Fried Chicken and Waffles???

illc0mm — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:51:27 +0000

Nothing like Fried Chicken and Waffles to cure that hangover… This was on the menu at Grand Lux Cafe at the Palazzo… Other than that, they had a really good Corned Beef Hash and Eggs as well as an excellent Eggs Benedict…

Depeche Mode Singles - Amazon $3.99 Entire Album

I just saw this at Amazon.com for $3.99 and thought it was a good deal, it would cost over $20 at iTunes. And the download is DRM free MP3 so you can play it on anything. Awesome!

Tampa Bay Area Starbucks Closings

illc0mm — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 21:07:37 +0000

As we all know, Starbucks is closing 600 stores, below is a list of stores reported to be closing in the Tampa Bay area by the Tampa Bay Business Journal. It appears a couple of those being closed have have neighboring stores within a mile or less so there shouldn’t be any major issues. There is one, however, which just opened only a few months ago at 6th Avenue and 6th Street S in Saint Petersburg, just across from Bayfront Medical Center. This kind of stinks because the Joffrey’s at Bayfront Medical Center/Plaza just doesn’t quite take it’s place.

What if the iPhone “brick” tragedy extended to other parts of our lives? BRICKED!, our exclusive Revision3 video, provides a glimpse into that dark world…

They’re calling it the iPocalypse. On Friday, as droves of loyal Apple fans tried to activate their shiny new iPhone 3Gs or upgrade their old iPhones to the new iPhone 2.0 firmware, the iTunes servers at Apple buckled under the crush of downloads. The tragic result was that giddy Apple fan boys and girls the world over had their new toys reduced to useless ‘bricks’ until home downloads could be completed or, for those trying to get the phones activated in Apple stores, after waiting in 2 to 3 hour lines at the Genius Bar.

But what would happen if this awful ‘bricking’ extended to other crucial parts of our lives? BRICKED!, our exclusive Revision3 video, tells that horrific story…

Hello, Hello

illc0mm — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 13:28:27 +0000

In preparation for Friday’s iPhone 3G launch, a music video from the original iPhone launch. This is from GeekBrief.TV podcast GBTV #0387.

From GeekBrief.tv:

The release of the iPhone last year was one of the most fun days of my life. We waited in line for ten hours and bonded with the people waiting with us. We’re not expecting the same magic this year, but we still want to make it an unforgettable day.

Friday, July 11, 2008 People are flying and driving in to buy their phones with us at Northpark in Dallas, and then we’ll all have lunch at Buca di Beppo (Park Lane).

The music video is from the launch of the iPhone and the song is Hello, Hello by Geoff Smith. You can buy his latest album, Ones and 0’s, at RingtoneFeeder.com. You can also follow him on Twitter at Twitter.com/GeoffSmith.

China’s military tries out Segways

Via Engadget and CNET:

Members of China’s armed police demonstrate a rapid deployment during an anti-terrorist drill held in Jinan, capital of east China’s Shandong Province July 2, 2008, roughly one month ahead of the Beijing Olympics.

Uhhh, okay… I guess that’s one way to do it, as long as there are no obstacles in your path, or your Segway doesn’t decide to reverse it’s course out of the blue.
