Games that don’t suck: Army of Darkness Defense
GAMES THAT DON’T SUCK is a feature dedicated to games that I think are well worth your hard earned money, but not worth me sitting down and spending 3 hours crafting an in-depth review (these things are usually 99ยข after all). However, you can rest assured that any game bearing Macenstein’s GTDS rating is worth buying, sight unseen, based solely on my expert opinion. ... Read More
Celebrity Mac Chick Sighting: Jillian Barberie
What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than to post a picture of one of the hottest celebrity MILF’s out there, Jillian Barberie (Reynolds), and her iPhone. These backstage “before and after” makeup shots of Jillian getting ready for her hosting gig on Good Day L.A. really help point out just how amazing Jillian’s physique is, and for my money,...

The Awesome iPad Art of Chris Seddon
Tina Fey or Sarah Palin? Either way, it's dead-on. Illustrator Chris Seddon has some pretty impressive work, but I’m always a little extra impressed when someone can crank out that work on an iPad. I spent about 2 days toying with the various big name drawing apps on the iPad before giving up and sticking with paper, but some artists like Seddon apparently stuck with... Read More
Who wants to play a little “Friday Lock Screen trivia? – Win an iTunes gift card
OK, we have our WINNER! Congrats to Donut, who correctly described this scene from the “Nurse Stimpy” episode of Ren and Stimpy. Honorable mention goes to Richard Grewenig who got everything right except for who was sponging who, and also to Aldo Johnson who identified the other episode, Stimpy’s Fan Club. OK, first one who can correctly tell me who these... Read More
How Mac OS X’s Alex Helped Roger Ebert “speak” again
When legendary film critic Roger Ebert lost his lower jaw to cancer, his career, and perhaps cultural relevance both appeared to be in jeopardy. Yet thanks to recent technologies such as blogging and Twitter, he has been able to successfully make the transition from being one of the most prolific and opinionated “speakers” to one of the most prolific and opinionated...

Blast from the past: Vintage Apple Playing Cards
If you’re into gambling, and therefore have no respect for money, you could do worse than pick up a pack of these $90 Vintage Apple iCon Playing cards. Despite not playing poker since high school when my loser friends and I used playing poker as an excuse for why we were not out looking for girls on a Friday night, I would still LOVE a pack of these bad boys. Right now there... Read More
FCP X: It takes a big man to admit when he’s wrong, and I’m HUGE
Last night when I saw a few blurry screenshots from the Final Cut Pro X demo and read the reported new features, I was less than enthusiastic. Any of you who follow my Twitter know that the near constant mention of “borrowing from iMovie” sent shivers down my spine, as I feel iMovie is perhaps the worst piece of software Apple has ever shipped (at least starting a few...
