Old Spice steps up the game

When was the last time you’ve seen a commercial? Probably about a week if you watch tv. Most times you either jump to a different channel or if you TIVO, you just skip them. Of course, there isn’t anything WRONG with that, at least from our point of view. Our TV Shows (however strange and [...]

Blagging about the iPad

At the request of a friend I decided to put up my pre-hands-on review of the iPad. I thought about getting it, but then I figured a magnifying glass and an iPod would be cheaper. But then I realized, I’m not a fan of iPods, so I did the next best thing. Look for reasons [...]

ChromeOS – Revolution or Bust!

Everyone seems to be going a little over board with the newly announced Chrome OS. Don’t get me wrong, I love all new shiny things – I’m a shiny-new-thing-lover, but people are not only blowing this out of proportion, they’re not even talking about the right things. Let’s break it down shall we?
What IS Chrome [...]

Google Wave

If you’ve been keeping up with latest Google news, you’ll know that Google Wave is the latest and greatest thing. Or so they claim. After spending a few days playing around with Wave I’ve come to a rather disappointing conclusion. Unless you’re a developer, Wave will be useless.
First off, let me highlight what Google Wave [...]

I’ve been Binged.

I’ve always been a little apprehensive of new Microsoft products, but this year they’ve continued to surprise me. First there was the beta version of Windows 7, which rendered my usual quip about not using anything beta and by Microsoft fairly useless (Why don’t you just wait till it comes out? It’ll be buggy enough [...]

Project Analysis

Programmers are engineers. Sure we may not get a fancy ring, but we’re still engineers. Ask any programmer who’s ever had to build an application from the ground up. The problems, the tools, even the location, while different are all still present. We’re engineers alright, but instead of working in the physical world, we’re the [...]

Opti-Cal/Mag Vegi Caps: Where has all the simplicity gone?

I was just sitting down to eat lunch when a bottle on the table caught my eye. It looked like one of those bottles for vitamin supplements, so I didn’t think too much of it. Until I turned it around and took a look at the name of the pills.
Opti-Cal/Mag Vegi Caps.
What. The. Heck?
I glanced [...]

Bluetooth Headset

That’s right, I have a blue tooth headset. It’s actually a pretty expensive one too. The Jawbone. I bought it back when the black Jawbone (Version 1, so I’ve had it for a while) first came out. Paid a bit for it to. So when you tell me that it makes me look like a [...]

Working for the man every night and day

And so another term comes to an end. It’s been a great four months for me and even though I’m not actually in school I think it’s safe to say that I have learned quite a bit. Probably more than I learned in high-school. I figure it’s a good time to list all the things [...]

Where did you come from, where did you go?

Where did you come from An-gel-o.
I was born in Dubai, and while I never lived there very long, I think I can trace most of who I am today back to those first 8 years of my life. 
I was born in on January 27th, 1988 in a hospital in Dubai. I was the first one [...]
