J and I caught Predators last weekend and it was awesomely bad as expected. I won’t give away any details, but I will say that there is one fantastic death scene that seemed to cause the entire theater to gasp. I’ve always been a sucker for scifi b-movies and the Predator films are no exception (yes, even the AVP movies). […]
SwiftKey: Another Kickass Keyboard for the Android
Remember when I wrote about Swype? Since downloading what has been called “the fastest keyboard for mobile phones” my mobile life has unquestionably changed for the better.

“Sent From My…” Email Signatures
I was reading Lifehacker’s The Worst Email Habits and Annoyances You Should Avoid (or At Least Be Aware Of) and was surprised to read that email signatures containing “Sent from my iPhone/iPad/BlackBerry/mobile” made the top of the list. I honestly don’t mind these signature lines, as almost all of my iPhone-toting friends still use the […]

Canon is confident that by the year 2030, technology will have advanced enough that the need for different lenses will become obsolete.

“The Giving Tree” Decal for the iPad
I don’t care that some people think The Giving Tree is a depressing book and/or teaches bad morals (subsequently bannning it from their homes). It’s still one of my all-time favorite books and if I had an iPad, I would totally get this decal! Via The Daily What. You may also like: Amazing 200-Year-Old Desk with Insane Hidden […]
