In New York State, it’s against the law to hold a cell phone up to your head and talk while you’re driving. You’re supposed to use a hands-free device or speakerphone instead. Still, many people can’t be bothered, and it’s quite evident how this affects their driving. »»More
The latest offering from Nintendo’s Mario Kart franchise was launched today, and thanks to the nearest Wal-Mart being open 24 hours a day, that meant midnight. Kelly and I were there, brought the game home… and before we knew it, it was already 3 AM. There are good things and bad things about this game. Read on… »»More
Back in November, I ranted about the New York State Thruway’s plan to raise tolls. Today, they voted to approve the toll hikes. Shame on you, Thruway Authority. Shame on you!!
Look at this thing! I was working on something entirely different, when I saw an ad for the CatGenie. Just for fun I clicked on the ad, then checked out the thrilling video demo. Immediately, I dropped the project I was working on to write the very post you’re reading now. Seriously — does anyone have this? Does it actually work, or is it just a big scam? »»More
Whether or not you have a Gmail account, check out their April Fool’s joke today:

Sadly… I actually believed it for a minute, until I got down to the complex mathematical formula. Working with people who don’t bother with April Fool’s Day jokes (or at least they haven’t yet), you lose your guard a little bit. »»More
Before I get into my review, I must tell you I’ve never been a big fan of fighting games. The only reason I ever played “Super Street Fighter II” or even “Mortal Kombat” was because one of my best friends at the time had both games, we always hung out at his house, and it was all he ever wanted to play. I just played for lack of choice, but never really got into it enough to learn all the combos, special moves and such.
Even now, I don’t know all the special moves — nor do I plan on taking the time to learn them all — but the chance to play as Mario, Link, Zelda, Samus Aran and dozens of other popular characters from every major Nintendo series greatly outweighs any opinion or dislike I’ve had for any other fighting games in the past. »»More
Just a quick post to share two websites I’ve recently discovered and recommend:
woot.com - They sell just one item, but it changes every day at midnight, central time. It’s usually stuff I don’t want or need, but still a daily “must-visit” in case they have a really good offer.
livenewscameras.com - You can watch live video feeds from TV stations all over the country, and the world. I could go on, but you just have to see it for yourself.
(3/23/08) One week ago, I announced a problem regarding a plugin that connects the “main” site with the photo gallery. Well, it turns out others were having the same problem, thanks to a recent upgrade by my hosting provider. Finally, the problems appear to be fixed! The link to Peter’s Pix should be working fine. Let me know (by posting a comment to this article) if you notice any problems of which I may be unaware.
When I was younger, I could have sworn every Dunkin Donuts was open 24 hours a day. Everyone remembers those commercials with Fred the Baker talking about how it was always “time to make the donuts.” Daytime, nighttime, always making the donuts. But lately, it seems being open 24/7 is more the exception than the rule. That sucks and here’s why. »»More
News Headline of the Week
Tags: Britney Spears
As I was browsing news headlines… this one just struck me as VERY strange:
Britney Gives Sister Advice on Motherhood
Riiiiight. Let’s hope the younger Spears knows well enough to disregard ANYTHING she was told during that conversation.
