Two Wheels vs. Four Wheels
In light of my car being on the shop, (yet again), I will use this opportunity to take advantage of my trusty two-wheeled friend, who, unlike the gas-guzzling Explorer, is much lighter, nimbler, and has never let me down.
As a hipster in the making it will be my goal over the next 30 days at […]

Valentine’s Day…Ranking the Cast
It’s appropriate enough that this movie came out during NBA All-Star weekend, as the recipe for this movie was basically to throw in a bunch of good looking people together for fun entertainment, and not necessarily to satisfy the purists.
Below then is how they ranked, females first:

2)
I squealed every time she came […]

Reaching Life’s “Boss Level”
Since I’ve been home in the past few days I’ve spent a good amount of time re-playing old NES/SNES games, namely the Mario series and reliving that childhood nostalgia.

Facebook Real time Search = $1 Trillion valuation
I exaggerate only a little bit.
http://mashable.com/2009/06/16/facebook-search-2/
Facebook is testing a realtime search engine for users’ news feeds that will challenge Twitter search, the company revealed on its blog today.
Say what you will about Twitter, but the Iranian situation has shown that its real time search feature is unmatched in providing live information just as it’s happening.
