Review of Towers: Much better game then I expected I played my fair share of desktop towers back in the day. It was pretty fun, but I mostly burned myself out after a few multi hour sessions. So when Towers first came out ( I guess a month?) ago, I did not bother with it. Well, last night I saw a free version and… Read More

(Please note the leaders in the Pacific Division,… Read More
iPhone, GolfTraxx, GPS… FAIL So far, I have been pretty happy with each GPS app I’ve tried for various tasks; data logging when I bike or run, remembering where my car is, even logging my position when I twitter.

Why vLingo search app is better then google search I liked playing with Google’s voice search app, especially when I used an accent (more on that here) but I had one major complaint about it; if I want a map, I need to say ‘map’ first then the address or term and hope for the best. For example; saying “map … taco bell” will… Read More

But, you have to go through this silly login process: Link to process.. Whatever. It’s not a… Read More

The employee, who would not give his name, did not know when the phones would go on sale, and said the… Read More
