Supreme Power #1-12

I've been meaning to read Supreme Power for the last year and a half and somehow I just never go around to it. Lucky for me, I managed to pick up the three trade paperbacks of the main series when I was at Wizard World Chicago, so I decided to start reading the first …

Future comic book reads

I don't know what it is, but whenever I see Nick blogging, I always feel the need to blog. Nick, do you feel the same way? haha

Anyways, my real post:

I haven't read any comics in a few days (I finished my weeklies on Saturday) and it's because 1) I'm lazy, 2) My …

Astonishing X-Men #25 -- a reaction/sum-up

Chris Claremont and X-Treme X-Men part 3

Ah ladies and gents, I'm through issue #18 and that mean another update on my X-Treme X-Men reading.

As a reminder, I'm spoiling this series as I talk about my reaction, so watch out (even though the series is about 8 years old).

So far I'm having a lot of fun with …

Astonishing X-Men #25 - This week is gonna be awesome

Guess what guys? Guess effing what? Astonishing X-Men #25 is coming out this week (7/2/2008), and guess who's excited?

Chris Claremont and X-Treme X-Men part 2

It's been a while and strangely I didn't get through as many X-Treme X-Men comics as I wanted to since my last blog about this series, but nevertheless, I got to issue #12 and, again, I'm not really impressed. Effing Chris Claremont again turned the series from …

The Alkaline Trio, Wizard World Chicago, and Wall-E

This weekend was pretty much 100% bad ass: I attended an Alkaline Trio concert, had the privilege of going to Wizard World Chicago and meeting Brian Michael Bendis (the whole reason for going to the ordeal) along with doing some other awesome stuff throughout the whole …

Marvel 1985 #2 - Amazing, as expected **spoilers**

Just yesterday I blogged about how I thought Marvel 1985 #2 was going to be straight up amazing and boy was I right. Mark Millar is basically taking the 1980s view on comics and printing it frame by frame and word by word in these comics. I seriously love this kind of …

Today is all a buzz

All over the net I'm seeing 3 things:

1. Fix your speakers buzzing from your iPhone by making a shield out of a red bull can [link]
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • (turns out this is bullshit -- I believe it's a fake at least)
   
   
   
   


2. iTunes 7.7 to come with a remote control application for the iPhone and …

An AppleScript to turn the brightness of your laptop display on/off

Yesterday at work, Eric was asking me if I knew of a way to immediately make the screen of his MacBook go straight to off (0 brightness). The only way I could think of doing such a thing was just holding down the button to dim the brightness or perhaps via AppleScript. …

Wisdom teeth removal and me

Today I had my wisdom teeth pulled... all four of them. Lucky for me, the top two came out without any real problems. Unlucky for me, the bottom two were impacted and hurt like someone forced a steel rod into my mouth blindly and hit the back of my mouth.

It kind of …

Radon-a super fast browser (quickie review)

Got word on a new browser from someone on twitter... I don't follow them, but Dallas does and I happened to glance at her computer as she was on Twitter and saw he/she mentioned it... so sorry for not giving credit...

Nevertheless,

I think I'm going to get an iPhone

Given yesterday's presentation of the new 3G iPhone and my need to be a flippin' Mac fanboy (yea, whatev.), I'm pretty sure I'm going to get an iPhone. Pretty sure... The price dropped to $300 for the 16GB model (the same amount of space as my iPod Touch) and it looks …

A cool AppleScript to resize your wallpaper

I'm a total wallpaper whore. Seriously. I have nearly 1GB of wallpapers (766MB) and I need them to work with my MacBook completely. In order to scale a mass amount of wallpapers at a time, I was trying all sorts of methods to do so... Photoshop, Automator, Skitch, and a …
