One of the reasons I have not posted anything since the end of Jan is that I’ve been busy working on an iPad app. Â But I decided to take a 10 min break from Xcode and discuss a quick topic that struck me tonight. First, make sure you are sitting down because I’m going to…

High Tech Monorails Airs Sunday
High Tech Monorails is a documentary I edited for my friend Rob Kelly. Â It’s airing on Travel Channel and Travel HD several times this month starting Sunday at 7pm PST. Â Set your TiVo and be sure watch it! The show covers several of the world’s best monorails including the Schwebebahn in Wuppertal Germany, which was…
Did you watch V?
What’s better to help me forget about that stolen iPhone other than a new big budget prime time sci fi show to watch. Gosh V, that’s a big TV… I watched, hoping for a BSG-style re-imagined remake of the 80’s original and I got the feeling that’s what they were going after. For some reason…
Boom!BOOM! Shotgun PRO App-ers Wage War on Competition
In 1986 I went into my local Atari ST store and was furious to find a cheap Othello-type game selling for $30 – which was like 100 bucks in ’86. Â Why sooo serious?! Â Well, because in my opinion it was a total rip off. Â First off it showed no creativity – the graphics were just…

Diffusion Dark this week
It’s been a rather busy week and it’s not going to let up any time soon. It’s probably better that I accept defeat right now. I’ll be back next week with a review of the Harman/Kardon AVR254 and some discussion of 7.1 Audio. In the mean time here’s a nice little distraction…
HD TiVo Day-Count wars
My buddy Andrew sent in this photo. He has the same HR10-250 that I have, but his days-without-a-daily-call count trumps mine by almost a year. He was wondering if he gets a prize. Hey, maybe as a reward I’ll play some Xbox with you.
If puppets were aware…

2009 Predictions
Happy New Year! About an hour ago there was a roar outside that sounded like a 747 driving down my quiet residential street. It was the constant and combined blasts of thousands of fireworks going off 10 to 15 miles away at the Las Vegas Strip. It was so loud that it could even be…
