Google Apps Launches. What Now?

The first step towards the Google PC are there which i commented on here and here with yesterday’s announcement of the Google Apps.  The next step is for them to announce the low cost PC - which may not happen for a while.
Second, there’s a very interesting post from Chris Anderson about what this could [...]

Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Hollywood’s Gender Role Reversal

I recently checked out last year’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith which is pretty sweet film with the uber-hot Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (who i actually like). What dawned on me while watching this movie is how they’ve written the roles to be completely opposite of their gender stereotype.

Snakes On A Plane (Continued)

Two more things i’ve seen in the past two days.
First, i don’t know why this wasn’t more widely reported, but apparently in Arizona some people actually released a bunch of rattlesnakes into a theater that was showing Snakes on a Plane. How frickin’ scary would that be to be watching a ridiculous movie about [...]

To celebrate a post i made on the blog FirstDateDC which was highlighted on Wonkette, i wanted to focus briefly in the other direction: male’s facial hair. Seeing that the 80’s are coming back (i’ll explain more in an upcoming post), does that mean that beards and mustaches are coming with them? I secretly [...]

Get Your Ari Gold Fix

This post is really only so i can repost the video below, which is gold baby, Gold!
Along with the rest of the world, i get pure satisfaction from watching HBO’s Entourage. It like a TV-show pixie stick - pure sugar. Some call it the Sex In The City for men, as it’s 4 guys [...]
