My Reaction to the Facebook Smartphone is… Why do I need this?
Seriously. However, I guarantee there are several people out there who will just have to be first in line to get one. Lets examine my current situation – I do, in fact, own a smartphone. It is the HTC Thunderbolt, a 4G LTE smartphone I bought for myself while Verizon was running the promotion giving 4GB for the price of 2GB. It works perfectly fine, though at times the battery does leave a bit to be desired. I have to charge it every night, and that is the only problem I have with it. I’d say the only reason I’d … Continue reading My Reaction to the Facebook Smartphone is… Why do I need this?
Going the Distance 030: Cooking By The Book
Essentially, if you’ve ever seen Lazytown, you know what this is. Again, without color, this was really tough to pull off in the newspaper. Catchy song though. In Going the Distance, our main character, “You,” has to manage to make his way to delicious cake. Sounds simple, right? But there are deadly spikes to deal with, and a host of other problems that appear each time. Let’s just say You fails more often than You succeeds. After all, it wouldn’t be much of a quest if You could just get cake whenever You wanted, would it? For more background on … Continue reading Going the Distance 030: Cooking By The Book

The Gamer Quiz: What’s your type?

With that in mind, I’ve devised this ingenious gaming quiz. Based on facts compiled from dozens of scenarios that I … Continue reading The Gamer Quiz: What’s your type?
No Show This Week
We really tried to have an episode ready. We did. Unfortunately, the cosmic forces decided that wasn’t going to happen. Shaun and I moved this past weekend, you see, and with it came a litany of problems (some of which we mentioned on air for last week’s show). The new place is great, and we’ll probably post boring pictures of it somewhere down the road. However, because the apartments took 37 days to tell us whether or not we were approved, we don’t have any internet until June. Makes it tough to record an internet radio show, huh. Hell, we … Continue reading No Show This Week
