Consider it Dunn

Many will not understand my excitement but I am very pumped to see that a bundle of a wicked flight stick and throttle for Ace Combat 6: Fires of LIberation is now available.

It costs too much to put on my Christmas list but you bet I am going to get it I mean come on, I am a devout hedonist and the closer I can get to simulating air combat… the more pleasure the gaming provides.

Yee haw! Just call me Maverick Hmm I guess I will have to get in costume and dress Sara up like Kelly McGillis. ROFL I don’t think that part would go over well haha.

In Santa Clara last week I lost my phone (I think in a Taxi) so I decided to upgrade; those that know me will not be surprised

My upgrade is, well, an impressive little beast. In fact it isn’t even widely available yet in Canada and when it will be it will cost at least 2x more than what I paid for mine thanks to some power searching on eBay.

Here is a wicked review of this phenomenal smart phone - the TyTN 2 (pronounced “Titan 2″). I can’t wait to get it!!

Reviews from Authorities

OVERALL IMPRESSION (From PocketNow.com)
Two words: Very Impressed. I don’t even care that I don’t have HSDPA or even UMTS support where I live. The TyTN II does it all. For me, the improved Bluetooth and consequently improved Voice Command via Bluetooth recognition capabilities are well worth it alone. Add on top of that a much improved GPS Navigation implementation (compared to the P3300), a slide out keyboard/flip-up screen, TouchFLO scrolling, 3MP autofocus camera, and a ton of memory… and there’s no turning back. The TyTN II truly is the ultimate mobile companion… at least for now.

Someday I hope to be one of those lucky space tourists because frankly space is one of the most amazing and incredible mysteries to me and I would absolutely LOVE to see earth from space. So, here’s hoping the price for a trip is within my grasp before I am too old to go

This will undoubtedly stretch the limits of your imagination if you take even a few seconds to contemplate the impact this technology will have on the world as we know it:

This is rather old news from the perspective of the Internet but Brayden (StepForth’s new sales associate) sent me a link to this flick and it reminded me that I really needed to share it.

Here is Microsoft’s official site on Photosynth… pretty cool for them to have this technology. Between this and the table screen technology… their future is looking bright.

Feast your eyes on the ARTiGO Pico-ITX DIY Builder Kit… sounds stupidly complex but it really isn’t. Check out how easy it is to create your own computer with this awesome $199  system:
