Sacred 2: Fallen Angel Xbox Game Review

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 06:07:44 +0000

Michelle is a friend of mine here in Seattle, who also happens to be a gamer. Since I"m not much into gaming myself, I asked her if she would do some reviews for me. For this one, she created a character and learned to play Sacred 2: Fallen Angel. http://geeks.pirillo.com - http://chris.pirillo.com

Chocolate Covered Grasshoppers

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 02:45:15 +0000

Recently, my friend Michelle had come to visit and help me with some video reviews. While she was here, she decided that WE needed to eat chocolate covered grasshoppers. I wasn't too sure about this - and still am not! However, what you see is what happened, and both of our reactions. http://www.twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://twitter.com/Michellegamboa

How to Protect Your iPhone / iPod

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 05:44:22 +0000

http://go.tagjag.com/antiglare - While my iPhone 3G S is synching for the first time, I thought I'd talk to you about keeping one of these babies protected. I used the nCase on my original iPhone, but stopped using it when I switched to the iPhone 3G. Well, with the 3G S, I'm going back to my nCase! It's slim and light, and works very well. I also recommend using an anti-glare covering of some type, to help protect your eyes. http://www.twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://chris.pirillo.com - http://geeks.pirillo.com

Unboxing the iPhone 3GS

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:22:47 +0000

http://www.twitter.com/chrispirillo - A couple of years ago I sat at my desk claiming I'd never buy an iPhone on the first day. I thought my then-current phone was fine, and did everything I wanted it to. Not long after that, I recanted and started to use an iPhone. I've never looked back, and won't GO back. My iPhones have done so much more than I could have ever asked for or expected from a phone, which is why I'm so excited about my new iPhone 3GS!! http://geeks.pirillo.com - http://chris.pirillo.com

SSD Video Camera

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 07:50:44 +0000

http://www.twitter.com/chrispirillo - Last week, I uploaded footage of Wicket as I was testing optical image stabilization. That is a feature that is available on most cameras these days. I used the Samsung HMX-H106 to record that video... and will definitely be using it to record others, as well! It's not as small as some of the cameras that I have, but the superior quality definitely makes up for that! http://geeks.pirillo.com - http://chris.pirillo.com

How to Visualize CSS Font Properties

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 07:40:39 +0000

http://www.twitter.com/chrispirillo - What is your favorite font of all time? If you say Comic Sans, I'm going to jump through the camera. I admit I used to use Comic Sans back in the day when I started doing newsletters. If you've ever had the need to create a web page and needed to change the way the font looked... you likely opened a CSS editor. And then - you were probably lost, since it's not easy. There's a tool out there, however, that will easily help you tweak any font you can find! http://chris.pirillo.com - http://geeks.pirillo.com

What's the Best Hard Drive Enclosure to Buy?

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 21:21:29 +0000

http://go.tagjag.com/nexstar - A few days ago, I heard whimpering from my closet. I thought one of the dogs had been stuck inside there. Low and behold, it was an old hard drive whining to be used once again. However, I needed an enclosure to put it in! When I had the opportunity to look at the NexStar 3 from Vantec, I jumped on it! http://geeks.pirillo.com - http://chris.pirillo.com
