European NonSense

Breaking News: "According to new rules unanimously passed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or Icann, at its meeting here, any company, organization or country will soon be able to apply for a new Web address extension, called a top-level domain." New York Times Article

If everyone has a top-level domain, then no one will benifit from having a top-level domain. Addresses like .com and .org will be even more valuable. If Icann achieved anything it made it easier to distinguish top-level content from homemade content.

If everyone is Special, no one is Special.

Energy Drinks? Who needs them?

Truth be told I am the only person in my office building that drinks Diet Dr. Pepper. I tried Tea, not strong enough. I tried energy drinks, too strong. I get too shaky. My hands start to tremble. Which made me think? Are Energy Drink just another marketing success story. Like plastic Water Bottles for a $1.00. These Energy drinks often cost between $1.75 to $3.00. Are they really worth it when you can get a Diet Dr. Pepper or a Diet Coke for 0.75 cents?

I don't like them at all I am sticking to Diet Dr. Pepper, even if people think I am wierd.

Finally an iPhone I can afford!



Yes price is a big dealbreaker for The George. I have not gone over to Blu-Ray because I really don't want to spend and additional $500 just to see the wrinkles on Matt Damon's face. I waited two years for the BlackBerry Curve to drop in price. Now I can finally have an iPhone. I can finally buy an Apple product without the use of Credit Card! Behold the new Hotness at Engadget.

Sine qua non Hillary.


Obama has won the Democratic Nomination . . . oh wait let's rephrase that. Hillary Clinton's trainwreck of a campaign is over. "But she lost because America wasn't ready for a woman . . ." Whatever bro, stop crying in your pillow. Hillary lost because her campaign was incompetent and didn't bother reaching out to the grassroots. She never tapped into the anger surrounding the Iraq War or George Bush's lack on leadership. She was the Miller High Life "Champagne of Beers Candidate."

Saying your the best and proving you are the best are two different things. Sine qua non Hillary.

Obama is Thrall!

Aimee Mann? Where have I been?

Sometimes I feel so out of touch I should kick myself. I just discovered Aimee Mann. Perhaps she has just reached critical mass. Yeah Jenny was right.

Conan and a Sandwich!


Please note, you can not eat a sandwich and play Age of Conan. Age of Conan requires your full attention. The combat system relies on combos, which require 2 to 3 keystrokes.

I am considering moving to protein bars and M&M's.

The End of Warcraft


At least for me, I never thought I would stop playing World of Warcraft. But along came Age of Conan, and I am hooked. I stopped pressing buttons and started having fun.

I have played a Paladin since day one in Warcraft and have seen my role diminish from that of a warrior in armor to a healer in armor, to a back up healer in armor. Not so in Age Conan.

Here I play a conquerer, a two-handed DPS machine that wears armor and has buff and can heal, surprisingly similar to what a Paladin was intended to be. I may return to the World of Warcraft, but for now I serve Conan!

Further Proof of the Eee PC's Hotness

Yeah I am big cheerleader for the Eee PC right now. All I need from a device and the ability to Plug and Play. Check out this photos.

Eee PC MacBook Air Killer!



I declare the Apple MacBook Air dead. How can you seriously spend $1,800 on a "notebook" with only an 80 GB Hard Drive and no external ports. Nice machine if just Blog and send e-mails. But for $1,800 I can buy "FOUR" Eee PC's all with USB ports and external video for presentations.

For example the Asus Eee PC, which runs Windows XP or Linux, sells for less than $400.

I am waiting for Dell to announce theirs tonight at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2008, see the full results on Engadget.com

Blackberry Blogging

Hey guys long time huh? Well I got new job in software sales and now I also have a Blackberry Curve from Verizon.(The true test of functionality is if I can update my Blog from it.)

So here's to first time.
