Recently, I watched Long Way Down, which is the sequel to Long Way Round. Both of these star Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman. You probably recognize the first name, but possibly not the second (unless you are a huge fan of Deliverance). I’m not sure if a documentary about guys riding around the world is [...]

Review: Kindle Lighted Leather Cover
Kindle 3 makes for the 5th Kindle I’ve bought (previously 2 Kindle 1‘s, a Kindle DX Gen 1), it also marks the first Kindle I’ve actually
The Kindle 3 Has Arrived!
Yesterday, much to my glee, the new Wifi only version or a Kindle DX, I know this one won’t be returned to Amazon. I’ve had more than enough time to get a good idea of how the Kindle 3 works, and how it compares to the Kindle 2, so I thought it was time to [...]
Zombie Review: Highschool of the Dead
Recently a friend recommended to me a new manga by the name of “Highschool of the Dead” (Editor’s note: the manga uses “highschool” as one word, so when referring to the title we will as well, though the correct use is 2 words: high school). He described to me the basic story following high school [...]
Zombie Review: Gungrave
A friend recently recommended some new anime to me: Gungrave. Some of the guys that did Trigun were involved in this as well which also piqued my interest. Gungrave is about the same length as Trigun (approximately 650 minutes), so it is a fairly quick watch. Overall I found it quite amusing, except for one [...]
Quick Review: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04

Review: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Anime)
This weekend I spent some of my free time watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, or more simply Gurren Lagann. This is by no means a new series (it has been out since 2007) I just never got around to watching it. I had heard mixed reviews about it, especially around the character of Yoko. Anyways, after [...]
Review: Akira Bistro – Danville, CA
Akira Bistro 499 San Ramon Valley Blvd Danville, CA 94526 925-552-5888 A few weeks ago I was in downtown Danville and noticed that a new Japanese restaurant was setting up. I find it slightly amusing since they are literally across the street from two other Japanese restaurants. Danville isn’t exactly big, but does it ever [...]
Review: Predators
Last night, I went and saw Predators, which is a sequel to Predator and Predator 2. It was decent. Not bad, but nothing very exciting. There will be minor spoilers, but nothing terrible unpredictable.
