As you all probably know Stan ‘The Man’ Lee has had a cameo in most Marvel movies that have hit the big screen.  The notable exceptions are bombs like Elektra.  That movie was bad and maybe Stan Lee was smart to avoid appearing in it.  Anyway, it has hit the internet what role Stan will [...]

Batman and Robin #1 Review

Leave a Comment Posted by on June 26, 2009

Batman and Robin #1 reunites the team of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. This is the same duo that relaunched the X-Men in the early 2000s. Needless to say, I think they are up to the task of showcasing the new Batman and Robin. Keep in mind, however, thatQuitely is only penciling the first 3 issues before taking a 6 issue hiatus.

Windows 7 Pricing Details Revealed

Leave a Comment Posted by on June 25, 2009

I know it’s a change of pace, but I’m not going to be writing about one of my normal topics I’ve been covering lately. I was browsing Google News today when I saw that the pricing information for Windows 7 had been released. Normally, that wouldn’t be a big deal, but in this case early upgraders are in for a pleasant surprise.

My buddy sent me an e-mail I saw at work.  The Dallas Cowboys just built a brand new stadium.  Currently, it is being used for concerts until Football season starts.  It seems that during the work setting up a concert someone decided to hook their Xbox 360 into the 72 x 160 ft. LED HD [...]
