Makeovers
shallow people While reading the Photoshelter blog, I came across this post about the latest craze for bride’s maids: Botox injections, checmical peels, and breast enhancements. The post linked to an article at the New York Time’s web site called It’s Botox for You, Dear Bridesmaids. At first I thought it was a joke but [...]
The PlayStation Store Needs Help!
ps3,psp,ps store How is it that a company that spends millions developing consumer devices has such a lousy user interface for their online store? I’m speaking of Sony and their PlayStation Store.

Epocrates Rx
medicine,software,iphone 2.0 I know doctors have been using Epocrates’ software on handhelds for years.

iTunes 7.7 and the Apps Store
iphone 2.0 Not that I’m the first to notice it but the new iTunes is out (v7.7) and the Apps Store is up and running. This is worse than Christmas Eve!
The Storm is Coming
