One of my favorite blogging sites, Vox.com, has officially launched and is now available to the general public. I highly recommend Vox for those who simply want to blog to a certain group of people (say family and friends), or start a multimedia blog regarding photos, videos, audio and books. It’s a great [...]

XBox Live Digimask

Date October 19, 2006

I’m impressed. It took me a little while to get the lighting right (what can I say, I’m a vampire), but when I did, the digimask came out pretty good. In World Series Of Poker for the XBox 360, it allows you to take a digital photo of your front and side profiles [...]

Google Reader FTW

Date October 11, 2006

After a couple weeks of using Google Reader, I have dubbed it my new RSS Reader. From the keyword based navigation, to the shared RSS item feature, Google Reader is a winner. The keyboard shortcuts are phenomenal! There are also some nice “little” touches that I really like. For instance, if you [...]

Regarding “Zune Won’t Kill the iPod“:
