Second look at the Playstation Vita
Back in February I wrote here that I’d be waiting until a price drop for the Vita. Well the Assassin’s Creed bundle basically did that for me. I got a 4G memory card, the AC3 game, and the Vita for the MSRP of just the Vita alone. The machine is amazing with all sorts of interesting ways […]

The Book Garden
Monday the 22nd I went up to Montpelier to check out The Book Garden as a more local Friendly Local Game Store, the alternatives being in Burlington or West Leb. The store is small and had a small but good selection of the better board games: Dominion, Puerto Rico, Quarriors, 7 Wonders, Munchkin, Ticket to […]
Le Havre for the iPad
I’ve been waiting for this game to hit iPad for a while now. I tried it out at the Bookery Boardgame Club in Fairborn a while back and it’s a great game. The board game version has a ton of pieces, go figure–it was made by the designer who did Agricola. Lot’s of little chits, […]

Cutthroats game in Playstation Home
I just found out about the pirate themed game in Playstation Home. I know it’s been around for a bit but I haven’t updated my Home software in a long time. The game is a team shoot-em-up with one person at the helm of a ship and up to six people manning the guns. Each […]
Microsoft Surface: All about the ecosystem
So the new Microsoft Surface product was announced on Monday. It’s a hybrid tablet-laptop and it looks really cool. Lot’s has been written about it and the wars between iFaithful and MicroSofties are breaking out in post comments all over the web. My opinion is that Microsoft has a chance to build an ecosystem with […]

Far too busy this holiday season
It has been a crazy holiday season. So mush so that my traditional Xmas theme for the web site didn’t even get posted this year. Sorry 2010 but I didn’t have enough time to mod the site with Xmas stuff. Let’s hope 2011 calms down a bit…

Gone back to iPhone
So I tried it. I really did. I spent almost a month in the Android ecosystem trying to love my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. Alas, yesterday I returned to the iPhone. I found the Xperia Play a little slow. Switching between a game and texting was painfully slow. The text app also didn’t sort messages […]

Switching from iPhone to Android
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is finally on the AT&T network so I have made the jump from the iPhone to an Android device. It’s been quite an adjustment to go from the Apple worlds where iTunes does everything for you and Apple’s design rules ensure that most apps look and behave in a similar […]

Loading up an ASUS 1215N
The ASUS 1215 came out of the box with Windows 7 premium home edition. The nice thing that ASUS does is partition the drive into two drives. There’s a 100G C:\ drive and the rest of the drive is in a separate D:\ drive. This makes loading Linux extremely easy. The D:\ drive can be […]

Making the switch… back to Linux/Windows
I’ve been a long time Mac fan. I made the switch back in 1996 and was even more hooked after the move to Unix as the core of Mac OS in 2000. I have had an Apple laptop as my primary work machine since the G3 Pismo model. I’ve been working more and more with […]
