Bend Over and Take a Deep Breath If You Want a GT-R

So We’ve long extolled the virtues of the upcoming Nissan GT-R. Namely being that with permanent awd and a turbocharged V6 good for 480 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque all at a msrp of only $69,000, it offers an amazing bang-for-the-buck proposal. Now when we heard there would only be 1,500 GT-R’s coming to [...]

Did Obama Snub Clinton?!?!

The State of the Union is quite inhospitable these days!
At last night’s State of the Union address, Hillary and Barack had some encounters that did not seem so friendly. You can judge for yourself, though.

Apple Crisp Dessert

So I was sorta bored last night and decided that I wanted to make Apple Crisp, which is a very simple version of any Apple Pie recipe. To start, grab 3-4 apples, brown sugar, sugar, flour, butter (room temperature), cinnamon, pastry cutter, mixing bowl, 9 inch-or-so baking dish (I used a round one), apple [...]

New 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL, Pictures Leaked

So one of my favorite cars has always been the Mercedes-Benz SL Class. It offers pretty much the perfect combination of style, sport, and luxury. With models ranging from the “homely” SL550 with its 5.5 litre V8 engine offering 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque to the monster that is the Sl65 AMG [...]

Election 2008: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Each Candidate

With the coming election, it is important to begin to investigate the political atmosphere.
Already, with only an extremely small portion of the population voting, we have seen multiple candidates drop out. On the democrats’ side: Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, and finally Kucinich; on the republicans’: Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson.

Cloverfield: Expectations Reassessment

The 2008 movie year has, in my opinion, officially started. This afternoon, I watched the movie that everyone has been talking about (praise or just plain bitching). Cloverfield is JJ Abram’s vision of a true disaster-monster film (yes, it is a monster and yes, you get to see what it looks like). [...]

Sony Ericsson W580 Review by a Tech Enthusiast

So, for the past few months I had the pleasure of using Sony Ericsson’s W580. I came across this phone by accident of breaking my other phone, and I must say, I am impressed with my decision in such short notice.
As a slider phone, its only 14 mm thick and weighs only 3.3 oz.

Thinnest TV Ever…

OK so for all of you who regularly frequent this blog (although I doubt there is anyone), you’ll know that Noelbert recently wrote this article: http://roastlechon.com/2008/01/08/thinnest-plasma-or-tv-ever/ about the thinnest tv ever. Well the Pioneer Kuro concept might actually be the thinnest ever at only 9 mm, but it’s still a concept and that means [...]
