A friend of a friend has some serious cancer going on, so a foundation was created in her name to help raise awareness/money for the cause. Last night we went to a fundraiser at The Grove in Anaheim. There was a nice dinner, casino tables, silent auction, raffle, and musical entertainment. The Voodudes opened up…

Ooooh yeah. I don’t think I ever mentioned it here, but I gave in to peer pressure and got a Nintendo DS Lite a little while ago.The last thing I needed was another gaming system, so I was fully expecting to get a gut full of buyer’s remorse. Luckily that never happened! It may not…
Have you seen Driving Force yet? You might want to check it out. John Force is a drag racer, and he is totally crazy. Gary Busey style crazy. He even looks like him.It turns out his worldwide racing HQ is only five minutes from my house. He must live near me because whenever they show…
Corporate marketing departments just loooove to use Flash. Just check out any movie website. Flash up the butt. Usually it’s annoying as hell. But the official New Super Mario Bros site at http://mario.nintendo.com/ makes me happy. It looks pretty slick and it’s fun to click things. That almost never happens in the world of Flash….
Haiku for you It is still hot dudesI am super cerealOne-hundred-plus temps To help escape the heat we went to my parents’ and spent Saturday night there. That night we saw some strange-ass apocalypse-type weather. I’m not even joking man. It was fuh-reaky. As the sun went down we started to see lightning off in…
Last night I saw something so horrible and traumatizing that it scarred me for life. I saw it, my wife saw it, and our Swedish houseguests saw it. Unfortunately I can’t post what ‘it’ is because I’m afraid the traumatizer may someday read this only to discover that we saw them doing something when they…
It’s pretty hot, dudes. This weekend it hit 106 at my house. Insane. We’ve had the AC on pretty much non-stop these last couple days. My electricity bill will be terrifying. You can see the barometer’s been dropping too. They say we might even get a thunderstorm here or there. DOPPLER ACTION WEATHER UPDATE 9000…
We had a company outing over the weekend. We all went go-kart racing at this neato indoor racetrack called Dromo One. We rented the whole place out, but of the 23 people who said they were coming, only 8 people showed up. More than half of my co-workers completely flaked and didn’t even call to…
If you haven’t upgraded your PSP’s firmware beyond 1.50, your patience has just been rewarded! DevHook 0.44 was just released – it now lets you emulate *every* firmware version (including the latest, 2.71) on your 1.5 PSP. You’re actually using 1.5 to ‘run’ 2.71 as if it were a standalone app. It sounds crazy, but…
Oh ho! Pioneer wins! They’re the first manufacturer to produce a 50″ plasma TV that can display a 1080p signal natively. The PRO-FHD1 retails for $10,000 though – exactly TWICE the cost of their 50 inch 1080i plasma. Ouch!Come on, Panasonic. It’s your turn to answer the call of 1080p. Everybody’s expecting great things from…
