Seriously trivial thoughts
MaximumPC uses Coverleaf and PC Magazine uses Zinio. Zinio appears to have the larger library, but Coverleaf does have recognizable magazine names. One big difference is that Zinio allows you to use an optional desktop client whose use is obviously directed at offline reading. That’s a nice feature. The desktop client also has annotation features …
Is it just me or is MaximumPC trying hard to hide its digital subscription? I never heard of it until I accidentally stumbled across the mention of it and dug around. First off, you’d think that with print magazines barely hanging on, a subscription link would be right there in your face on the website, …
Yup, just put both games up on eBay. Gears2 was pretty good. COD World at War (aka COD5) just never caught my interest. Kinda boring. yawn. Just picked up Left 4 Dead and it immediately gets you hooked!
Received an email from Amazon with the title: Accessorize Your Amazon.com Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Gold Card plus 1 Month Bonus Purchase How do you “accessorize” what is essentially a gift card??? What were there suggestions? Basically Xbox 360 stuff.

Got this unexpected email from CDBaby.com suggesting Zaba Grace and Marla Sokolof. A long while ago I bought a bunch of CDs from them. They offer a lot of indie artists. Anyways, they got a couple cool new features, one is streaming previews and the other is unDRM'd MP3s. So I can check the songs …
Orb is a very cool way to remotely listen to your mp3s saved on your home computer. (It also does video and photos.) Basically, you install the software from Orb.com on your home PC and point it to the folder with the media. Then on a remote PC, like at work, you log onto Orb.com …
Well, the day finally came. I happened to be in a Target and they had several Wii's just sitting there. I called my buddy and he confirmed that it was not an HD device…I'm out of HD inputs. I got the green light from my wife and my kid was foaming at the mouth. Took …
