Nintendo  Wii Beer Pong

Nintendo is introducing a variety of “Frat Games” designed for their Wii console.  The first is Beer Pong.  Think of playing beer pong in the comfort of your home with no sticky beer floor afterwards and without picking random bits of dirt and crap out of your teeth b/c the ping pong ball you’ve been pulling out of your beer has been rolling on the ground all night!  Genius!

It’s not out just yet, but screw the Wii Fitness junk, video games were meant for encouraging vices not health! Begin the binge drinking!

Updates to Google’s Reader for Iphone in Beta

Only tested it quickly, but first glance obvious improvements to Google’s Reader (which I use many times each day) is that you don’t leave the list view of your feeds to read the expanded detail of each new post. Before you’d have to wait for the detail to load, hit back to return to your list etc, doesn’t seem that bad but on EDGE it could take a little bit…especially when doing my reading in my “library” aka bathroom, which doesn’t get the best reception.

Try it out www.google.com/reader/i/ and share your thoughts.

Pretty insanely full as I’m writing this post, but had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family. It was our first Thanksgiving in the city and had some friends who stayed at the Dream Hotel off Broadway where the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade passes by. They had a room on the 6th floor and was a cool vantage point to watch the floats go by.

Shrek is Loose!

So you got the iPhone and want to make it stand out from the rest of the pack.  There are cool covers out there to make it slightly more unique, but what’s cooler than a custom paint job?!  Check out Colorware’s service.  They’ll paint your iphone in any combo of colors (including a matching dock)  Pretty cool and if you already justified the $400 price tag on the phone to yourself…..you can easily convince yourself of a $150 paint job for your phone.

I know many have likely seen this already but had to post it again b/c it is still damn impressive.  Give it 30sec on to get through the “intro” if you haven’t seen it.

Everyone always say “man, some people have too much time on their hands”  But I say, shit, even if I had the time I don’t think I have the coordination to pull this off!

Enjoy.

had a thought; when you are peeing and you spit into the toilet or urinal, is it habit or instinct to shoot or aim at and destroy that spit with your stream? thoughts?

Looking around for a knife rack and came across this. Very cool and even though we have exactly 5 sq ft of countertop space…..I still want it. Wish it could hold any knife, instead you have to purchase it with the supplied knives.

Spent a wonderful weekend up in the boonies of Pennsylvania over the Labor Day weekend with some friends. While there a couple of buddies turned me onto this band, Vampire Weekend. They are a group of guys from Columbia Univ. here in the great city of New York and while doubling as students, throw down some great tracks and from what I hear put on a great live show.

I got tickets to their upcoming show at the Music Hall in Williamsburg, Brooklyn this coming Saturday, Sept. 8th

I’m pumped to listen to them and even better they have the Harlem Shakes opening for them!

So if you are nearby or they come to a town near you check em’ out.

Well my wife and I just celebrated our first glorious year of marriage on August 19th.  It was a great year filled with lots of memories and changes.

One observation though I’d like to point out with my new found wisdom from having 1 year of marriage under my belt is how clueless being married has made me.  Not clueless about everything, just hopelessly clueless about my personal schedule.  I honestly have no idea what events are coming up anymore. Are we going out of town? Do we have people visiting? What’s todays date?

I used to have a pretty reliable mental calendar, knowing that “ok in 2 weeks I’m going out of town” or “next Thurs so and so is coming to visit”  Now I couldn’t tell you what I’m doing tomorrow let alone next weekend!  So as a result I’m constantly “double booking” and making my wife mad.  Often getting the “don’t you remember we decided to do xyz next week, so we can’t do abc?!  I just talked to you about this!”

I guess my question to the married men of the world is if this is normal? Do you find yourself having had the same lobotomy that I had where the scheduling part of your brain has been lopped out and chucked in the trash? Now to clarify, this is only the part of the brain that deals with your social calendar of events, the work or business calendar part of the brain remains in tact.
