My Thoughts on Apple’s new iPad
Jan 27th
So, with today being the day of the iPad unveiling, I gotta say, that’s a pretty impressive piece of technology. Apple has some serious game. You know everybody is going to want it for its HUGE 9.7 inch screen, only weighing in at 1.5 lbs with its web browsing, YouTube watching, news viewing, organizer-like abilities as demonstrated in todays Apple press conference event. For more pictures, other than the ones i’ve posted here today, check out this page. Honestly, what caught me by surprise was definitely the price of the thing when they finally released details, price chart below:
Starting price: $499. Unbelievable. Good thinking. Click the jump to continue reading. More >

Michael Jackson and a random LOL.
Jun 26th
Figured since Michael Jackson is everywhere on television today, I decided to post one of his songs, I enjoy Billie Jean, I’m going to post a remix. Unfortunately, this remix won’t play in full on the page, so in order to listen to the full song, just open the full page from within the imeem player in a new window, no biggie. Next is a funny video explaining how anonymous, or /b/, operates on the interwebs. Enjoy both, and have an extraordinary friday! Click to continue. More >

My Favorite Podcasts
Jun 19th
Hey all, hope everyone is having a good friday so far. Just to let you all know, I am going to be changing the look of the site up every so often. Just so you’re not wondering why all of a sudden things don’t look right. I may change themes every month, week or year. What do you guys think? Vote below.
Now for something completely different…
Do you own an iPod(any generation besides the shuffle), iPhone or iPod Touch? Do you like to watch video podcasts? If the answer is yes, which I’m sure is the answer for most of you, then I think you might like some of the video podcasts that I’m about to share with you. You can always watch these on their sites too if you don’t own an iPod. These are the podcasts that I like to watch whenever I’m not near a computer, which is usually while I am at work on my lunch break. Check them out now! More >

Site Update
Jun 9th
Hey everybody, just wanted to let you all know my current plans as far as the site goes.
Currently, I’m working on moving the site to another server, as well as changing the look of the site. As you can see, I have already changed the look temporarily just to change things up, add a hint of color at the moment. Very attractive wordpress.com theme, don’t you think? The theme I have set now is called Vigilant.
So sit tight! More is on the way. I think everybody will be impressed with the new layout I plan to roll-out sometime very soon.
