Cheddar Burning A Hole In Your Pocket?

     Saving money can be a very difficult thing to do in tough economic times.  The thing is that most people don't save when times are good.  It's easy to find things to spend money on from clothes, vacations, going out to eat and of course....sneakers.  That gives us instant gratification, but that only lasts so long.  Here's an article that brings up some great points about how spending too much can hold us back from security and consistent life.  Click here to read.

Stormtroopers Are Real People

     Star Wars is the best, even the 3 prequels, and just like the millions of other fans out there, we grew up with the franchise.  There are cult followings for almost anything in the Star Wars family, especially for the Stormtroopers.  I could look at these pictures from WildAmmo.com all day.  Finally, factual evidence that definitely proves that Stormtroopers exist and this is what they do in their downtime.  Super awesome.

When Does A Big Mac Look Healthy?

     When you compare the burger classic to some of these "burgers" that have crossed the line of gluttony a long time ago.  This is where the pictures do a lot of the talking and your heart does a lot of crying.  ForkParty.com's list of 50 heart stopping burgers can be found here.
     Since we're in the burger mood, also saw this link about a Minnesota specialty called the "Jucy Lucy" and it definitely looks worthy of mention.  Check it out.

A Billi A Billi A Billi ....

     Millionaires sounded like comic book super heroes back in the 80's, but now we're into a new decade and Forbes has announced their celebrity Billionaires list (as of Feb. 2010).  You can read the article here and also get a complete list of the richest people in the world.  Needless to say, the numbers are stunning and the amount these people make is just mind boggling.

Avatar The Last Bender on the Super Bowl

Don’t forget to tune-in to Super Bowl XLIV this Sunday on CBS to see a 30-second TV Spot for M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming movie "The Last Airbender".

This is a good way to get familiar if you have no idea what this is about. It is set to be trilogy and it's based off of a Nickolodean Cartoon about a bunch of "benders" doing kung fu while controlling the elements. There is The nomadic "Air Bender" tribe, the "Fire" nation lead by the main bad guy, the mysterious Fire Lord . There is an eskimo like "Water" tribe in the North pole and lastly the "Earth" nation. Aang who is "the Avatar", is the child who must learn all four elements to save the world. Buttttttt he's been stuck in a iceberg for like a 100 years. All of his tribe has perished and the world about to be taken over by the Fire Nation.

Tht trailers and test screening has the movie leaning to positive reviews. M. Night Shyamalan is calling it his Lord of The Rings, his Star Wars. Those are pretty high expectations, but I'm pretty pumped. The cartoon was great, the action looks ood, special effects look to be on point.....I'm hoping this movie that puts M. Night Shyamalan back in the business of making great movies, comparable to "The Sixth Sense" since his last few have quite frankly sucked.

Lost Theories - Final Season

I know we know that what ever has happened…happened.
And we know "dead" is no longer really dead.

The side flashes we are seeing is a new “Now” time-line where the “Man in Locke” aka “Smokey” is the Locke on the plane that gets off at LAX. The man in black basically says that he’s going home… he’s getting off the Island???
What ever it is inside of Locke, it is not the real Locke that we see in season one. The reason he is not the beaten man that didn’t go on a walkabout is because he is still "Smokey". So this still continues that what ever happened… has happened

Sayid is Jacob Reincarnated.

This season is about the shake out of flashes of people on the island fighting for a spot to get off the island aka get on the Plane so they can get to the new timeline…the timeline that plane lands in LAX .

The Oceanic 6 will appear to die on island but will be reincarnated into the new time line.

Ipad

My Take..... Bad Name. The ad Guru that landed on that name should be fired. As for the product itself, it is “Mundanely Apple”. Yes its slick, but that doesn’t seam to be enough anymore for the trend setting, market defining tech behemoth. The iPad is not for everyone. The current market (2010) for this is for people who buy technogoly early, your early adapters. The future of the iPad will help to define a computing era where more and more products become smart items. A computerized and connected refrigerator, internet connected television, etc., are being released in mass this year. Its filling a “tweener” hole for someone who doesn't need a full use computer as we know it today, no matter how small, but this user wants connectively to information, to friends, to work. They want a place to access their photos, their music, their movies so they can be entertained and connected on demand.

It is not trying to be a dumbed down, feature poor computer, it is trying to be a very smart stack of paper. And it looks like its going to do that very well. And the user will look very cool while doing it.
