  • Asides: Fun Times

    Hailed as one of the greatest video game systems in history, but growing up I never had one.

    snes

    Before you start to feel bad for me, I had game systems, from a Sega Master System, the original NES, the Sega Genesis with the Sega CD, the original Playstation, the Sega Dreamcast and a Playstation 2. But the one I’ve never had was the Super Nintendo. Until recently and thanks to the Macintosh emulator SNES9x, the joypad iOS app and a handy USB SNES controller from Urban Outfitters, I get to relive all the Mario-esque childhood experiences I missed out on…

  • Can’t Give It Away

    googlewaveinvite

    I really wish I could explain what Google Wave is, what it does, or even how to use it, but I can’t. I have a lot of invites for Google Wave and I can’t even give them away.

    This will probably be the last time I’ll bring it up, but I want to have fun trying to get rid of these invites. So here’s the deal, I’m willing to barter something for an invite but not just anything. I want some trivia, random X-Men trivia. Just leave it in the comments of this post and if its good, I’ll bounce you an invite.

  • Random Bitch-Fest

    Late Summer my ass…

    Week after week, been praying and hoping that a little piece of archaic cellular technology would be delivered to what is suppose to be the most advance smart phone… But at last, like a Jewish child on Christmas, no abundance of gifts and joy, just dreidels and chocolate coins. (No offense to anyone of the Jewish faith, just a really bad analogy.)

    AT&T promised mult-imedia message (MMS) and damn it, I want it. Of course after the buzz of having MMS dies down (like 2 hours) I’ll never use the feature again, but for a $100 cell phone bill AT&T needs to pony the hell up. Both AT&T and Apple need to stop ass-raping customers and provide the services promised or start issuing credits and refunds. Actually not only do I want be compensated at this point, I want a written apology from everyone involved with the iphone. From the lowly sales rep at my local AT&T store, the fake ass smiling people at the Apple Store (burning bridges again) all the way up to Steve Jobs and Randall Stephenson.

    Oh and if iPhone tethering ends up costing more that $20 to the consumer, I’m going to do something very not nice.
