At least Words With Friends is admitting it has problems

March 16, 2010 · 2 Comments

While Words With Friends is one of my favorite iPhone pastimes it has its fair share of issues. Lengthy loading times, freezing, and crashing are not uncommon for this app. It looks like there is finally an anouncement letting users know the developers are aware of the problem and are trying to fix a bug when it arises. Good first step to retaining players of the game. Next would be to eliminate the problems altogether.

The White House is No Stranger to Blacklisting Reporters

March 10, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Robert Novak’s 600 some-odd paged memoir, The Price of Darkness, gives a fascinating look behind the scenes of doing business in Washington.

Update: The final tally of newborns comes to four (three boys and one girl) after an emergency c-section. She had a total of six puppies and two were unfortunately lost.

LEGO people make the best Apple cord holders

I got this idea a couple of days ago so I finally decided to dig up my old LEGOs and put it together. Didn’t have any firm plans in mind but after playing around for a bit (and reverting back to childhood bliss) I came up with this space port scene. The cables even kind of look like rocket fuel pipes. Problem is going to be when I have to bring my cables along with me somewhere.

What’s not to like about adorable, slow motion animals?

March 3, 2010 · Leave a Comment

When I first heard about this video I was a little skeptical. I’m not really a huge “animal video” person. This on the other hand is not only downright adorable but it’s awesome camera work too. Kudos to Pedigree.
