Posted on February 7, 2011 by

  My sister rented a Toyota Prius hybrid electric-gas car yesterday and really likes it.

“Real Virtuality”: the Museum of the Moving Image Pixellates Reality with Mixed Results

Posted on January 29, 2011 by

The Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, is one of those New York cultural treasures that I've been hearing about for years and years and just never got around to visiting. First off, it's in Queens, which is still somewhat opaque and mysterious to me.  Secondly, uh, it's been a busy 15 years. And…

“Tron Legacy”: Eye-popping Effects, Glorious Soundscape, and Olivia Wilde

Posted on December 19, 2010 by

I saw the much anticipated "Tron Legacy" last night with several friends, in 3D IMAX.  To get it out of the way, yes the plot is a lot of portentious, illogical, convoluted hoo-hah.  Don't let it distract you. "Tron Legacy" is about ridiculously cool light cycle fights, hyper-animated disc combat, and the most beautiful program…

Can’t think of something clever for your FaceBook status? There’s an app for that.

Posted on October 12, 2010 by

 Oh jebus, this makes me so sad: an app that writes your Facebook status update for you.  Have you ever wished that you had something pithy, "like"-worthy, and memorable to put as your Facebook status?  Don't have a razor-like wit, a way with words, or an interesting life?  Worry not, Feathermoor's new iPhone app "FaceBook…

Google Goggles on the iPhone: It’s the Future

Posted on October 7, 2010 by

So I just tried out the Google Goggles app on my iPhone, walking around the Gramercy Park neighborhood. It's pretty damn amazing. For those that don't know, Google Goggles enables you to take photos of objects, barcodes, and even some buildings and get information from Google about that item.  The last bit seemed a bit…
