Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Oppo’s Muse G11 gets real
Monday, September 29th, 2008
In our perpetual search for the perfect “miniature PMP that just so happens to play SNES games with a reasonable control scheme,” the Oppo Muse G11 is certainly a forerunner. We swooned when we saw those swivel-display technical drawings, and now Oppo has the first prototype of the device out and about. We’re still a little short on tech specs, but as long as that mystery processor is prepared to draw Chrono Trigger with pixel-perfect precision, we couldn’t care less.

ASUS doles out gold and blue Eee PCs
Monday, September 29th, 2008
With the introduction of the well-received N10, we thought maybe — just maybe — ASUS was moving beyond its disgusting obsession with mutilating the Eee brand. Instead, we’re now faced with fresh hues of two old faces: the blue 901A and the gilded 900A. Looks as if all the internals have remained the same, though there’s no indication what kind of premium (if any) you’ll have to pay for your color of choice.

Baby got back alright, but she ain’t got the moves!

How I Know I’m In Love?
Friday, September 19th, 2008A sensuous kiss from my sixty-five-year-old husband still gives me a tummy twinge like I had as his date and as his new bride.But this is the tip of the monumental essence of our going-on-thirty-sixth-year marriage.
What comes to mind are those treasured words,”How do I love thee? Let me count the ways …”I love Michael more than for kisses or our shared sexuality.Love has graced into our lives,built from quiet,whispering moments.
He shows his love by his actions.He cuts and splits fire-wood in the fall and winter months,to help conserve on our energy bills.He runs errands and shops for groceries if I want to stay home and write or work on my studies.He encourages and supports me in wherever a new goal’s journey may be taking me. And I swear that this man has more faith than I do in my dreams,what I can accomplish,and me.I love this about him.
In 1976,when he quit smoking,he told me,”I want to live my life with you because I love you — this is why I’m quitting.I want to be here for you and our kids.” I admired and respected him for this,but I was so young that I never knew the reality of these words of his,about his wanting to grow old with me.But here I am ,at age fifty-four,smoke-free,and loving the example he set for me.Being older has drawn me to understand “growing old together,” too.
He’s an insightful man,truly listens,and gives sound advice.He’s tender,strong,and understanding.For me,anyone who’s able to understand me like he does is near sainthood! His deep love and devotion took care of me throungh a five-year illness in the Eighties,when most men would’ve run in the other direction.
He’s humorous and tells delightful stories.It can be a story about his childhood or family,or about something that happened in the service or in college–whatever it is .he tells it with charm and knows how to entertain.He’s a very quiet man,so when he talks,I listen.
He’s my taxi driver,my lover,my friend,and mylife partner.When I found him,I found myself.As the years have grown,I fall more in love with him,in different,small ways.And in large ways too,like when he took care of the household uties and me after my major surgery last year.
I grew to love writing poetry and I compose my poems based on my true live of him.I feel that our daily activities are like unspoken ballets of things we do for each other.I’m in love with being in love with him.
And he cooks,too!
Aubrey O’Day Wants to be a Porn Star

Aubrey O’Day
That’s the feeling I get when I see these pics of Aubrey O’Day of Danity Kane fame in Complex Magazine. They’re just a bit too trashy for my taste. I can see why Diddy gets on her case constantly about her image not fitting in with Danity Kane. The big hair, the excessive makeup and the lack of clothes (which is usually a good thing) really doesn’t fit the sophisticated persona that Diddy tries to create for Danity Kane.
But she doesn’t care what we think. As Aubrey puts it:
If I have to be ridiculed and called a whore and the party animal and the dumb girl for the rest of my career, I’m OK with that. Because I love who I am. You’re going to have to interpret me however you’re going to interpret me.
Marissa Miller Malibu Magazine Photos
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008
Malibu Magazine has a great set of photos as well as an interview with veteran Sports Illustrated and Victoria Secret supermodel Marissa Miller.
Did you always want to be a model? Were you shocked when photographer Mario Testino discovered you on that fateful day in Manhattan Beach?
No and yes. As you know I’m from Santa Cruz, a really small town in Northern California. There is really very little awareness of the entertainment industry or tabloids or US Weekly up there. Even to be aware of celebrity is rare. Everybody pretty much surfs or skates, and it’s a very simple existence. S0, modeling wasn’t something I even knew was an occupation. Even when I was 16 years old putting pictures and posters on my wall, I never had the thought, “Oh, the people in these pictures are models and this is what they do for a living.” It was just my sisters and I messing up our room, just ripping out pages in magazines and sticking them on the wall. That was the extent of me reading fashion magazines. I didn’t really have a big clue about any of it. I was aware of it, but nothing like this is what I want to do some day.
Danny Choo Featured on CNN
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008
If you’re wondering who Danny Choo is, he’s the crazy storm trooper on YouTube (over 1 million views) that dances at various places in Tokyo to the song “Let’s Groove Tonight.”
Danny also has his own website dannychoo.com, where he talks about his life and work in Japan. It’s a site I visit every so often to see what weird Japanese pop culture phenomenon Danny has discovered. This morning however, was a completely different story. I checked in and saw that Danny was featured on CNN. My jaw just dropped. My jaw dropped again when I learned that his dad is none other than luxury stiletto shoe designer Jimmy Choo.
Now most sons would just live off their mega wealth fathers, but Danny chose a different path. He pursued his dream in Tokyo without daddy’s help, and that just rocks.
Congrats on the CNN feature Danny, and keep up the incredible work!
Curtis Jackson On Conan O’Brien
Thursday, September 11th, 2008
Curtis hits up Conan to talk about his new movie “Righteous Kill,” with Robert Deniro and Al Pacino, his record beef with Kanye West, owning Mike Tyson’s mansion, and a kissing scene he’d like to have with Eva Mendes.
Fifty is pretty funny and entertaining. I actually wouldn’t mind watching Righteous Kill after seeing this interview.
