| 0 comments |

Method Man owns every console ever made. He's a geek taking it to the limit. However, there's only one way to take it past Method Man's limit, and that's if you have an unrivaled sense of style. Alxby, for example, has this and is now dominating and godly.

Wahoo! It's like a TV stand with robot legs. Awesome-o! Funny thing is, the stand will put you back $1100, which costs more than most LCD TV's out there today. Oh, how grand is that!

Heroes, Season 1 Review

| 0 comments |

What can I say. It's X-men, but it's not. It's not a super great show, but it strives to be one. It's not as epic as it attempts to sound, but it's still well thought out and cinematically pleasing. I already have Season 2 queued up for download, so that's gotta mean something. 7.8/10.

Friend Review

| 1 comments |

Set in 1976 and 1981, Korea, Chingoo tells an epic tale between friends diverging in in life. Chingoo means "friend," and that's what the story is primarily about - the strong bonds between males from birth until death. It illustrates how pure and innocent youthful friendships can be undone by the broader, but ultimately less important, adult world concerns of lust, greed and power. It's to no surprise why this movie gained so much recognition from film festivals worldwide - it gracefully combines the themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and hoodlum life without a single hitch in performance, story play, or imagery. This movie sits comfortably near The Godfather, being the most genuine Korean works I've seen to date. 9.4/10.

| 0 comments |

Colorware is a wonderful company that has the painting expertise of Van Gogh when it comes to customizing that iPod Touch, gaming machine, or lappy top to your liking. Their paint jobs usually run around $99, but for the amazing jobs they pull off it's more than worth it. Check out their site here.

Like many, I don't think Tila Tequila is very special. She has a big head and big double D's. I can name a few of my friends who qualify under the same specifications, but I won't. Anyway, her latest single due to air MTV tomorrow afternoon seems to be the only song I like since she started vocalizing. So yeah, send her some congratulation pogs.

The Host Review

| 0 comments |

One of the biggest blockbusters in Korea in 2006 takes place in primarily around a parking lot near a bridge that overlooks a river. I feel, honestly, the less you know about the movie, the better it will turn out when you watch it. I had a blast watching it through and through, even screaming - "Oh shit!" a couple satisfying times here and there. The script was good. The performance was good. The visuals and American dialogue were a little less than average, but who cares! The movie was a nice breath of fresh air, though not perfect, surely emphasizes the common outlines of what we call family and adds a big, mean monster to bring us all together. 8.6/10.

New Toy of Blackness And Deceit

| 0 comments |

Hurrah! Today was a good day at the computer shop. A customer offered to sell their 8GB bundled iPod Nano for $50 and of course I immediately jumped on the deal! Now I'm all giddy with my new toy, even though it's last generation and will not fly well with those hip Japanese, and I plan to abuse it all day tomorrow on my brand spankin' new earbuds. See more of her goodness on my photoblog.

Comcast Throttling Seen In Davis

| 0 comments |

Why oh why have my download speeds gone to 21 kb/sec? Via Digg, I've found this term coined to be "throttling" and it's pretty irritating once you've become a victim of Comcast sneaky violations of net neutrality. Basically, Comcast turns on and off your router using their modem you rent from them, then tests to see how the bandwidth meter on their side fluxuates. If their bandwidth skyrockets, then you're downloading too much and they will cap your download and upload speeds. This is usually done via port tracking and they will cycle your internet once that port gets used again. Think of it sort of like corporate Big Brother for your internet.

Good news: There's always ways around things. Here's some instructions on how to un-throttle your BitTorrent.
