  • Why the PS3 Will Suck

    If you know me, you know I am a big Xbox 360 fan.  Heck, I have a whole category devoted to my 360 diatribes.  But the funny thing is I don’t want the PS3 to suck, although it is going to. Here’s the deal:  Sony screwed up big time and got out-maneuvered by Microsoft.  And…

  • Valentines Day

    p>I’d say we had a pretty unique Valentine’s Day: First I gave her my gifts: Put the wedding CD I created on her iPod Nano and changed the Artist to the wedding day, the album to “Scott Loves Samantha”, and changed each song album cover to a picture of us. Compiled another wedding CD from…

  • My Quest for Bicerin

    On Friday night, I speedily made my way through my TiVo’d Torino Olympic Ceremonies.  Most of the 3–some hour marathon was pointless and boring, but one 2 minute segment caught my eye. It was about a quaint cafe that sits across from a church, called “Al Bicerin” . It is famous for it’s drink, Bicerin…

  • Overheard at the Office

    I am sorry, but I find this hilarious. Read at your own peril :): Steve says: Dude Tom says: Dude Steve says: I forgot to tell you… Steve says: gots a zit right under my eyelid Tom says: HOLY COW Steve says: yup Tom says: under it? Tom says: like facing your eyeball? Steve says:…

  • Cirque Du Soleil Ka was Ka-rap

    If you have seen any other Cirque show, you will agree that this show is very sub par.  I went to Las Vegas specifically to see this show, so it was a big let down. The reason we like Cirque is the awesome combination of art, ingenuity and acrobatics. This show has LOTS of ingenuity…

  • Tomorrow: Biggest Fight Ever

    Oh yes, it's time for some Mixed Martial Arts action, a la the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The biggest fight the UFC has ever had is upon us tomorrow night, when Randy Couture and Chuck Liddel go at for the third time. I will be at Hooters in Hollywood if anyone wants to join the fun…

  • I am NetfixFan’s Enemy

    Here is my response to NetflixFan wondering why her four movies are taking so long: Three of the four movies she is waiting for passed through my hands in the last week.  Granted we have different distribution centers, but still deserves a smile :). What she needs: What I got:

  • Traffic.com

    Now that I moved farther away from work, and am forced to take some gnarly freeways, Sigalert.com got very tiring. It has gaping holes on very important freeways, and is hard to read quickly. Starting this week I found and started using Traffic.com. I set up a bunch of different routes I can take to…

  • Time Wasters

    I just stumbled on these three sites in the last few days. Thought I would pass them on: Ask a NinjaI can’t get the theme song out of my head. Stuff on My CatSelf descriptive Cute OverloadYup, cute.

  • 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.…
