After purchasing an internet connected Blu-Ray player (better known as a PS3) this past December, I decided I wanted to get the most from my purchase. I had already built a solid DVD library and wasn’t interested in building another one, so Netflix became the answer for me

Review: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls

By ⋅ March 3, 2010 ⋅ One comment

In Regency era England, a plague spread across the land. The infected dead walked the Earth, attempting to consume the living and infect them. The only one prepared for their arrival in the English countryside was Oscar Bennet, who must train his five daughters to battle the undead army as their mother attempts to marry them to proper English gentlemen. And so opens Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls.

The Tech of Avatar

As previously chronicled, I picked up a Blackberry Tour as my new cell phone of choice. Unfortunately, that decision was ultimately that decision was faulty and I have fallen back to my Samsung i760.

Review: Verizon Blackberry Tour

By ⋅ September 25, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

With my recent contract expiration, Verizon entitled me to a discount on a new phone. Since Windows Mobile 6.1 was continually locking up my Samsung i760, I decided it was time to finally move off the Windows Mobile platform. Had Verizon introduced an iPhone, that would have been my phone of choice, but I decided to take the Blackberry plunge to their “latest and greatest,” the Tour.
