What is up with the hands?

I found this article on Gizmodo just now that creeped me out worse than my parents when they dance.

The picture of these robotic hands that are fixing themselves. It is creepishly artistic in my eyes. Sort of beautiful...I may be weird for this.

Here is the link to the picture and caption.

Want some LG on your wrist? Go to London.

LG made available their line of wristphones, in London! Why wouldn't they do it here? Because they hate me.

The LG GD910, the watch/phone, went on shelves over at the Orange Shop around Bond Street Station in London.

There porbably isn't anything there close to a watchphone by now, but you can try if you like.

Verizon lets us whach TV...online!

Verizon has rolled out their FiOS TV Online. We can all enjoy some late night Frasior and Friends on our lovly little laptops. I just hope it doesn't come with that creepy guy from the ads...both of them...*shiver*

It's Here, The $300 Xbox 360 Elite is here! Bye Pro!

On friday, the Xbox 360 Elite will be sold at $300.

The Pro model will go down to $250, but that is only because they will ship it off to Madagascar where it will be eaten up by animals and other beastial things.

Yay for me! This might be my chance to get a new Xbox 360 and Fallout 3 once more. Sweet world!

Gadget Alert! New Verizon Phones Leaked!

The Boy Genius Report has gotten their hands on some pictures that reveal some new phones Verizon is planning on releasing.

Some of the new phones on the list include the LG Chocolate Touch, Samsung Rogue, Blackberry Touch 2 and more.

These phones are looking pretty hot. Hope they come out later this year or the next. By that time, I should have a job.

Zune HD Is Bright And Light


This is what appears to be the Zune HD and well...the packaging is hard NOT to notice. Do you agree?

World of Warcrat, here I come!

I bought World of Warcraft today.

I decided to get it because I had some spare change and I needed something to do. Now that I'm in college, I understand how boring it is when there is absolutely nothing to do. So I said "OMG! MY SCHOOL'S STORE HAS WARCRAFT!" in my head and I left.

Once I returned with the copy and a pack of index cards, I popped the disk in. I didn't know I needed a credit or debit card. Now I have to wait for my card to come in. This is just great. Just f**king great.

360 Slimming Up Their Elite Prices

Microsoft has laid the smack down on Sony today, who just recently announced their new model of the Playstation 3, PS3 Slim.

An ad from Walmart was spotted revealing Microsoft's kick in the face to Sony; An Xbox 360 Elite priced at $299. $299 is the same price as the upcoming PS3 Slim, coming out around the end of this summer.

This is just another ass-whooping from Microsoft to Sony in the console war. How will Sont retaliate? A Playstation that can whisper sweet nothings in my ear, give a great massage and whip-up an awesome Pina Collada? Maybe that's just me dreaming.

I am a Gamer

I will state it now, even though I think I should of stated it earlier. I am a gamer.

There are two kinds of gamers. There are the gamers that play games for fun and enjoyment with their families and there are the gamers that play for honor and sport. I am the later.

I've owned a number of systems in my life starting with the super nintendo. Now I'm up to the Nintendo DS Lite. I had an Xbox 360, but it perished and I'm trying to earn the funds to get a new one.

Hardcore Gamer, I am. Tech Nerd, I am.

Facebook reign over the internet has begun!

Facebook recently bought friendfeed, a social networking site where one can create a news feed out of their friend's updates from Facebook, Google and Twitter.

They also recently added a search function to the site that allows a reader to search for specific information, like news updates, through the web and their own friends.

An idea scurrying around is that Facebook might just be trying to step their A-game up in the social networking world, even finding its way up to the popularity that Twitter flocks with.

Another implied thought is that Facebook is trying to beat its way into a future search engine or none-the-less, become a Google clone of some kind, like a kid admiring a hero so much he would dress up like him to a comparable extent.

What the hell was Nintendo thinking when they were patenting this idea?


A Euorpean Nintendo patent was revealed recently that just made me think so negative, its horrible.

The patent is a game where you ride horses, dolphins or gryphon's using this contraption that is an inflatable cushion that you stick your Wiimote in.

Its a horrible picture that just leaves me with my head down in shame of what Nintendo has done to my brain.

I didn't think building a PC was that difficult...mistake one.

I've decided to take on a task. A special task that many have done or failed.

Making a PC from scratch.

After my laptop became unsuable for a time, it may be saved now, I started using my mom's PC she uses every now and then. The machine is slow and a terror for a blogger like myself. It shut down on my when I do certian posts or play music and do various things at once because of over-heating.

The computer made me hit the breaking point and then it happened! I gained the brilliant idea of creating my own PC from scratch. I've been reading up on different how-to's for making a PC and I have to say, I am a little terrified at tall the details stated, but I know I can do it...hopefully.

iTunes 9 may have Blu-ray support and app organizing, along with s

Yesterday, The Boy Genius Report posted a story that when I first read the post's title, I was a little skeptical.

They state that they have a "pretty reliable source" who told them about three features in Apple iTunes 9, which doesn't have a public release date at the moment.

One feature is Blu-ray support. This feature can be held potentially true because apple is apparently integrating Blu-ray into their future iMac line-up, as stated by Apple Insider.

The next feature is the implication of app organizing and arranging for the iPhone and iTouch.

The last, but not least, feature posted was an unknown mix between Twitter, Facebook and Last.Fm. Boy Genius states a good idea that the three can probably be used to post what one may be listening to at that moment.

Lights of Love?

I read an article today on Switched that made me go "...what?..."

So I am no stranger to intimacy, so I know the different ways two lovers can express their love. Such expressions include a kiss and a hug or holding hands. Even technology has been involved in the game of love like special "toys" or even through cell phones or computers, but light as well?

Distance Labs has created the Mutsugoto. The Mutsugoto is a device that allows two people who are separated but still want that sensual feeling together to share their lovin all over their body with special rings they wear. These rings some how allow light to pass to one person and vise versa. The lights are some how an unusual way that a couple can find another way to make themselves and their other-half feel good all night.

Podcasts Save Lives Everyday

One thing that I can not live without are my podcasts.

Podcasts are like pre-recorded radio that one can download on the iTunes store. They are, besides my girlfriend, my DS Lite and coffee, the only things that make my day just that much bearable.

The first podcasts I ever listened to was Achievement Junkies, an Xbox 360 oriented podcast where two Xbox fans, one who worked for Microsoft at one point, talked Xbox news whether it be new releases and updates. I experienced people with new opinions about video games other than my own. It was also a chance for me to create ideas for arguments about the video game industry, which I was and still am a big fan of.

Through out the years I've found many characters in such podcasts such as the Giant Bomb podcast, CAG Cast, the Geekbox and Rebel FM.

Without podcasts, I'd probably go insane and probably hear what people are telling me. iPod is always in the ear, ya know.

Twitter went down. Couldn't tweet my sadness, till now anyway.

A surprise attack on Twitter, Facebook and LiveJournal by hackers left the social networking sites unusable for approximately three hours. Thankfully, they are back up at 1 p.m. The lack of tweeting stirred up panic attacks world wide...or at least in my world there were people falling on the floor crying for a tweet.
