I have an iPad. I think it’s a great device, but the Apple case that Apple sold with the first iPad was ok at best. I stopped using it because it was so damn hard to keep clean. So when the iPad 2 was announced I was pleased that they came up with a new [...]

Is it me or is this the new hotness! I don’t know what it is about me, but I have always straddled this line between having the latest and greatest gadget and longing for a time when men wore hats and everyday objects were made with handmade care. It’s an internal conflict that I live [...]

Can you believe it? NO mention in the entire AP article of his stellar performance as Kahn in the Star Trek “Wrath of Kahn” movie. Geez these AP folks are out of touch. Not to mention the fact that in that movie he sported one of the greatest mullets of all time. Rest in peace [...]
