Everybody Hates Everybody
There is lots and lots of talk about this piece in the New York Times yesterday, and it came up as the topic of conversation between myself and my father.

Revisiting iHome’s iH15 Colortunes for the Holidays

IMDB on the iPhone
I’m a bit of a know-it-all – something my wife loves oh so much – and when I see someone on TV who I recognize from somewhere but can’t figure out where, I’ll bust out the iPhone, pull up imdb.com, and figure it out. Problem is though, surfing that site on the iPhone isn’t easy, […]

Let’s Play A Game: Movie and TV Show Mac Spotting

When Sandra Bullock enters her office building, you can already spot a couple of iMacs in the background. When she enters her room, there’s […]
