NFL Draft 2010: Chuck Norris Wears Tim Tebow Pajamas

Posted by Bruce Owens On April - 6 - 2010 3 COMMENTS

tebow-angelBattle lines have been drawn amongst the world of sports reporting when it comes to discussing how Tim Tebow’s skillset can or cannot translate onto an NFL field of play. You can’t find anyone interested in sports that does not have an opinion on what he can do well and where he lacks skills. Some harp on his throwing mechanics lacking while others swear he is the next Joe Montana. The bottom line is that the kid can throw, scramble and lead… otherwise NO ONE would be talking about him.

On top of his athleticism, Tim Tebow is charismatic, bright and his moral compass is so squeaky clean that he makes Kurt Warner look like Joey Porter….or maybe even Ben Roethlisberger. It makes you wonder if this could possibly be the most perfect Quarterback the NFL Draft has ever seen. Read the rest of this entry »

Sony Pooh-Poohs 3DS

Posted by Jonah Falcon On March - 24 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

marioIn predictable fashion, Sony is pooh-poohing Nintendo’s 3DS, saying there will be no interest among the “younger demographic” of the DS crowd, and 3D on the PlayStation 3 will be where it’s at.

SCEA’s director of hardware and marketing, John Koller, told IGN:

“Our focus on 3D right now is on the console. There’s a tremendous amount of opportunity on PlayStation 3 with 3D. The amount of interest in 3D from the retail side and game publishers is off the charts. We know we have a hit with 3D on PS3 and we’re going to concentrate our efforts there Read the rest of this entry »

Ultimate ManRoom Richard Charschan 8You’ve heard of do-it-yourselfers. But Richard Charschan has something on them—he’s a pro. The president of AcousticSmart—a family-owned company that specializes in the design and fabrication of acoustically treated custom home theater interiors and home theater seating—Charschan has gone without a dedicated space of his own for quite some time now. “It’s like the shoemaker who has holes in his own shoes,” he says. “I wanted something that would serve as a corporate showroom, as well as be a great addition for me and my family.” A quality theater needs complete sound isolation. His house has only two levels and no basement. He immediately ruled out the main floor, which has no suitable spaces. The construction team found the answer where Charschan parks his car: the two-car garage. Read the rest of this entry »
