Robert Downey Jr. Wields His First Gauntlet – The more I see of this Iron Man flick the more I’m digging on it. This shot of RD Jr. as Tony testing the repulsor in his glove is perfect. Me, I like the FF movies (mostly). The Batman and Spider Man flicks were aces. I can [...]

George Orwell laid out the following rules concerning how to better use the English language for expressing thought (ht to pickthebrain): 1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. 2. Never use a long word where a short one will do. 3. If it [...]

According to Dosboy’s Bits and Bytes a Soundwave MP3 Player is now available for pre-order at Kooltoyz.com. I predict that if this isn’t crap it may indeed surpass the iPhone in popularity.

So I know you’re all waiting with bated breath to hear how my birthday weekend was. Well it was a bit of a mixed bag, but good overall.

I met a buddy of mine to see this, this weekend. He is Mr. Comics guy, a regular geek like you and I, but he had never seen the cartoon, read the comics, or played with the toys. I think it’s an age thing. He was probably just out of the right age range when [...]

Aaron’s Blogtalk Radio shows (now collectively known merely as The Ride) are experiencing a bit of a changeup.

The Political Ride moves to [...]
