Arstechnica is reporting that an interesting trend was occurring at this year’s E3. Many attendees were discussing their favorite games and then took out their iPhones to demonstrate. continue reading…

Do you want to be ultra-modern? Do you want to roll like a European? Are you weird? Hell yeah we are weird, we are Austinites! That is what we do, keeping it weird. Starting this year, we will be able to purchase, or at least reserve, one of these cars at our local Smart Car dealership. There is someone in our neighborhood that has one. It is so small you do a double-take just to be sure that what you saw was actually real. It can keep up with the Prius on fuel efficiency but at half the cost. Man, this would be awesome to have as a commuter car. Maybe it can be my second car. I get this while Keyla gets this. What about the kiddos? Oh we will keep the minivan for the family, the other two cars are for us to get around while they are in school. Ahhh, it is fun to dream…

Sony will announce at CES 2008 that Skype will be added to my beloved PSP. That will mean I can talk to other Skype lovers using my PSP. So… uh… I guess I need a Skype account or figure out how this thing actually works. I am so far behind the power curve…

Whew, how about that, Apple knocking off two hundred dollars off the iPhone. Some call that the removal of the “nerd tax“. This is kind of old news now but still it is funny as hell. In many ways, the phone DID live the life of the main man of Christianity! How? Well, the coming of the phone was like no other. People willing to wait and follow it’s teaching (*cough technology cough*). Those who were true (heh, not me), gave so much as the phone sacrificed it’s royalty so mere mortals can now enjoy the wonders of it’s embrace. Now the second coming, face sunken from the sacrifice and weakened without all it’s power, the new iPod Touch is ready to continue it’s work to convert the blasphemous lovers of other mp3 gods.

Yes, the all mighty GOD (*cough Steve Jobs cough*) is proud that his son still has the strength to continue where he has left off (*cough niche computers cough*). I must say, with the choir of angles (*cough other lesser iPods cough*), heaven here on earth is not so bad. If you can afford to get pass the gate keeper of Heaven (*cough Apple store cash register cough*).

I am looking at you Andrew for this rack mounted 1080p media server. He is the only one of my friends that has a true equipment rack for his gear. I should stop, Andrew’s theater is by far one of the best I have seen. He has stadium-style seating and a very good projector.

This Alienware system is decked out! Dolby Digital 7.1 audio out, HDMI, blu-ray, internal cable card and up to four terabytes of storage. Plus the industrial design that is very sheik. I would love this in my theater, I just need to find an integrator for pricing.
