APPraisal: Weber’s On The Grill
When I first got my iPod Touch, I was dumping apps onto it like crazy. Free apps, apps that made top 10 lists, just about anything. Many of those have been long since deleted. Weber’s On The Grill, however, has made the cut, and definitely falls into the category of “there’s an app for that.”

Finally, A Warcraft Audiobook
There have been talks of Warcraft audiobooks for more than a year. As I posted in November 2008, Tantor Media recorded 3 books narrated by Dick Hill, but then they were mysteriously delayed and dropped off the radar. Now Simon & Schuster is reporting that the new novel by Richard A. Knaak, World of Warcraft:…

Papercraft Friday #74: Bioshock Big Daddy
Are you ready to be a Big Daddy? 2K Games is releasing Bioshock 2 next week, the long anticipated follow-up to the 2007 hit Bioshock. I was a big fan of the original Bioshock, and made it my #2 game of 2007. This time, you ARE a Big Daddy! Get into the mindset of a…

LEGO Night: 21003 Seattle Space Needle
We picked up the 21003 Seattle Space Needle LEGO set when we were in Seattle, Washington last year, at the Space Needle gift store, and finally got around to building it. It’s part of the Landmark series of LEGO Architecture sets. It’s not a terribly complicated LEGO set, being only 57 pieces. Though it says…

APPraisal: Google Voice
ZarkSeven has this cool segment on his blog called “APPraisal”. It’s his weekly…or mostly weekly…review of various iPhone/iPod touch applications. Since Zark doesn’t use Google Voice and I’m addicted to it, he asked me if I would take a look at the new Google Voice mobile site and give a review for his APPraisal segment. …

Panera Bread iMac World of Warcraft Player
People are weird. I couldn’t help but look at the article on Gizmodo.com entitled Five Questions With Panera Bread iMac Man. I’d seen the story floating around for about a month. The Panera Bread reference in the title caught my eye, as it’s a local success story as a restaurant chain called St. Louis Bread…

Papercraft Friday #73: Avatar AT-99 Scorpion Gunship
I finally saw Avatar last weekend with my brother, and one of the things I kept thinking during the movie was how cool the “helicopters” were. I loved watching the rotors move and rotate. Blogger tekzo at paperhobby created a nice reproduction of the VTOL craft, and made it available for download on his site. …

Lord of Ultima in not MY Ultima
EA has no idea what to do with their intellectual properties. Electronic Arts purchased and subsequently decimated developer Origin Systems Inc, wasting the opportunities it had with all of the IP’s that Origin developed throughout the 80s and early 90s. Then in 2008, EA gives us the awful top-down, 2D space combat game that they…

Bookmarked: RainyMood.com
I frequently run across websites that I’d like to share. Some of them I’ve already got in my Blogrolls to the right, and others I just bookmark and revisit. I thought I’d add an infrequent addition to my regular posts called Bookmarked where I’d share a site I recently bookmarked that was interesting, entertaining or…

LEGO Night: 20009 Star Wars AT-TE Walker
Our build this week is the LEGO BrickMaster set 20009 AT-TE Walker from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It’s a 94 piece set that pretty much fits in the palm of your hand (well, if you have a large hand). Consequently it has a lot of small pieces. But for such a small model, it…
