Perpetuum Jazzile - Africa

This starts off very quite but gets cool really fast. These guys are great!

Hank Johnson - Moron.

Ok, Hank Johnson (GA) must have been high on fu-fu weed to even say that the island of Guam would tip over and capsize if we relocate more people to one side of the island. Augh! Really? I mean how did the guy get elected?

iPad? iDon't

Well the big hype this weekend is the release of Apple's new iPad (insert your joke regarding name here). Yet I'm not in the market for one. Why? Well several reasons.

First I can't really see how I can integrate this into my life. You see, I have a desktop and a laptop computer.... and an iPhone. So whether I'm at a client (laptop), home (desktop), or on the road (iphone) I already have a connection to my mail, news, apps, and internet.

Second, it still does not multi task. I could see myself taking this to meetings and taking notes, however I would need it to also record the audio of the meeting, run a timer clock, have skype running for conference calls and have a internet window open for quick research. Yet... the iPad can only do one thing at a time. Shame really. Apple is marketing to basic consumers, not business people.... yet it's the business folks who have the big bucks and would pay more.

Third, limited communication. If it had a forward facing camera then I could see using it as a way to skype with others anywhere. It also does not make conference calls (skype is not even an app in Apples store), it does not even have a microphone for voice input. Major missed opportunity for once again integrating it into the business world.

Over time the iPad will become more powerful and will eventually feature multitasking and voice, however until then, I will pass on the device. So I'm sticking with my iPhone. Maybe next year.

What will you do? leave your comments below.

Another Fantastic One-Shot Video

Amazing!!!

Damn Cool Video with No Cutaways

I really think they did a bang-up job with this video... and note, they didn't use any cutaways. Which means the video had to work from start to finish. Really impressive Mystery Guitar Man!

Plants vs Zombies mp3

Musician and writer of the music used in Plants vs Zombies. Way cool stuff, and you can download a mp3 of the theme-song.

When is the Best Time to Buy Stuff?

Lifehacker has a good article outlining the best time of year to buy stuff. Some is straightforward... like buying wintergear at the end of winter, however others are a bit less obvious. They've talked with the experts and are divulging their findings... Check it out.

The Arrogant Senator, Jim Bunning

Let me say that I don't use this place as a stage for my political views, however I was outraged by the arrogance of Senator Jim Bunning (r) when he decided to block a jobs bill for funding for the unemployed.

The audacity to keep those in need waiting while your political view is heard is so selfish. Millions are unemployed and many need that money to pay for the basics of life, and to hold that money back due to selfish political jockeying is anti-American and anti-Christian.

I had to speak out against such arrogance, such lack of caring for your fellow man, and such political maneuvers to take food from those in need just to make a point.

Shame of Senator Jim Bunning and shame on those who support him.

Plants vs Zombies for the iPhone!!!

Plants vs Zombies for the iPhone is a fantastic new game by Pop Caps. I have to say that I've spent hours playing the game... which makes it a great value for the money.

Though the game starts off easy, it slowly becomes more difficult, and soon a strategy is needed to survive the levels. Casual Gameplay has put together a very nice walkthrough article to assist folks with forming a strategy.

If you have an iPhone and want a low cost game with good graphics and great playability, then download Plants vs Zombies. If you need a strategy to win, check out Casual Gameplay.
