File this one under awesome, that is if it’s true. According to trusted sources at Engadget, the Motorola Droid 2 is coming to Verizon on August 12. It won’t be a hyped up launch day, but marketing will take effect in the weeks following. However, what’s awesome about the Droid 2 is that the sources [...]
With the proliferation of electric cars coming out, there is a growing concern that people will unwittingly walk in front of an electric car since the car’s engine make no noise whatsoever. One company is putting a directional speaker that emits a sound akin to a Star Wars spaceship. While it might not be the [...]
I was born in 1977 so I obviously missed Star Wars’ initial theatrical release. I was old enough to remember seeing the second movie in theaters, and I have been a fan of the series since then. I dragged my family to the theater to see Return of the Jedi 6 times. As a kid, some [...]
Fox news took a page from Conan O’Brien (you don’t think they’re courting him too much, do you?). They took celebrity photos and mashed them with politicians, with some comic results. The one that got me the most was the James Bond image. While this one doesn’t use a politician, they took several actors who [...]

Well, to show that I can see what passes for entertainment in Hollywood, I think I might need a pair of polarized sunglasses like these. Avatar won for Best picture at the Golden Globes last night. While I haven’t seen the other movies, I would have to give them the edge in terms of story. But [...]
Sorry, but I got to rant on this one. Good movies have gotten harder and harder to come by. I’m not talking the art films with imagery so complex there’s no plot, I’m talking about mainstream Hollywood pawning off old stories with CGI dressing as new and exciting. Well, for some it might be exciting; [...]
This year for the holidays, my wife and I decided to get ourselves a combined large present instead of a bunch of little presents. We got ourselves a Dynex 22″ flatscreen TV with a built in DVD player for our bedroom. We find it easier to fall asleep when there’s a DVD playing in the [...]
I saw this looking through cnet.com and immediately put it on my Christmas list for this year and next. Not only can you load up to 32 GB of song files, it has a built in receiver for FM radio signals. Now, say what you will about including all your [...]
Well if you’re not you need to check your geek licence because it has expired. The Watchmen is the biggest anticipation for geeks for 2009 and will not be surpassed until the new X-Men movie comes out later in the year. If you are planning on seeing the movie enjoy it. The associated press has [...]
