OneWord: Save
Thursday, July 31st, 2003

Saving is very important in video games. Especially mobile games. Take that Iridion game for example, it has no save feature other than a code you have to write down and then type back in when you want to play again. Then you have the RPGs that only allow you to save at “savepoints” throughout […]

Sony PSP Pictures
Wednesday, July 30th, 2003

Update: Here’s a good link to the some hi-res photos of the official Sony PSP. (updated on 5/11/04)

Gizmodo has posted pictures of the new Sony PSP. I haven’t seen them posted on any of the major sites like Gamespot.com or anything, so I don’t know if they might be fakes or not. Looks a lot […]

OneWord: Bond
Wednesday, July 30th, 2003

James Bond is getting pretty old… That last one with Halle Barry was pretty terrible in my opinion. They should really try something new with the series rather than the same old kill badguy, use special watch, sleep with women formula. Maybe I’m just spoiled on newer better movies like the Matrix and stuff, but […]

*Yawn*
Wednesday, July 30th, 2003

Scientists have discovered that yawning really is contagious. It’s found to be more common in empathetic people, according to the researchers. So I guess it’s more of a psychological thing than physical. They also say that you yawn because your brain is trying to stay awake and alert, not because you have a lack of […]

Iridion 3D Review
Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

I got Iridion 3D from amazon.com the other day for $5.29, and thought I’d post a little review of it.

In short for the skimmers, I’m having more fun writing this review than I did playing the game.

The story of the game goes something like this:

Show picture of city
Show picture of battleship
Show 1, no… 2, no…. […]

Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

Earlier this morning Sony released more details on its upcoming handheld game unit, the PSP. It will feature:

7.1 Digital Surround Sound
MP3/AAC support
A 4.5” 16:9 Widescreen LCD screen
Embedded 802.11 wireless networking
A rechargeable Li-Ion battery
USB 2.0
An infrared data port
A memory stick port
A bunch of crazy graphics specs that I don’t understand

While all of that sounds pretty damn […]

Treasure Planet
Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

Though this movie has been out quite a while, I saw it for the first time last night after borrowing it from my wife’s boss.

The story follows a young boy that was abandoned by his father at a young age, and became rebellious and arrogant as a teenager. He even has a ponytail, an earring, […]

OneWord: Comfort
Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

Comfort Eagle is a pretty good album by Cake. I was going to make a fan site for them several years ago, since I liked them a lot at the time. I had collected a lot of info, but never got around to making it. There aren’t very many good Cake fan sites out there. […]

OneWord: Delicate
Monday, July 28th, 2003

I always wondered why my mom washed the “delicate” clothes in a little bag in the washing machine, then I figured it out after I got married and washed my wife’s “delicate” clothes. All those little straps and stuff can get wrapped around that big thing in the washing machine, and cause quite a bit […]

Mailblocks Update
Monday, July 28th, 2003

Mailblocks, the web-based, spam-free email system I signed up for a while ago, posted some major updates today.

Some of the new features are exactly what I asked for when I originally signed up, such as putting the number of unread emails out to the side of each folder like this:

Inbox (25)
Friends (21)
Work (14)

They also added […]
