Congrats, you bunch of jerks. You are making my day. Nothing like taking a few minutes out of an afternoon to moderate the comment spam you think you are leaving behind. No, I don’t want to play Poker online. And the classic quotes attached to your replies does little to make you appear any smarter.

Yeah, they are back. Again. And thankfully, they dropped Bobby. Sort of like how he dropped his dra’s to moon the crowd when we saw them in concert. And they are now on Bad Boy records, backed and produced by Mr Diddy.
Not quite sure how I got it from the new, closer Circuit City this [...]

Ooh. Is the PSP getting a mobile version of Battlefield? IGN seems to think so.
I’m seriously looking forward to the launch of this tight little piece of technology and these little rumors are making the wait that much more painful!

The Robots the follow up from the crew behind Ice Age, has finally hit. Nice to see Robin Williams being able to let loose in another animated feature. Not sure if he’ll top his Genie performance in Aladdin, but he does sound as if he had fun with it.

Filerush.com, my one stop shop for gaming related BitTorrents, has added two new Half Life 2 videos. I checked them out and am to the point where I think that HL2 may do for in-game physics what Doom3 did for atmosphere and lighting. The game looks just amazing, but the physics and interactivity of in [...]

I’ve been wondering if Logitech is going to come out with a MX710, or a wireless MX510 gaming mouse. I already have a MX700, which I love, but have been keeping my eye out for an upgrade. I’m starting to wonder if the mouse up on Gaming Nexus is what I’ll be gaming with.

LAWeekly has a very interesting article up on the history and origins of the Internet Movie Database, one of the best sites on the net, in my opinion. If you want to know who starred in a movie or a TV show, what movies someone has starred in, or even trivia and goofs for movies, [...]

While doing my daily news feed check via FeedDemon, I discoverd that ThinkGeek was carrying Just A Geek , a book I’ve been eyeing for a while. I don’t do much book readin’ these days, as I think my reading eyes are worn out from all the surfing I do, but every once in a [...]

And another Bond bites the dust…
Pierce, you did a great job and I’m happy to see you moving on. The last year has been a pain, I know, but considering the lack of stability with the role, it’s best to go out on your own terms. Bond is still great, but he’s got a lot [...]

Two stars of the CBS hit television series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation were fired for breach of contract. Actors Jorja Fox and George Eads, who play investigators Sara Sidle and Nick Stokes, were fired after asking for more money to stay on the show, according to reports.
A recommendation from a friend a few [...]

Interesting idea being researched by Sony called tranSticks. They refer to them as a “wireless wire”, meaning they function in much the same way as a wired connection would. Think of it as a limited access network between devices. Say you want device A and B to be able to talk, but not device C. [...]

CNN.com is reporting that the MPAA is bragging about bustinga 16 year old at a midnight, opening night showing of Spidey2. More of the usual “fight piracy” stuff. My favorite portion of the articleas the following:
The film industry’s trade group hailed the arrest andcredited its recent initiative to offer cash rewards of up to $500 [...]

Undercity.org is a celebration of New York City and all cities. A city is a pulsing and active organism, full of life; like life, a city is complex with many layers and many hidden meanings. Like a living being, a city does not willingly reveal its complexity and secrets to any random stranger. In order [...]

The Dynamic Duo is back for round two of the American Express ads. Head over to The Adventures of Seinfeld & Superman and click on the “Hindsight” canister on the foreground table.
(If you haven’t seen it, check out “Uniform” before you watch “Hindsight”, as the first is referenced a few times in the second.)
Oh, Yes, [...]

Wow. Don’t know where this one came from. Before today, I’d never heard of Delgo, but after checking the pics, trailer and staff pages, I’m more than a little intrested. A new CGI with names such as Val Kilmer, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Eric Idle, Kelly Ripa, Michael Clarke Duncan, Burt Reynolds, Malcolm McDowell, and Freddie [...]
