While driving home from a party the other night I was reminded why I don’t like regular radio in Pittsburgh. The song Morning Train (9-5) by Sheena Easton came on and we were both laughing about how long it had been since we heard that one. Then we quickly realized how awful it [...]
The main reason I had a jailbroken iPod Touch is because I really liked the game Five Dice. Five Dice is an excellent version of the old dice game called Yahtzee. I was hoping that the developer would bring it to the App store once version 2.0 of the software was out and they came [...]

I like the convenience of being able to watch TV shows from my computer when I am traveling or am not in front of my TV/DVR setup - especially when that experience is free. I think ABC does a great job with their hosting of shows like Lost, Desperate Housewives, etc., but I just ran [...]

My car has an Aux port in the glove compartment that lets you plug an iPod in and listen to it through the stereo. It’s easy to find a cable to go from the headphone jack of the iPod to the Aux port, but what has always driven me crazy about this solution is that [...]

I just caught EdTV tonight and noticed Clint was in it. I figured that it had to be a Ron Howard film, and I was right. I’ve never seen him in anything that wasn’t his brother’s work. Follow this link and see that he has quite a history - Star Trek? World of Warcraft?! Excellent.

When I was little I remember my Grandmother taking me to a department store and buying me my first album - The Beatles Abbey Road. Every time I would go visit her she would take me to the store and I would get to pick out a new album. McCartney, his first solo record, was [...]

I’ve always been a fan of Sheryl Crow’s music, but I had to read this article twice to make sure it wasn’t some kind of joke. She is coming out with a detachable “dining sleeve” for wiping your mouth to help reduce the amount of paper napkins used.
“The sleeve is detachable and can be [...]
