Alright, so Part II of my E3 observations... the Wii U (Wii University?!?!?!) Now, it is me, or is this contraption just weird? Now, to be fair I did think that the original Wii was a bit weird having a controller schema that was so unlike previous joypad schemas - and in the end, having used a Wii at my brother's place, I didn't find it all that bad.  The Wii U sort of reminds me a bit of the

Last week I was wondering if anything came out of E3 that was worthwhile.  I honestly did not know that E3 was even happening! I had connected my XBOX360 to the web to see if there were any firmware updates to be done, and I saw some xbox live gold special, $2 for a 2 month subscription, and E3 special. In any case, this piqued my interested and I was wondering what was happening with the next

This past weekend I was considering getting a couple of expansion packs for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood as well as Bioshock 2 for my xbox360.  In addition I was on my PSP and I downloaded the "welcome back" pack, for free, that was available after some sort of snafu that happened on PSN.  I downloaded little big planet and pursuit force - nice! I was also tempted to pay $20 to buy Assassin's

I downloaded the mobile version of blackboard for my iPhone this past weekend since the instance of blackboard that we have for testing has mobile enabled. This would be a good opportunity, I thought, to test the mobile elements of the blackboard learn 9 platform.When I opened the app and tried to connect to our instance I was greeted with the message in the image - must connect to wifi in order to

I guess iCloud is the next best thing in the Apple domain.  Man this service has changes so many names over the years; iTools in 2000, .Mac (dot Mac) in 2002, MobileMe in 2008 and in 2011 it's going to be iCloud. I just got the following email from Apple regarding the service: Dear MobileMe member,We'd like to share some exciting news with you about iCloud — Apple’s upcoming cloud service,

This past weekend was quite a movie weekend for me.  I honestly have not seen that many movies in a while!  Some were good, and some were just plain disappointing!  Let me start off with my MAJOR disappointment:  Resident Evil Afterlife.  I really had high hopes for this movie. I meant to see it in the theaters, in 3D, but I ended up missing it. I think I was lucky that I did

I have to admit that I've been warming up to Windows these past few years. I really disliked everything before Vista.  I don't know if it's a sign of a maturing computer user (less dogmatic) or if Microsoft is pushing out a better product (or both?), but one thing is certain, with each release of Windows there has been more incentive to use it.  Having a Mac that is able to run both operating

Since WWDC is next week, here's an item from my wish list for the next iOS: better iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch integration!  I saw this with HP's WebOS event a few months ago where HP's WebOS tablet was able to seamlessly exchange data with a WebOS phone.  If a user were browsing something on safari their iPhone for, they could easily (it seemed) get that on their tablet via some sort of proximity

This past weekend it happened, I completed the third installment of Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood!  I have to say that I played through this game trying to prolong my game play by taking on as many side missions as possible. I really did enjoy playing this game so much that I did not want it to end.  My plan of attack was to tackle side missions in-between the main memory

Now THIS is cool! I never thought I'd ever become a Dr. Who fan, and now more Whogeeks are creating original retro art ;-)
