USA, A-OK!
Well it appears my Foreigner post was a bit hasty: 3G iPads will be out April 30th! Unfortunately as I found out today, they aren’t doing pick up reservations yet. For now I just have to stew over whether to get the 16 or 32GB model. In the meantime I went back to the Apple [...]
LEGO Games . . . Not the Video Kind
Kids these days know LEGO mostly through branded junk like Star Wars, Batman, and Indiana Jones1, or worse, the video games2 based on them. It appears LEGO has now decided to try their hand at the whole game thing, but with actual bricks! It looks like they’ve harnessed the excitement of board games and combined [...]

Weight Loss:
A Story Told Through Pokemon1
I’ve been plus sized for most of my life, and not even the cool “BIG AND TALL” way or anything2, just fat (although not as bad as those kids on Shaq’s Big Challenge). Through high school I pretty much maintained the same weight up to a point, and by some time in college I was [...]
Burgers vs Apps
This topic of real world objects vs iPhone apps tends to come up a lot in discussions about app pricing.

Shot Watch Progress
I’m getting old and the button presses aren’t getting any faster. My high (from a few months back) remains 138, while the closest I’ve gotten in the past week or two is 130. It’s at least some progress though, when I had restarted the shot watch crusade I was having trouble breaking 110, but now [...]
CARAVAN TIME!
Actually this won’t have much (if anything) to do with the caravans themselves, just “caravan mode.” That said the Hudson Caravan craze is pretty cool, read up about it over on Hudson’s site here. Caravan mode is another name for time attack mode. For the Hudson tours (where it got the name) as well as [...]
