May 11, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Cop shows in the 80s were cheesy, yes. But they were darn right FUN!
Here are a few flashbacks to a time when a CHP officer could patrol the L.A. freeways during the day and don a pair of roller-skates in the evening….

Anomaly Warzone Earth HD Game Review
May 10, 2012 by Leave a Comment
[Title Screen]
In the game, you command military units in various missions to escort, search and destroy, and kick alien butt through a hostile environment. There are two parts to the action, a tactical map and a battle mode.
The tactical map is your planning stage. Time stands still for you to decide which units to use and which route to plot through the battlefield. Once the units and route is in place, it’s time to set the troops in motion and switch to the battle mode.

LEGO has put lots Marvel’s Avengers LEGO toys on the retail shelf, but how about some custom “real life-size” Avengers weapons used by the superheroes in the movie? Ken Robichaud made his Avengers tribute with LEGO. The Hawkeye bow and arrows look amazing.
PiCycle The Electric Bike
May 9, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Even for a bicycle this is a very clever design, but here they push it even further – they made it into an electric bike. I never drove a hybrid, but just recently I drove the Lexus CT for a day and totally fell in love with it. On the downhill, the speed of the car is reduced, charging your battery and reducing your brake wear. This electric bicycle also contains a similar brake regenerative technology. Most electric bicycles I’ve seen don’t have that. Can’t wait to try one out. I’d wish the city would start a program where one can rent these from say the San Francisco Castro area, ride down Market Street, and end up at the Embarcadero – this would make going to work very enjoyable.

Flashback: 80s Flicks
May 4, 2012 by Leave a Comment
The 80s were a time of newness…a time of happiness…and a time of “geekiness!”
But, what a great time it was! If you were like me, you waited outside a theater or drive-in waiting for the next coming-of-age flick that would set your heart aflutter and your mind at ease…because, after all, we were all geeks. And, somehow, we were all in love with SOMEONE!
