Not like I spend my life reviewing movies (and yes, this post is about the movie), but when is the last time I wrote a positive movie review? Don’t think I have yet… The Hunger Games has some interesting themes, but to me it’s ultimate claim to fame is just pitting children in a death […]

WHITE NOISE RELOADED: “White noise” devices have progressed from their roots, that’s all I can say! I went to go buy one to help my wife sleep better, and they now have devices that play a whole bunch of different sounds, and then they will modulate those sounds in accordance with your brain waves. So

Yeah, the title kinda sums up my experience trying out a BlackBerry PlayBook. Maybe it is a bit unfair an assessment, but reality can be a harsh judge. FOSE 2010 I didn’t have time to attend the whole expo, but I made time to attend ONE of the free classes – I wanted to see

Back in 2010, I was searching for ASP.NET controls for our team. One member of our group had used oBout and said they were inexpensive and effective. He was right… for an enterprise license, they are extremely inexpensive. And, as long you didn’t try to do too much with them, they could be quite effective.

What I like about Digitally Imported is that anywhere I have an internet connection, I have access to a great selection of electronic and dance music. Now, with the addition of sky.fm, there’s

We’ve all seen the articles about WD-40 and alcohol…but I did an interesting test. Actually I didn’t start the test…I just finished it. The test was STARTED when one of my children decided to take Silly Putty to bed to “help me fall asleep.” Hey, it’s not like I could say,”Dude, you should just try

So, today I got my hands on another outdated movie: Spielberg’s War of the Worlds. He usually does a good movie, so I thought maybe a remake by him would be done right. Nope. Nope Nope Nope. Where to start… the coolest thing about the movie was the microbe zoom out, and quoting the book

Gah. Gross! OK, now that I got that out of the way… What’s to not like about the movie “Repo Men?” It was OK, but still painful to watch (not just the carving scenes either). It is a movie about people who repossess bio-mechanical organs when the recipients fail to make the payments. So, if

Bank of America asked me to fill out a survey. They suck. And my survey reflects that, but I was very careful to mark the representative who assisted me very highly because they did the best they could with the lame tools made available by Bank of America. You see, I’ve been paying on time
