A Review of: 300

300 was Awesome, I don’t care what anyone else says.
My Review: 8
Now, I will admit freely, right off the bat: I am a former comic book collector and a sci-fi / fantasy nerd. So I am not exactly impartial to this genre of film making. But I think they did a [...]

My Review of: The Silver Bullet

My Review: 6.5
I am not referring to the myth that you can kill a werewolf with a “silver bullet.” Obviously silver is way too soft of a metal to use as a slug in a bullet.
(I sounded like I knew what I was talking about there, huh? I think lead is actually [...]

Words that end with the letter combination “mn”

Column. Damn. Autumn. Condemn. Hymn.
My Review: 7
These are interesting words with an interesting letter combination. What’s the point? Why have those letters together if they do nothing for pronunciation? I mean, we could really get into it on the phonetics of the English language, so I don’t want to [...]

A Review of Flavor

My Rating: 3.5
Contrary to popular belief, flavor (or flavour if you’re pretentious) is caused by a combination of both taste and smell. Because it is a combination of two senses, not just one, it is an art not a science. For this very reason flavor is illusive and often betrays our better judgement. [...]

A Review Of the Pacific Ocean, part 1

My Review: 8
It’s big.  It’s salty.  Mostly it’s blue.  That’s right, I’m talking about the Pacific Ocean.  This is the largest of the 5 oceans in the world.  New Zealand and California share an ocean; they share it with Japan.  Sweet.  The Pacific Ocean has an area of 155.557 million square kilometers.  It is a [...]

Chafing – it hurts

My Rating: 2
It’s not often discussed, but Chafing sucks a lot. Let’s say you’re taking a hike. You’re excited because you don’t often get to hike. You sit in front of a computer and you want to reconnect to the outdoors. You start on your little hike and about 20 minutes [...]

The Daily Reel in Review

My Review:7

The Daily Reel is a cool… site, service, podcast? They are something of a content aggregator, sifting through lots of content on the web and using their site to let you know what you should be watching. Tens of people are sitting in Los Angeles right now, figuring out what you need to [...]

Red Man Chewing Tobacco

My Review: 8.5
There are few pleasures greater than getting into a Ford F-250 at about 7:30am, heading to Home Depot after a restless night of drinking thanks to a few too many shots of Jack, Jerry Reed on the radio singing “East Bound and Down,” heading down Mulholland HWY in the Santa Monica Mountains while [...]

The New iPod Shuffle

My review: 7.5
The new ipod shuffle is really cool. I got it as a Valentine’s Day present from my fiancee (she kicks ass) and I use it almost every day. As usual, Apple hit it right with form factor and design, and this little device fixes the issues [...]

Photobucket Videos Blocked On MySpace

My Review: 5
           
Lots of blogs are writing about Photobucket’s user generated videos being blocked on MySpace. Techcrunch wrote it up, and Om Malik did a great write up on Giga OM here. I think this whole thing is quite a big deal for the guys at Photobucket, though their CEO Alex [...]
