Early (Before) Holiday Deals on Electronics
As the economy progresses on its downward spiral (hopefully to soon recover), and with the holidays quickly approaching, there are some great deals already available. Stores don't want to hold onto an excess of products, so the goal this year is get it gone. For some of them you have to be a haggling/negotiating type of person, others you can walk in and find great deals, and some you simply visit your favorite website and find the perfect price for what you want...
Continue reading...Mach Dice is the iPhone RPG die rolling app you’ve been waiting for
25. August 2008
Finally! The die app you role players (or lovers of multi-facted dice) have been waiting for has arrived, from MachWerx. It's Mach Dice and it's beautiful. The premise is simple. You choose the dice, you make the roll. You can select any type of die you want, up to 100 of them - multiple dice of different sides are available as well.

18. August 2008
It wasn't too long ago that I noticed a nerdcore rapper tackling the subject of text based adventure games. Now it seems that the popular software (popular amongst us text based adventure game enthusiasts that is) Frotz has been ported to an Apple App!

13. August 2008
I've spent a little time with Blaze Media Pro over the past week exploring what this media editing suite can do. It's a pretty comprehensive suite of tools for Windows users, covering everything from ripping and burning both audio and video to editing tools that allow you to splice, cut and paste.

13. August 2008
This is almost the dice app I've been searching for! It looks amazingly pretty, the dice actually roll on screen with a flip of your phone or pod, the sounds are good, and it even rolls higher than a 5 on six sided dice! You can skin your dice in various ways to play good old 6 sided games, poker or what have you.

11. August 2008
Diceshaker is another handy app to have if you're into rolling multiples of d8's on your iPhone or iPod Touch. It's a bit more flexible than the previous apps I've looked at in that you have more dice / multiples to choose from.

8. August 2008
In my continued quest to find interesting and useful apps from Apple’s App store I came across Ambiance. It’s a fun coincidence that the two apps I downloaded first ended up #1 (Koi Pond) and #2 at the apps store for paid apps. Both are $0.99 apps and both aren’t games. I find this trend very [...]
Continue reading...Koi Pond for the iPhone/iPod Touch
7. August 2008
Koi Pond is really very lovely to look at. The water is done wonderfully, reacts well to touch and has nice splooshy sound effects. The fish act naturally and will dart around your screen if disturbed, as advertised. As you can see from the screen shots, it's quite beautiful to look at.

18. July 2008
I don't know if anyone has ever signed up for Vonage- If not... don't. It took me three solid months to break up with them. Have you ever been in the relationship that won't end? You don't like them... but you don't exactly hate them either. You begin wanting to break things off. You have another device, a cell phone that you prefer... you rarely use the land line, and you really don't want the land line. It's old, spent, a has been. It has really done anything horrible to you- but it's obsolete.

10. May 2008
Recently Auslogics released a new version of its optimization suite BoostSpeed. I had the previous version installed on my computer and have been using it for some time, so I decided to upgrade. Here’s what caught my eye when I first used it: 1. I was really pleased to find the latest version of their DiskDefrag included [...]

1. November 2007
The first two observations I made when I opened my Neuros OSD were that the unit was a lot smaller than I was expecting (about five and a half inches by five and a half inches in size) and that it looked nice. This was no flat looking boxy apparatus, nor was it a [...]

31. October 2007
There already was an article about encryption of your files on Arsgeek. That one was geared towards Linux, but Windows chaps can, too, encrypt their files for added security. Click the icon, share the link:

24. September 2007
This is a new segment I would like to introduce to you all. I will try to comment on something open source related as often as possible, without boring your minds. I will mainly present the programs I use personally, but it could also be about the latest development in the open source community. Everyone likes [...]

16. September 2007
It’s not Flip Wilson, Flipper, or me doing flips, it’s a new little gadget that hit shelves on September 12th. I received this ghic chic pocket sized (that fits perfectly in the Scottevest hoodie ) video camera on Thursday. I must say that I’m very impressed with the make, convenience and ease of use for [...]
