Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
I’ve been a happy owner of Motorola Ming (A1200) for 2 years now. Running on Linux and supporting J2ME, you have a list of endless applications to put on your already powerful cellphone, and you can tweak till you freak too. That’s why I’ve never given any thought to iPhone. Ever. Now, with the release [...]
Fake Steve Jobs Slams New York Times over FarmVille/Zynga Coverage
Sunday, November 8th, 2009
Daniel Lyons, aka the Fake Steve Jobs, ex-anonymous blogger behind The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs, has some choice words for newspapers: Faced with their own demise, fearful of losing even more advertising, newspapers have made the huge mistake of becoming ever more timid, more cautious, more in bed with the companies they cover.

“If I Was Like You”, A Short Film By Wesley Du
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
This short film (discovered through Racialicious) about racial conflict (perceived or real, intentional or physical) won’t be easy to watch, especially when minimal context is given in its 13-minute run-time.

Martha Wainwright: I know You’re Married but I’ve Got Feelings too – Album Review
Friday, June 13th, 2008
It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Rufus Wainwright released his debut album. I remember reading all the raves about him on a discussion list and finally getting a copy myself. Addiction came quickly, and the one song I found myself keep listening to was In My Arms. It’s the most sparingly orchestrated [...]
Funny Games U.S. – Film Review
