Mario Live Wallpaper for Android [zOMG!]

Here’s another one for my fellow Android fans: a Super Mario Live Wallpaper! If your phone runs Android 2.1 or higher, this FREE download allows you to mimic a non-interactive game right in the background of your phone.

The Best Way to Hold an iPhone 4

While I fully acknowledge the fact that the iPhone is one of the best cell phones worldwide, I can’t help but be miffed by the poor engineering that contributes to the iPhone 4 antenna problem, as well as Apple’s “just don’t hold it that way” attitude toward the issue. At least the web is full […]

However, J was — and still is — into his Facebook games and often spends his free time trading weapons, planting veggies, re-decorating his restaurant, and whatnot.

Star Wars Father’s Day Video Card

Back in May, I asked J if he would be doing anything for me for Mother’s Day. “Why? The baby’s not born yet,” was his response. Well, obviously not everyone shared his sentiments because when I called my own mother to wish her a happy Mother’s Day she wished the same for me in return. […]
