Blockbuster Offers New Abysmal Promotional Deal To Netflix Customers
In the wake of Netflix’s major price increase announced last week, Blockbuster has announced a special promotion for Netflix customers. I had expected Blockbuster to make a pitch for their program; it would be a bit bizarre if they didn’t. What I didn’t expect is for their deal to be so much worse than the […]
Segues: Stop Scaring Yourself
Each Segues column starts with something tech-related before quickly branching out from there into a tangentially related thread. These articles are born from my thought and speech patterns that regularly contain quickfire transitions. For one of my birthdays, a friend made me a crown that said “King of the Segues”. Actually, it said “King of […]
Digital Lighting — Sexy To The Max
Digital Lighting technology isn’t a new thing. It’s been used in large scale concert tours and shows for a few years now, but unless you’ve worked in the entertainment lighting industry you probably aren’t familiar with it.

Captain America: Shield Of Justice 16-bit Style
I am a huuuuuuge Captain America fan. Captain America was the first comic book I started reading on a regular basis, back when Mark Gruenwald had him in the black suit in the 80s. So, with the Captain America: The First Avenger movie coming out, and all the connected promotions, I am filled both with joy […]

Click here to read Part I. Can a tablet be used to replace a netbook? As a regular netbook user (specifically an Acer Aspire One), my proposed experiment was to try and spend a week using a Viewsonic G-Tablet (chosen because it’s roughly the same price as the Acer) running Android instead . Now that […]
Opening The “Bag Of Hurt” With Blu-ray Discs And Mac OS X
Despite Apple Macs still not including Blu-ray disc capable drives and Steve Jobs’s famous statement from late 2008, claiming the technology amounted to a “bag of hurt”, OS X users are finding a growing number of options for using the media with their systems. For quite a while now, Blu-ray capable players and recorders have […]
MIT Makes Real-Time Hologram, Use Wrong Star Wars Reference
[yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LW8wgmfpTE’] As reported at NewScientist, smart-type people at MIT have made a huge leap in the possibility of real-time holograms. The MIT folks use, among other things, a hacked Kinect, proving once again that the Xbox 360’s controllerless controller is wasted on dance games. This is rather amazing technology. It’s extremely early, but it’s […]
