This is not the year of the Monkey as far as the Chinese years go, but I sure hear a lot about monkeys in the media since Obama was elected. This new Dave Mathews Band album has a new song making it on the charts called “Slap Me Like a Monkey.” It’s a noisy song [...] [...more]

This is not the year of the Monkey as far as the Chinese years go, but I sure hear a lot about monkeys in the media since Obama was elected. This new Dave Mathews Band album has a new song making it on the charts called “Slap Me Like a Monkey.” It’s a noisy song but everyone seems to like it.

Funny, but I seem to remember this blue was available last summer as one of their three “test flavors.” And I could be wrong, but I think I’ve seen this orange before, as well.

Not sure how much demand there is for a version of Myst to be played on a cell phone, but it’s been released with big promises of people clamouring to play. How do these people afford all that air time? How do they keep their phone batteries charged up? Where are they that they have to play on their phone instead of a computer?
