So...back with another Video Game Friday segment and now it's on my Mac!I haven't played a game on a computer in ages! I do have a number of games that I bought when I got my G4 PowerBook but I haven't played those in ages. I think that the last games I played on the PowerBook were Black and White and Splinter Cell. Anyway, back in December I bought the MacHeist package of software and as always there

A number of years ago, when VHS tapes were still populating the video clubs, I was looking for a film with a taste of Greece. This is before I was able to find Greek films elsewhere.In any case, I was staring at this film called Ulysses' Gaze. Saw that it was made by a Greek director and that it had gotten some prize so I decided to rent it. What a horrible idea. The film is three hours long of

I've always been interested in android in a Geek sort of way. Never has this OS appealed to me in the iPhone-like "ZOMG! Can I haz Android?" type of way.This changed today when I saw a promo video of the HTV Hero.OK, promo videos are made to induce such an irrational "I want it!" behavior, but the interface is really cool (good job HTC) and it really leaves Windows Mobile in the dust. It's making

This has got to be the coolest thing I have seen in recent months!This version of Super Mario Brothers is controlled with a Theremin. For those of you who don't know (like me), a Theremin is a musical instrument that you play without making any contact with the instrument.Have a quick look at the video - it's sure to amaze.

I came across this NY times article through slashdot a few weeks back. I read it and thought to myself "meh". Now I am back at it. I started thinking.OK, there are 1000X blogs, but people only update 100X. I think that it would be unsustainable to update all blogs all the time. There are people out there that are attention hogs that write to be read by many many people. There are others that bought

For the past number of weeks I've been watching a new Canadian series called The Listener. Luckily NBC picked it up and it's now available on broadcast and on Hulu. The story reminds me a bit of the pretender - without so much of the chasing to get the main character back into an asylum (or whatever that center was).In any case, the main character is a paramedic with supernatural abilities - namely

I try to not post stuff like this...but this was just too funny.

AvantGo is going away....Well OK, bad pun, but AvantGo is shutting down its services in about ten days. Before we could have the internet on our PDAs, and before the advent of smartphones (and RSS), there was AvantGo. AvantGo allows you to subscribe to channels of content from major providers (like newspapers and other news organizations) and if there weren't a channel for the content you wanted you

I've been messing around with blogpress for a couple of days now. I broke down and paid the $3 that the app costs in the AppStore (cash isn't quite flowing these days, blame the economy) Anyway, blogpress is actually quite nice in that it allows you to upload you own photos, use the iPhone's emoji , post to multiple blogs with one post and control tags and categories for your post. Oh, what I also

I don't remember where I came across this ad, but I thought it was worth while to share! The ad itself is for a Commodore 128 computer released in 1985. Now I have neither owned one of these, nor have I known anyone who has, but I really love the ad. The apple with an arrow on it on top of a bowler hat is just awesome.As far as I remember the C=128 never really sold that many units. I think that
