What Is It About That Apple “White”
I don’t know what it is about the Apple “white” color. There’s something striking about it. I love how my white Apple TV looks in my home theater rack. I love how my Airport Extreme sticks out on my computer desk. I’ve been looking for a new USB 2.0 hub and came across this simple [...]
The Beatles Rock Band
It’s not even a real question. There’s no hesitation. No second look needed. I will be purchasing this when it comes out. I’m a huge Beatles Fan and love video games. This such a natural fit.

In short Jeff Caswell had this fantastic idea to gather 100 brilliant minds to author a book together. Each contributor was asked to write a chapter (visuals were optional) about social [...]
Why Isn’t The Car Buying Experience Better?
I recently got into the market for a new car. It was time to trade in my wife’s 2002 Jaguar X-Type. But, for what? Getting from the requirements to completing the purchase was a harrowing experience. The short story is we ended up with an Infiniti G37X. You can skip [...]

Long Version
When a bunch of guys get together for some drinks, without failure the conversation will turn into a category requiring one-up-menship. It could be anything from the worst date, worst job, or worst injury. Ladies I’m [...]
