Why I’m Sticking with iPad 1.0

March 7th, 2011 · 5 Comments · opinion, video

I couldn’t be happier about Apple’s iPad 2 announcement.  I was worried they were going to show so many killer features I’d have to spend at least $500 upgrading.  Whew.  Thankfully for me and my bank account, I consider this new product more like iPad 1.1 than iPad 2.

January 6th, 2011 · No Comments · humor

EvilWylie put together this list of the 10 funniest literary videos posted to Youtube in 2010. Several of the movies are still hilarious even on the 4th or 5th time through.
