I just got my first iPhone Bill from AT&T today and man does it hurt. I’m used to paying around $52 for my monthly cell phone plan so it is quite the contrast when my bill hits triple digits. I have the lowest iPhone plan and the lowest SMS plan but the total still came [...]

I started playing the new Final Fantasy IV last night and I’m pretty hooked already so I’ll probably be playing that this weekend. The graphics are nice and the gameplay is old school which leads to overall goodness. I’ve never played the original so it’s like a whole new game to me.
Too many games, not [...]

How you can feel sad for a [...]

No CD drive? Remote disk or $99 external alternative. What were they thinking? They were thinking thin… so very thin. I guess I’m still old fashion.

I got my first Stikfas in the mail this past weekend. To my surprise the plastic was cheaper than I had expected for the lofty price. I got the Rock Star model because I think musician action figures are hard to find. The drum set it came with was very small in comparison so I [...]
