The Apple iPhone launched yesterday at 6:00 PM. Lucky me I was driving across town but I did get to see one of the lines at an AT&T store, it was kind of funny. By 7:00 PM we were sitting at a restaurant in Alexandria, VA and the local EDGE coverage was pretty much dead. [...]

Ivette surprised me by grabbing a copy of Forza Motorsport 2 a few weeks ahead of what I had planned to. Since I am still a bit up to my neck in work I only managed to run 3 small races plus a few test drives. I did manage to figure out how to take [...]

With the Sopranos gone, and the Sunday night block shot to hell, it is time to say goodbye to premium cable. Originally (say 6-7 years ago), keeping HBO was a no-brainer. There was always something cool going on, it was a given that HBO owned Sunday nights from 9 to 11 PM (that crucial 7 [...]
