I make no bones about the fact that I dislike 99.9% of Microsoft products, but I'd be willing to give them a high-five now and then for a good advertising campaign. Two weeks or so ago, Microsoft announced they'd hold a Bing Jingle contest, the goal being to record a short music video theme song about their new search engine, called Bing.

Dream Camera: Nikon D3

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

iPhone: iSneer No More

Monday, July 30th, 2007
Iphone_2 In a matter of days, I have gone from being a person who sneers at people for using cell phones and other high priced gadgets in nice restaurants, to actually behaving like one of those people! It’s embarrassing to admit. I’ve never quite understood people who feel compelled to chat while walking through a crosswalk. Or the guy (or gal) who holds… Read More
