OnLive is a new gaming service which will basically let you play PC games, even if you don’t have a beefed up gaming PC. How it does this is simple: The game runs through cloud servers (basically multiple servers working as one), and the outputted video is streamed to your PC. As you play the game, the input is sent back to the server in order to control your… Continue reading

I’m not “industry insider” or anything, but if I have any qualities it’s that I can find problems in things very easy. On one hand that makes me a good problem solver, on the other hand it makes me seem like a very pessimistic person. In any case, Throughout the last weeks I’ve noticed some problems that have occurred regarding Apple’s iPhone 4. I’m sure there are thousands of posts… Continue reading

The FBI had an opening for an assassin.

After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists; Two men and a woman.

For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.

A little boy wanted $100.00 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened.

Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100.00.

When the postal authorities received the letter to God, USA, they decided to send it to the President.

The president was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill. The president thought this would appear… Continue reading

So apparently in Austin Texas last week there were some hackers who took one of those construction signs and hacked it, then changed the text to what they wanted. The result? The sign was changed to say

“ZOMBIES IN AREA! RUN”
“NAZI ZOMBIES! RUN!!!”
“THE END IS NEAR!!!!!!!!!”
“CAUTION! ZOMBIES! AHEAD!!!”
“RUN FOR COLD CLIMATES”

Two sides to this, you can either find this hilarious, or find it… Continue reading

I recently saw a commercial on TV that features this thing called “The Snuggie” that is basically a blanket that is made to look like a robe The theory – if you are trying to stay warm, a blanket will fall off of you while The Snuggie will stay put. Also, if you just want to look ridiculous, this thing is for you!

I just have to say, you… Continue reading

My younger son is really into dinosaurs at the moment, and since they just opened the T-Rex restaurant in Downtown Disney (or Disney Village as some call it), we thought that would be a great treat for his second birthday. The restaurant, which was created by the same company that made The Rainforest Cafe, is filled with tons of animatronic dinosaurs and incredible scenery, really drawing you into a prehistoric… Continue reading

For the longest time getting my toddlers to brush their teeth was, to say the least, something to dread. My older son (who just turned three) would constantly talk, try to grab the toothbrush from me, or cry. My younger son (two years old) was even worse – kicking and screaming, crying, and then IF you managed to get the brush in his mouth, he would clamp his teeth down… Continue reading

While I was watching TV last week I noticed something about how drugs relating to sex are treated differently for men and women. This shouldn’t come at a big surprise, after all men and women do think about sex differently, however I just thought it was kind of funny.

For instance, let’s take the Enzyte commercial’s, you know, the ones with “Smiling Bob” and “the one daily pill for… Continue reading

This morning I decided to go ahead and upgrade this blog to WordPress 2.7 (it was 2.6 before) which had just come out two days ago.  Although nothing (if anything) changed on the pages that normal users see, the admin panel has been completely redone to be more efficient and flexible.  I think it really makes a huge difference as the old Admin panel really looked…well…old.  The new one allows… Continue reading
