PS3 Set Up

This isn't me, but this guy's set up is nice. Why buy 4 PS3's though?

Morning Commute

I was grumpy yesterday morning and one thing I hate more are people being loud on the train on Monday morning. I have about forty minutes door to door commute and I treasure that time to just be. The following post I wrote on my iPod Touch. It's kind of like stream of consciousness.

Train ride this morning...

Monday

Why do I always sit next to couples on the subway? Why do they talk about bullshit? Drink your fucking coffee and shut up. My morning train ride is about me reading and quiet. I mean everyone else on the train is quiet and these two idiots are yapping!

I see a Nook. I wonder if she knows the iPad is out.

My train conductor tries so hard in the morning. He talks about sports, holidays and even sings. I kid you not. Sometimes I'm so grumpy in the morning that I don't want to laugh but do anyway.

Also to the men dating women....why do some of you act like such scared little boys around your girlfriends/wives. Man up.

Tuesday
Again, I'm sitting next to people who know each other. This time two males who look like they belong in California back in the 60's. There's a woman knitting next to me now and moving her hands violently fast.

Where are the people who take a nap or just read?

Something I've wondered, where are all the iPads. Why haven't I seen any? Are people scared to bring them out? I know I'm going to get a case for mine. Maybe I'm just missing them.

Sex and the City Poster

Yes I'm excited. Although I hope this is the last one!

Palm...Do I hear 500 million?

I root for the underdog. When Transformers were hot I loved Gobots. Today, when everyone has one certain phone I have a Palm Pre.

I just heard news that Palm is putting itself up for grabs. What a shame? I guess at this point, sell their patents to HTC and get a boatload of cash. HTC hopefully will gain some ammunition to fight with that certain entertainment company. It's actually puts me on the path to get the HTC Evo 4G phone around the holidays. We'll see.

The only time products get better is when there's true competition.

My most anticipated movie...

I can't wait! I was a little concerned when I saw the first trailer, but you get to see more "meat" with this one!

Case for 3G

WiFi will work fine for most situations (if you have access to it), but what about those moments when 3G would "save the day". I'm debating on getting the 3G version of a device.

Here's the deal:

1. Do I need to be able to use the device everywhere?
2. What if I'm in ares have WiFi?
3. Will there be applications that will take advantage of those the GPS chip?
4. What about my phone that has a GPS chip?
5. Is there too much overlap?

So today will be a day in the life with WiFi (with my mp3 players w/ WiFi as the subject)

Apartment

• synced with my computer
• downloaded new podcasts
• updated apps
• deleted old podcasts

Walk to subway

• listened to podcasts

On Subway

• listened to music and podcasts

Walk to work

• listened to podcasts

At work (with WiFi)

• glanced at apps

Since my job has WiFi and I'm connected to a computer all day, I don't need to have 3G in the office (Plus, I need to be working). During lunch I won't be surfing that much, I'll be eating. With that, I may be talking myself out of the 3G version during the week. On the weekends I play games on my PS3 and surf the net in my apartment with my broadband connection. If I do go somewhere, I have my Palm Pre to get my email and web stuff. I don't see myself taking something almost 10 inches long out as I walk in NYC to get my email.

Hmmmmm...I know.

Heavy Rain

OMG. I recently started playing the PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain game and it's a game changer "pun intended".

What other game is story based, forces you to make choices that change the path the characters take. I've never played a game with this high level of submersion. Fighting in this game is intense, it's all about timing and hitting the right button(s) at the same time. One character has asthma, so you must know where his inhaler is at all times or you could die.

And die you can. There are four characters: Ethan, Madison, Jayden and Shelby. I'm at the beginning of the game, but even where I am (3 hours in) I'm invested. There was one moment where I almost killed a character. I survived but it was so exhilarating. I like the intensity of the First Person Shooters but games like this just blow me away.

Click the title for more information. I can't speak to the story too much because there are spoilers everywhere. If you have a PS3, you must play this game.

Touch My Media

Another consumer portable device will drop Saturday to I'm sure rave reviews.
I have to say i'm looking forward to the "touch" fun of the device.

Touching a screen to perform a task is very compelling . It's like you are part of something instead of just a spectator. As devices come out I ask myself if I need them or not. This time it is more of a want than I need because I really like tech and gadgets. With my many portable devices: iPod, Palm Pre, PSP, and laptop I take my laptop fewer and fewer places because most things like the the Pre or iPod can perform most functions. My main concern is battery life. I have dedicated devices so that I'm not caught without music or entertainment. If that happens, what do I do?

I won't have this revolutionary device this weekend, but i will when the time is right.

Window Seat

Whoa. Erykah is back. Listen for her statement at the end.
