I am what I am. I like food, photography, and anything that does not involve getting mortally wounded, or dying. I don't take things too seriously, so i'm not at all that serious about being serious. Seriously, just have fun, which is what I like to do sometimes, as long as I don't die, or get mortally wounded.

Scope is playing with my emotions

As today being April 1st, it’s the tradition to play some practical pranks, and the mouthwash company played a pretty good one. I love bacon, If I could marry bacon, I would. Bacon is good with everything, and I do believe it is the secret to achieving world peace. I haven’t figured it out yet, but I am working on it. Anyway, I’m sure many of you has seen this, but for your viewing pleasure, here it is. (This is a very smart faux marketing campaign on Scope’s part)

At long last Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 for VZW Galaxy Nexus!

Finally received the OTA for the next iteration of Android Jelly Bean, 4.2.2. Its been a week since it has been announced for Verizon Nexus handsets and several months since it has been released. I will have to play with it more but at first glance, loving the new improvements.

Did anyone else get the OTA?

Update: Here’s a list of the changes as released by Verizon

Happy Birthday Intel Pentium!

Well it was actually yesterday. One of the most recognized names in the world today, the Pentium turned 20 yesterday. It probably also made Intel a household name, and with the ad blitz in the 90’s, that ‘Intel Inside‘ tone (you know that it…you probably just hummed it), and the ‘Intel Inside’ stickers, everyone pretty much know’s what an Intel Pentium is.

OMG, I cannot wait for this to come out!

Another Castle

Life returns to hurricane status this Summer 2013 when DuckTales, originally released on the NES in 1989, gets remastered and re-released for the 360, PS3, and Wii U.

Capcom announced their classic remastering during their PAX East Panel, World of Capcom. The company had originally handled both DuckTales titles on the NES and promises to keep the title true to form; featuring original character voice talent and level backgrounds from the original TV show.

On top of all that, all in-game art will be hand-drawn and all original images that WayForward had originally used will be kept as a blueprint.

Capcom is also working closely with Disney and ensured fans that the game will be, “just as you remember.”

On a brief personal level, I have never been more excited for a game in my life. Q3 2013 can not come fast enough.

Earworm: Sexy Back – Justin Timberlake

I wasn’t much of a JT fan back in the day, but slowly and surely, his music remained popular enough to be replayed on the radio and satellite radio. Not only does he get airtime, but he was getting screen presence, with a few movies here and there, and his frequent guest spots on SNL. Hearing his music throughout the years just kinda sank in my consciousnesses, and I slowly transformed from being a hater to being a fan. He is simply an amazing performer, not just singing, but, his on screen presence is great. He is this era’s Frank Sinatra (ok, not quite there yet, but, he is becoming a legend in his own right). Even his new song, ‘Suit and Tie‘, when I first heard it, I was like, “WTF?!”, then it grew on me, and I hum it a lot, maybe because it does get a lot of play on commercials also, but, it’s not like Bruno, or the Lady Gaga’s. It does not get over killed, and his song’s are just that much better.

Sexy Back remains my favorite track of his. Can’t quite figure out why, but it is.

Here’s a barbershop quartet version he did with Jimmy Fallon

Earworm: Istanbul (Not Constantinople) – Milan & Phoenix

I recently heard this on SiriusXM recently, I can’t believe this was covered. I am so glad that Milan & Phoenix just did their own spin on it, and not ruin the song. (Unlike Pitbull and Christina Aguilera’s “Feel This Moment” which sample’s what could arguably be one of the 80’s best songs, A-Ha‘s Take On Me, but that’s another topic for another time). I enjoy this remake, and it’s a nice break from the daily drudgery of today’s pop music. I first heard this song back in the 90’s from Loony Tunes. I later found out it was a song by They Might Be Giants. (they also did a bit for another TMBG song, Triangle Man). It’s such a fun song, and i’ve been humming it on and off. The video is fun too, playing on the old silent films. Enjoy the video, as well as the Loony Tunes version.

Logitech officially tags its ‘G’ series peripherals for gaming.

Logitech G510 Gaming Keyboard in all it’s backlit glory

Logitech‘s G series has been around a while and while associated with gaming, it was never officially for gaming. With the announcement they released a slew of new devices, mostly updates to their current offerings. Haven’t had a chance to check out what’s new under the hood, but they did refresh the aesthetics. I like how the ‘WASD‘ keys are grey ad the rest is black. I hope they didn’t change much since I just a G700 mouse and a G510 keyboard. I do recommend both for anyone looking, and it should be offered at a discounted price with te launch http://tinyurl.com/c3uyfwa
