Ever go old school with the games?

I downloaded an old school Hulk Hogan wrestling game from the Blackberry application world a few weeks ago and I think I’ve destroyed my battery because I’ve been playing it so much lately. It’s a few old school game that has sub par graphics and very little action but it reminds me of a game I used to play when I was very young and it’s really quite fun. It won;’t be long before people are getting into HD multi-player gaming on their mobile phones so I’m going to enjoy my old beta style games while they are still cool!

Now that’s it’s been out, have you seen it?

A lot of my friends have finally gotten around to seeing the new Star Trek movie and I’ve not herd one person say that they don’t like the movie. it was seriously non stop action from the opening until the ending the of the movie. If you haven’t seen the movie you should really go see it. The box office numbers haven’t been as strong as I thought they should be but don’t let this one go! It’s a great kick ass movie!

She liked it!

duematernity_2051_317799Well, my T-Shirts went over nicely this time! With the maternity clothes that I got her from that site she likes she at least pretended that she liked my comical shirt. She even said she would wear it on a Friday just to show she’s a good sport. I ended up buying her this dress because it looked like other clothes that she wears. We took a pool from the other people in the department and made it a group gift for her!

T-Mobile G2: pictures showing up!

swipingg2hdms7With the economy in a slump it’s good to see that the online community is still clamoring for the long awaited T-Mobile G2 (or whatever it will be called.) I routinely do searches online for more information about the device because I didn’t jump on the G1. However, when the pictures I’ve been seeing lately like on Talk Android I get more excited. I’ve yet to device if I’ll jump ship from Blackberry but I’m getting the itch to try one of these out in person!

IE loses 10% of market yearly!

If you are like me you’ve abandoned IE already, if you: you will be over the next few years. As I type this post I do it in Firefox just like I have for the last few years. It’s not a shocker to learn that IE has been losing customers at the rate of about 10% each year but what is interesting is that Microsoft doesn’t seem to be doing anything about it. There used to be a time when people like myself were the minority. A Mac user that doesn’t use IE. Well, we are no longer the major minority and in a few short years, we’ll be the majority!

Freedm of speech on the internet

It really takes all kinds of people to male the world go around but should all of those people have the right to speak their mind in public? That’s such a tough question really. Facebook has been under fire recently for their stand on hate groups posting messages of hate on their servers. Facebook has stated that people have the right to speak their mind and they would not close their accounts.

Yahoo on the other hand has a dedicated department that closes accounts that they deam unacceptable for their servers. They feel that the servers belong to their company and they have the right t police what goes on them. This is the exact opposite of what Facebook feels.

Would facebook go under if they policed their site more or would it attract more people because they would feel more secure using their service? Freedom of speech is not something that every country enjoys and I’d hate to see peoples right to free speech impeded but I applaud Yahoo for their stand!

Well I found it!

239979717v3_350x350_front_color-blackwhiteI found the second gag gift for my friend in my IT department. This T-Shirt had me laughing for a long time and is a bit less offensive then the first one. I think she’ll like it and as an added bonus, I picked out a couple of nice items for her! I think that will make her happy!

What happens when the server goes down?

238001293v1_350x350_front_color-whiteI have a friend at work that just announced their pregnancy. So, I thought I’d find a maternity shirt for her that related to geeks getting pregnant. I thought this shirt was great and ordered one right away. Sometimes I think things are funny when other people don’t. She didn’t think it was nearly as funny has I thought it was. She then politely e-mailed me a link to maternity clothing that’s more her style and suggested a nice gift would be in order to smooth over my tasteless gift!

I’m going to pick something out that’s nice but I think I might Google something else for a gag gift to throw in the gift box! Hey, I am a geek right?

It’s starting to look better!

We’re hiring again within our IT department! IT fields got hit pretty hard with the downturn in the economy. Pay cuts and job losses seemed to be on the rise. However, it seems like we might have seen the worst of it. Our department is on-boarding two people for entry level spots. At least things are looking brighter for us. I hope it spreads!
