  • Xbox360: Best System Since the NES

    I didn’t realize how much I missed the original Nintendo. There is something in the controllers and games simplicity that made it so fun. It was easy to use (when the cartridge would work) and the game seemed magical. Ever since, game systems have gotten better graphics, but with it more complex controllers and games.…

  • Perfect Dark Zero

    Being one of the lucky ones to have an Xbox 360, I try to play it every day. Lately, it has been Perfect Dark Zero. What is fun for me is that my buddy Alan and I play the game missions co-operatively together. We hook up each night for about an hour and play the…

  • iPod with Video Fun

    The one gift I got this Christmas/Channuka was a new iPod. Technically, I got several gifts that I didn't like and took them back to get it, but whatev's…I got it. I have had an iPod since the day they came out for Windows. I mean, this thing looks vintage. It's big, its scratched up,…

  • Changes

    Wow, I thought I was busy before… Two months ago, I came home one night and my wife had an idea to buy my Grandmother’s house nearby. After thinking about it and getting stressed out on the mortgage payment, we went for it. A week after that, we found out that she was pregnant. So…

  • 34 Prius Tips You May Not Know

    Well, 33 actually. I took this from a Priuschat forum because the forum has a tendency to get slow and sometimes not load at all. I wanted this not to get lost, so I took liberties to reprint it here. 😉 1. WHY YOU SHOULD INSTALL A MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUG. The oil in your Prius…

  • Home Audio Solution

    So I’m buying a house. I didn’t think it was ever going to be possible while living in the Los Angeles area, but I got a good deal, and now I shall be living and improving our new 4 bedroom 1800 sq. ft. place in Burbank. Although a lot of work has to go into…
