Casual Games Go Upscale

 
Casual games are simple, one-player puzzles that can be played on desktop computers, gaming consoles, cell phones or hand-held computers.  It takes less than a minute to understand the rules, structure and plot.  The games often revolve around spelling, trivia, arithmetic or geometry.  It is odd that these games would undergo a transformation and use [...]

9 Out of 10 Emails are Spam

According to U.S. email security company Postini, the number of “spam” messages has tripled since June and now accounts for as many as nine out of 10 e-mails sent worldwide due to criminal gangs using hijacked computers.  To me this is an absurd amount of spam email.  I used to use AOL for my email [...]

Jared Jordan Video Game Style

The video game College Hoops 2k7 has included Marist in the game.  This is quite the norm, but this year Marist point guard, Jared Jordan, is ranked the 14th highest point guard in the game.  This is quite an accomplishment and it is great that Jordan is being recognized.  The video game version of Jared [...]

Football Coaches in Suits???

   
This past Sunday marked the first time that NFL Head Coaches were able to wear a suit on the sidelines.  Mike Nolan, head coach of the 49ers had requested to wear a suit, but the NFL declined because head coaches are required to wear attire manufactured by Reebok.  Nolan had requested again to sport [...]

Kramer’s Racist Tirade

 This footage was rather surprising because unusual to see a celebrity have a tirade like this, especially a racist tirade.  Michael Richards, known as “Kramer” from Seinfeld was seen calling an african american male the “n” word.  This started when the male was seen talking to his friends during the show and [...]

OJ’s Book and TV Special

OJ Simpson’s book and TV special “If I Did It” have both been canceled.  The TV special was going to air during Fox’s Sweeps Week, but Fox thought better of it.  I think that this was a good idea because it would only surround more controversy around OJ.  Some would view these publications as a [...]

Cruise Ship Hit with Virus

The Carnival Liberty docked after a virus sickened nearly 700 passengers on a trans-Atlantic cruise.  The outbreak is believed to be the highly contagious Norovirus,  a group of viruses that cause stomach flu symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting and stomach cramps.  I find this news a little surprising because I have been on many cruises and the last [...]

High School Without Cell Phones

Parents who oppose the cell phone ban in New York’s public schools are ranting in e-mails to the city’s government that the policy is unreasonable and irresponsible.  I had no idea that there was a ban by New York state against cell phones in New York.  I understand why this policy in intact, but I feel that [...]

TOMPAT

This is a poster that I foundfrom espn.com.  I found it amusing because it basically combined the 2 events that I enjoyed over the weekend, football and Borat.  It is funny because it takesTom Brady and uses a play on words with Borat since the Patriots just lost to the Colts.   Instead of cultural learnings [...]

YouTube on Your Cell Phone???

YouTube and Verizon are very close to a deal that will make it possible for Verizon users to be able to access YouTube video footage through V cast.  This will most likely give Verizon an advantage over any other cell phone provider.  Cell phones these days are getting crazier and crazier.  Now they have cameras, [...]
