The tug o’ war with iPhone ringtones
The iPhone is a wonderful phone. I love it. However, today I upgraded my firmware to 1.1.1 and Apple tricked my phone so that if I open up a ringtone menu, it loses my custom ringtone setting. The ringtone’s there and will still work if you don’t open that menu, but opening the menu wipes [...]
Hanna Montana tickets sell out in 18 minutes
So I thought it would be nice to take the girls to their first real concert. Hanna Montana tickets went on sale today at 10am, but I didn’t know there was a fan club you had to join to get the code (Ticketmaster didn’t tell you) so at 10:02 I’m on mileyworld signing my oldest [...]
Is that Steve Jobs in my Wii?
My kids were playing Bowling on the Wii and I had this idea – since you have other Miis playing Wii Sports with you, why not make a few famous ones? I realize now that the idea isn’t new, but that’ll show you how involved I am in my Wii . In any case, we [...]
The Bionic Dud
When I was a kid, I grew up watching The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. When I heard that the team that put together Battlestar Galactica was remaking The Bionic Woman, I thought for sure the show would do well. Yesterday afternoon, I got an email from Amazon which was an offer [...]
Need to get away?
I saw this during the Giants game on Sunday. Classic commerical!
New warning on videogame packaging
In light of yet another death from someone who didn’t have the brains to pick himself up and do whatever he had to do keep himself from dropping dead, videogame companies will now be placing this warning on all packaging.
Zune guy does it again
I’m just speechless. First, we all laughed at the Zune tattoo guy. Ha ha, very funny. I’m sure we all thought he got his 15 minutes of fame and that was the end of it. Sorry, no, he’s not ready to give up his time just yet. It pains me to post this pic on [...]
Feed me, Seymore!
As I mentioned before, I got the 160 GB iPod. I thought “oh, no problem, I’ll just import all my CDs”. Let me tell you, importing CDs isn’t as easy as it sounds, nor is it exciting, even if you’re doing it in the background. The constant dance of opening/closing the drive door, swapping CDs, [...]
-last.fm
I had a goal these last few months which was to rip my entire CD collection (something like 1200 of them) and see how much space it took up. The challenge has been fighting people who put in terrible Gracenote track names. For example: 1) DO NOT put the name of the album in the [...]
Some thoughts after the price drop bomb was dropped
When Apple announced last week that they were dropping the price of the iPhone by $200 (that’s 33%), I admit I was kind of miffed. The iPhone was the kind of device I’ve always wanted and although I knew the price was a little high, it was also a very unique device and was willing [...]
