Foursquare : The Rap Song
Well location services are the rage at the moment but only Foursquare can claim to have a rap song as far as I know.
Think we will be hearing this in the club near you soon?

My New Geeky Wallet From Comic Wallet
So I have been thinking of getting a new wallet and was like hey I want to get something geeky and thats when i found Comic Wallet.
Now I cannot think of something more geeky then a wallet that is made out of comic books and with Comic Wallet that is what you get.
They have all kinds of options from Batman and Green Lantern to Iron Man and Thor.
I went with a Green Lantern one....here is a little info and some images of the one I purchased.
This is a wallet made from the cover of Green Lantern Rebirth 6. It features the cover graphic on the front of the wallet with Kyle, John and Hal on the inside.
So check out the site and you can also follow Comic Wallet on twitter. I will of course have something to say once it arrives in the mail so be on the lookout for my thoughts.

At The Movies With The Geek : Shutter Island
For this installment of At The Movies With The Geek we are gonna looks at Shutter Island which was direceted by Martin Scorsese and staring Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Kingsley.
from imdb:
It's 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston's Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. He's been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he wonders whether he hasn't been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. Teddy's shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals "escape" in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything - his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.

BBS’s And The Sound Of My Youth
So I saw a story on Techcrunch today about the BBS and it having a birthday. First Happy Birthday to the BBS and wow does that bring back memories! I remember printing off the list of local numbers here in the Kansas City area I could dial up, jumping on my computer and firing up the 1200 baud modem that was installed.
I remember trying to get access to all those shady Adult BBS's in the area, my first zip file came from a bbs, uploading files so I could get credits to download a game, sending private messages/chatting with other local users, having my family pick up the phone and mess up my connection, jumping on a MUDD and playing for a couple hours. Ahh the good times and who could forget that sound?....the sound of logging on and entering a kool new world definately a sound of my youth.
Well that is my flashback to the old days. How about you? Did you use any bbs systems? Run one (I set a couple up in my day). Let us know. Lets bring out the stories.

Google Buzz DOES Work On The Palm Pre!!!
So I have to say I was a little disappointed when Google Buzz launched last week and it looked like us Palm Pre users were gonna be out of luck using the mobile edition.
Well I am happy to say that now we are able to by using the following url
https://m.google.com/app/buzz?force=1
Now the only feature so far that I can see that doesn't work on the Pre is the location based stuff which really I am ok with. At this time I am happy with having the mobile version at my finger tips.

Google Buzz Parody Video
Since last week when Google Buzz there has been a little press on it...just a little. Some love it, some hate it, some don't like the privacy aspects of it.
Now you can add parody videos to that list. Check this video that pokes some fun at the Google Buzz promo video. Enjoy! Oh and if you are not already make sure to follow me on Buzz.

So now you know and now you to can agree that this card rocks! hehe
