Back in June, I reviewed three Want2Vape Signature Blend e-liquids and was very impressed. This time around, I cover three juices from the company’s other lines: RY4, Rock Star, and The Blond. Whereas the Want2Vape Signature Blends e-liquids are straight-up, in-your-face tobacco, these juices are lighter, but still very enjoyable. Two of them mix tobacco … Continue reading “Vaping Diaries #90: Want2Vape Review II”
Rockstar Games has posted a gameplay trailer for Grand Theft Auto Online (embedded below). Based off of the video, the game looks like an impressive mix of GTA gameplay, competitive play, cooperative play, and user-created content. That’s…impressive. There’s a very high chance that people will be drawn to the game because of the Grand Theft Auto name … Continue reading “Grand Theft Auto Online Trailer”
The other day I was reading an ESPN.com roundtable on NBA shooting guards. I was absolutely floored by something Graydon Gordian from 48 Minutes From Hell wrote about Houston Rockets guard James Harden. Check it out: Harden is only 23 years old. In five years he’ll be 28. This is a stunning revelation. I’m so grateful that … Continue reading “ESPN’s Stunning Analysis of James Harden”
Motorola officially unveiled the Motorola X Android phone in New York today. The company is taking a unique approach with this phone, offering several customization options and adding some clever software tricks on top of Google Android. However, many of its internal components are middle-of-the-road and the Motorola X is priced like a high-end phone. … Continue reading “Today’s Poll: The Motorola X and You”
After the terribly uneven X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Marvel’s most famous mutant needed a kick to the X-gene. For the most part, he gets that in The Wolverine. Based (very) loosely on Chris Claremont’s highly regarded 1982 Wolverine miniseries, this movie focuses on Logan’s activities in Japan — one of the most fascinating aspects of the … Continue reading “Random Thoughts on The Wolverine”
I’m excited for Avril Lavigne’s video for “Rock N Roll.” I don’t care about the song. I’m excited because the video features Danica McKellar showing off her stomach, wearing leather, and sporting turquoise fishnet stockings. Danica McKellar is hot because she was the adorable girl next door in The Wonder Years and grew up to be … Continue reading “Danica McKellar Gets Sexy in Avril Lavigne Video”
With “Always on My Mind” closing out s2e2 of The Newsroom, lots of my Internet nerd friends were raving about Willie Nelson. They praised his distinct voice that used behind-the-beat timing and unique phrasing. While I dig Willie Nelson on multiple levels, the surge in his popularity (in the nerd world, anyway) got me thinking about voices in popular music that I find unique. Of course there are obvious ones like Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. For millions of people Elvis Presley’s voice is synonymous with rock and roll. After thinking about it for a few days, three vocalists stood out — Roy Orbison, Barry Gibb, and…more
There are many things that I love about social media. It’s awesome how it connects people. It’s great that it gives fans a way to interact with celebrities. It’s also amusing to see it used when friendships go sour. In the San Francisco Bay Area tech community, it was common for squabbling people to unfollow … Continue reading “When Kobe Unfollowed Dwight on Twitter”
While most of the products we buy are made in China, there has been a shift to make (or at least assemble) more goods in America. Apple’s Mac Pro (Texas), Nissan’s Leaf electric car (Tennessee), and a few Lenovo computers (North Carolina) are some of the products that are now being assembled in the USA. … Continue reading “Motorola X Advertisement Boasts Assembled in the USA”
It’s going to be a violent and sarcastic weekend for me, because I’ll be hanging out with Marvel’s lovable merc with a mouth while I play Deadpool. I’m really looking forward to this game, but in a rather unusual way. I’ve heard…not-so-good things about the gameplay. I’m prepared to deal with that. Since Deadpool is one … Continue reading “What Are You Playing This Weekend?”
