The Weekend : Aug 26th.

In an attempt to add more to my blog with a personal touch as some would put it, I am going to let everyone in on what I do on the weekend without giving away too much:) I of course find my weekends usually quite interesting and so I naturally expect you to feel the same way, but if not well then I don’t know what to tell ya. Maybe you can share your weekend and we’ll have a grand old time. So anywho, here is the weekend #1….check her out (more…)

As a middle class working American, there are 2 places that I spend most of my young adult life. Those 2 places happen to be my work chair and my bed. Seeing as even on a really off day I spend at least 4 hours in both making that 8 hours every work day. If I retire at 65 (ya right!!) and lets just start it at 18 to be safe (I started working before this of course) then that means even only counting 8 hours every work day (it is usually closer to 15 hours) that means I spend at the very least 11 of those 45 years either in my bed or in my computer desk. 11 F’IN years!! Now I am not going to be one to buy a chair for work….they should provide great chairs from the start. Unfortunately I can’t control that, so we are going to move onto the other chair I spend most of my time in, my home desk chair.

I have gotten into the habit of using Google Maps now exclusively instead of say Mapquest or any other similar service. I am not sure how many of the rest of you do this as well…but I can imagine there are at least a few. So what exactly do you use your internet maps for…other than directions??

Beyond directins!

We all at this point or at least most of us know what LCDs (Liquid Crystal Display) are and many of us actually own them. Whether or not they are for our computer or for home theater, LCDs are all over our houses and in our lives. So what is next…what is the future of this technology? Is it OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display, or maybe huge 100″ TVs or possibly LCD displays on our watches? Or maybe its flexible displays without solid form……like from the Red planet???

Over the past few years as I have reached the prime time to be a single male, the early twenties, and I have been ever so interested in what the best places to meet single women were. Well if you didn’t already know, Forbes.com makes a list of the Top50 or so cities in the US for singles using various things to judge such as Culture, Nightlife, Coolness and population of Singles amongst other things.

Take a second and try to guess who was #1 is for 2007 …… (more…)

I was scrolling through my daily alerts and what not coming across a few articles that touched on this topic and as what often happens I felt differently than everyone else about the situation.

Firstly let me explain what HD-DVD and Blu-ray are since everyone claims that nobody knows about them. HD-DVD (Toshiba) and Blu-ray (Sony) are an attempt to be the next generation of hard media, replacing today’s DVD. They are Higher capacity discs using a Blue laser in order to fit more information. This then allows them to have much greater detail and sound in the image (High Definition) as it were. So instead of watching your standard DVD which is highly compressed, you are able to watch HD content (1080p) from your disc player. If you had not already noticed, playing a DVD and then watching an HD program on your television can be quite different. (more…)

Quick update.

I was quickly told by some friends that my Wii comments in the last post may have seemed a bit on the harsh side. So I am here to clear up where my opinion comes from quickly. (more…)

Hey All,

I know I know, where is this huge update that you promised us! I swear it is in the works…I just have been working on a few things to get all my things in order first. I promise you that I have been writing like crazy every second I get, I even have a few pages down already! Ask Tess, she knows haha
Anywho, I thought since I have had my mind wrapped around console gaming lately more than anything else I would touch base on a few things going on in that space and how I feel about them. As of today, well really about a month ago, I am the proud user of all 3 current generation consoles. That includes the Xbox 360 by Microsoft, the Wii by Nintendo, and the Playstation 3 by Sony.
Any gamer will tell you, the heat between hardcore backers of any of these consoles is just as bad as the heat between an Apple and a Windows user. It is an odd thing really, but people who buy and support a product usually tend to feel they must defend it for one reason or another. It happens in many parts of our lives..not just our consumer products:) (more…)
