NSFP: Not Safe for Pesach?
3 Comments Published by Jason March 21st, 2008 in Martial Arts, Uncategorized. Share ThisThis gift seems a little weird, even for my family. I get that someone else claimed multi-colored eggs and chocolate bunnies to celebrate their holiday, but did we have to go this far? Reminds me of this bad idea.

Another Net Relic: the Delta Ad
4 Comments Published by Jason March 20th, 2008 in Great Men, Uncategorized. Share ThisWow.

Insanely Great Top Gear: Polar Edition
4 Comments Published by Jason February 28th, 2008 in Uncategorized. Share This I was flying from SFO to JFK on United and the flight attendant handed me this crazy portable MP3 video player.

Gears of War 2 — November 2008
2 Comments Published by Jason February 21st, 2008 in Uncategorized. Share ThisI loved Gears of War. Gears was the safety blanket that made losing Halo and the Master Chief a little less harsh — I can hardly wait to chain-saw me some 13 year old multi-play dweebage. Plus the lighting/music effects in the GoW adventure were actually creepy!
The effectiveness of this tried and trusted console […]
