Just announced a new canon consumer SLR. Superceding the T1i and roughly $900MSRP it is not going to compete with Nikon’s D5000 or similar bodies. In traditional SLR camera fashion we will have to wait 2+ months to find out what the goods really deliver.

It’s Craptastic™!
February 4th, 2010 — Uncategorized
The media distribution company formally known as Comcast (see their Comcastic commercials here) realized that they were a shitty company with a reputation of poor customer service, outdated technology, draconian policies, and uncompetitive prices. After consulting with their various business experts about the costs of fixing such reputational issues they realized that they would rather just change their name, and ruin that one too.
What’s Missing From The iPad
January 28th, 2010 — Uncategorized
After having a chance to read the initial reviews and reactions over at ArsTechnica, Engadget, & cnet I have come to some conclusions. The iPad is evolutionary, not revolutionary. As ArsTechnica put it, it has not been met with the same reaction that the iPhone had when it was announced. It does not seem like some amazing paradigm shifting, innovative new product that simply blows everything currently offered out of the water. It seems like just a logical offering of Apple to try and capture more of a complete line of technology products. There are some glaring omissions that may lead to it’s ultimate demise.

Why the iPad will be like the Newton and not the iPod.
January 28th, 2010 — Apple, Technology
So yesterday Apple announced it’s new ‘tablet’ device dubbed the iPad. It has been speculated for nearly 2 years and has finally been unveiled and I have to say, on this one, I am exceedingly underwhelmed. Continue reading →
Colts & Saints both Classy – The NFL, who knows?
January 21st, 2010 — Football, Sports, playoffs
The Colts have named Edgerin James as an honorary captain for this weekend’s AFC Title Game. The move, purely a motivational one, was nearly identical to one made by the Saints last weekend. They named former rusher Deuce McAllister as their honorary captain before he announced his retirement this week. The moves show how classy and understanding both of these organizations are.

Fun with Math and Rankings – The Colts D is not that bad.
January 19th, 2010 — Football, Sports, playoffs
Welcome to the NFL. People are very slow to react to NFL trends. Ask the average Fan-on-the-Street who the best NFL defense this year and you’ll get some who will tell you the correct statistical answer, the Jets, primarily because they have now won two playoff games with a rookie QB and a loud mouthed rookie head coach who is telling everyone who will listen how good his defense is. When it comes to defining #2-#5, old habits die hard.

I don’t like typing a full review, but after using my new Droid for the past 2 weeks I can honestly say, THIS THING IS AWESOME. It’s an amazing device. I will just give you some brief highlights and some low lights for those of you still trying to stay away.

Playoff Picture™ Week 15
December 16th, 2009 — Football, Sports, Uncategorized, playoffs
14 Weeks down, 13 games played, 3 more to go. Things are getting exciting in the final sprint for the playoffs. The Colts may be ready to shut it down. The Cowboys also look to be shutting it down, but not because they have sown up homefield or anything, because for some unexplained reason they always collapse in December, and once again they are doing the same thing. The Saints are still marching and things in the AFC Wildcard are clear as Mud.
