Stop Facebook Wallin’

February
26

So a bunch of Harrison cops are in hot water for making sexual jokes on Facebook about the town supervisor, a 74-year-old woman.

The cops made the comments by posting on each other’s walls. As a five-year Facebook veteran, it is time I impart some wisdom.

I’m not a big fan of wallin’. It creates a paper [...]

There’s a new service out called TrapCall that will unmask blocked numbers on your phone. The way it works is when you get an incoming call from a blocked number, you can route the call to TrapCall’s servers that decrypt the digital [...]

I just got my hands on Street Fighter 4 this past weekend, and holy crap it rocks my world. The game totally has the old school game play of the original games in the series but they beefed up with incredibly gorgeous graphics.

February

Hooray, it’s not just me.

Google now has this tool called Insight, where you start typing in something under search and it brings up the most popular searches based on those words.

But my little brother pointed out something awesome, try it for yourself. I took a screen grab of me typing in the phrase “why do [...]

G.I. Joe movie, please don’t suck

February
2

I’ve been a nervous wreck all day.

Yesterday, as I was watching the Super Bowl on my beloved 120-inch HD projector screen, I watched the trailer for the G.I. Joe movie coming out this summer.

G.I. Joe was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. What on Earth is all this high-tech slow motion Matrix crap [...]

January

You’re welcome.

Taking your car into Manhattan for a night on the town by yourself to visit a Chinese massage parlor always results in the hassle of finding a good parking spot.

And if you’re like me, after driving around for miles trying to find a free spot, you sell your soul to the dark side and [...]
