New XBox Experience
Today I was lucky enough to be included in the final wave of invites into the NXE Preview — that’s New XBox Experience to you n00bs. This Wednesday Microsoft will drop the update on all 360s around the world, but today I was lucky enough to get a taste. The following is my impression after [...]
Evidently the New Facebook Sucks
About a month ago I explained why the new Facebook sucks. Well a few days ago Facebook decided to make the “new Facebook the only Facebook” and went ahead making a lot of people very, very angry. Based on the comments received on the original article, people seem to agree that there is no real [...]
Get Some Snow Crash
Not to long ago a friend of mine suggested I read the book Snow Crash. When I asked what it was about he said “cyberpunk, internet people. You’ll like it.” On that highly descriptive recommendation I decided to head down to Barns and Noble and make a purchase — after my last experience with the [...]
Tropic Thunder is the Movie of the Summer
Tonight I was able to catch an “advanced showing” of Tropic Thunder. I’m going to preface this by saying that while I think Robert Downey Jr. is one of the best actors working in the business I don’t really care much for Ben Stiller and Jack Black. Though for some reason I have been very [...]

iPhone 2.0 Initial Reactions
The iPhone 3G was released today to much hype and excitement, but I have been looking forward to today for another reason: the iPhone 2.0 Software Update. It wasn’t as smooth a road as it could have been, but 2.0 is running on my phone and I’ve got to say it’s pretty awesome.
A year ago [...]
Wanted: A Review
Last night I saw Wanted. Going in, I only knew what was shown in the trailer; basically that the movie was going have high action and a moderate disregard for the rules of physics. Moments before the movie started I learned that the whole thing was originally created as a graphic novel. Based on these [...]
Skydeck: My Social Network
Last week I managed to snag one of TechCrunch’s 500 Skydeck invites. Skydeck is a new web startup that says the “most important social network is the one in your phone.” Basically Skydeck connects to your cell phone provider’s website (you give it your account username and password) and, very much like Mint, downloads your [...]
Mint: Worry Free Money Management
You could say I’m slightly obsessed with my finances. Some of the habits I have developed are pretty good; I check my bank account at least once a day, which might sound a bit obsessive but it helped to spot fraudulent charges a few years back. However when it comes to balancing the checkbook, or [...]
The Sopranos Series Finale
Earlier this evening The Sopranos took it’s final bow. In the weeks leading up to tonight’s final episode thing went from good to horrible very quickly for Tony and everyone surrounding him. He:
killed his nephew, Christopher, after Chris caused a huge car accident after falling back into drugs.
fell into a huge gambling debt.
quit therapy because, [...]
Buffett Does Tallahassee
On Saturday night Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band pulled into the Tallahassee Leon County Civic Center. Needless to say, I was there. It was the first time Buffett played Tallahassee since 2002, when I was a freshmen.
The show was great, of course, and even though I was behind the stage the view was [...]
