rep called over the [...]

Hopes for a PSP Phone
Posted by alan | Filed under Gaming, Gaming TIps, electronics;
The Sony PSP is one of my favorite portable devices, simply because it delivers a quality gaming experience on the go. Over the past year, Sony has been making slight improvements to the PSP, and it’s not hard to see where the trend is going…

A device that allows you to control games and even computer-operated devices with a simple thought from your conscious and even non-conscious brain.

Just a quick thought…
Posted by don | Filed under General Life
One of the things I do every morning when I get up is check Craigslist.com to see what people are trying to throw away. You know, the whole “one man’s trash” thing. You would be absolutely amazed at what people are selling for little to nothing that could inevitably end up completeing a home theater [...]

Emotionally Exhausting
Posted by Trisha | Filed under General Life
Well, I didn’t really post about Steven and I’s problems…. we were unhappy from the start. It is an extremely long story, but basically I am needy and he couldn’t give me what I needed… just love and support is all I wanted. I won’t get into it because it is so exhausting.
Anyway, I found [...]
