I don’t even know how this got to me since that isn’t even my email address. Wish I could see the video it is advertising though.

Hey and I am blogging from my iPhone now. Only took 5 months!

Posted on: April 13th, 2009 Hey I Did A Guest Spot On A Podcast

So my friends over at The Robot Sweatshop asked me to head over to the outskirts of Brooklyn for a recording of their occasionally weekly but always entertaining podcast. You can go and listen to it RIGHT NOW or put it on your portable music devices to listen to it at your leisure.

We talk video games, my large collection of Post-NES consoles, music from bands I have never heard of, some comics and stuff and even my newest addiction known as Scrabble (both in digital and analog forms).

It was a fun trip all around and a good time recording. I was informed that I have a pass to come by whenever I want for future episodes and will take advantage of that offer until I am no longer welcome. Go do America a service and download this podcast. Hell, subscribe while you are at it.

Posted on: March 4th, 2009 Noby Noby Boy: Cross Blog Promotin’

One of my new favorite obsessions is Keita Takahashi’s Noby Noby Boy for the Playstation 3 on PSN. It takes all the fond memories I had of playing Katamari Damacy for the first time and then adds in a bunch of strangeness, zanyness, kookieness, etc etc to make it some of the best five dollars I ever spent on the Playstation Network (next to Mortal Kombat 2 that I bought when I first got a PS3). Plus the game has a direct to YouTube export option so I can fill YouTube’s hard drives with shit like this:

Now I haven’t really written a review since the glory days of Utterer.com. For me my big problem is that I hate using pre-provided screenshots and clips and there is that whole having to write words part two. My friends Mike and Dan (along with some others) do a gaming, comic book, movie, music blog/podcast called Robot Sweatshop. They asked me to write some stuff for the site and possibly help out with the podcast at some point and I gleefully accepted (without telling them what a horrible procrastinator I am). Anyway. The first fruits of ym labor are coming to fruition with this review that I wrote for Noby Noby Boy. It doesn’t seem to have the Utterer.com charm of my previous reviews, but give me a chance. I am still warming up.

READ THE DAMN THING HERE.

It does make me realize how much more I like WordPress’s interface than Blogger.

Posted on: January 22nd, 2009 My 6 Months Late iPhone Opinion Piece

Roughly two weeks ago I had to say goodbye to an old friend. Well I didn’t HAVE to say goodbye, but all the circumstances were just right. I was due for a hardware upgrade with AT&T and had an extra 200 bucks in my pocket at the time. So with a quick trip to the good ol’ fashioned brick and mortar phone store, a signature of a contract renewal and a quick exchange of money, I walked out with an 8 gig iPhone.

Initially I tried to justify the purchase with a line like “ok I will try it for 30 days and if I don’t like it, I will return it and go back to my happy life with my Treo 680.” After all, the Treo was my first foray into smart phones when I bought that ill fated 600 on eBay a number of years ago. Then there was my first new smartphone purchase when I got a Treo 680 from AT&T about a year and a half ago. At the time I felt that there could be nothing that would make me want any other phone (and this was at the time where the iPhone 1G just came out). But the allure was just too strong. Application development, 3G access, a reasonable data plan, Apple engineering, and more. My decision was made.

So I joined up with millions of other people in the world and got an iPhone roughly two weeks ago. I miss my Treo, but understand that this move was needed in the name of progress.

Just wrote this post on the iPhone Wordpress app. Expect a more full featured story soon.
