Little Superstar
By Nick | August 2, 2008
I don’t know about anyone else, but I find this pretty hilarious. The whole ‘creepy, child-like midget’ concept is one thing, but the ‘creepy, child-like midget busting a move’ is a whole other scenario. Of course, there are some who would find this more creepy and disturbing, but personally, I find it entertaining as hell.
This is a clip from a ’90’s movie out of Kollywood (not to be confused with Bollywood), one of the movie centers of India. I think that the midget is actually the oldest person out of everyone in this clip! Creepy.

BlackBerry Essentials
By sliptide | July 23, 2008
I will preface this with: I am not entirely sure how valid it is for BlackBerry users who have anything but the 8100 Pearl and the Curve versions, but here is a list of some of the neato things that are must-haves (or must check-outs) for BlackBerry’s today.
1) Specifically for the Pearl 8100 users: ColorPearl. This awesome little application takes full advantage of the 4 color LED’s sitting behind the Pearl’s.. well… pearl. You can have it light up to a random color when using the phone, or select a RGB value to try and make your own custom colors for use. Some of them look down right wicked (i.e. a near black light violet color, the obnoxious magenta/pink, and orange or a few of my favs).
2) OperaMINI: Yes yes! Faster, slick presentation, and better favorites management. OperaMINI is a must have, especially if you are using T-Mobile and their slow EDGE network; it will speed things up a bit when surfing the web on the go.
3) iBlackBerry theme: Like the icons and feel of the iPhone? Me too ;P Download the theme in any of the standard presentation formats (icon, zen) and enjoy the refreshing new look of your iPearl or iCurve 
The icons are extremely well crafted. There are some additional touches, such as the fade-in of text on the main screen (when using zen theme) and some heads-up icon relocation. If you haven’t upgraded your firmware because you didn’t like the new layouts, this will change your mind since it looks a whole ton better!
4) Google Maps Mobile: Duh. It’s Google Maps on your phone! ’nuff said ;P
5) Google Talk for BlackBerry: At one time it was an exclusive to BlackBerry. This is a real Google Talk client. Fairly quick and lightweight, and always on. I really love the integration with the phone so I am always signed in for friends to chat me up in an instant.
6) Soft Reset is a utility that let’s you completely reset the BlackBerry, w/out having to remove the damn battery!
7) Facebook for Blackberry. ‘Nuff said.

Waste Management Issues… in Orbit?
By Nick | July 20, 2008
I found this somewhat shocking when I first stumbled across it, but apparently the Earth has a field of debris in orbit. Dead and fragmented satellites, mainly. The Discovery News Space Blog has more, after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Max Payne Movie Trailer
By Nick | July 10, 2008
I’m a nerd, I totally love it when comics and games get made into movies. Of course it’s a downer when the movie sucks (I’m lookin’ at you, Uwe Boll), but still, the fact that somebody puts enough credit into a property to make it into a movie makes me feel all good inside. Well, I get that warm feeling from watching the trailer for Max Payne starring Mark Wahlberg. I’ll admit, I kinda like Marky Mark, and most of his work I find pretty enjoyable. I have yet to really see him in a role that I didn’t like (though I haven’t actually watched a whole lot of his movies). I think that the trailer is pretty bitchin’, so hopefully we’ve got a decent flick on our hands here.
