SCVNGR Review for Android
Jan 4th
I checked-in to one of my favorite podcasts while traveling to work, This Week in Startups. Jason Calanis interviewed an impressive 21-year old CEO, Seth Priebatsch. The interview greatly peaked my interest in yet-another-geolocation application oddly named SCVNGR (pronounced scav·en·ger). To my surprise, this app has a few features that exceed other geolocation apps. Seth coined the application as “social gaming.” From my time toying with this “social gaming app” I can see that some of the processes have been well thought out and as a result displays an intriguing user interface. I know it’s a bit extreme, but within 5 minutes of playing with this app, I felt that I could easily drop my faithful Foursquare and Gowalla apps.

The “Avatar” Experience
Mar 11th
I’m thirty-years old and in the year twenty-ten I finally experienced 3D in a movie theater! My wife was more in shock about it than you.
I’m glad to say that I’ve contributed to the blockbuster movie sales of James Cameron’s Avatar and experienced yet another great Tim Burton masterpiece, Alice in Wonderland. Two great movies and two totally different 3D experiences. Come; see me banter on about the “avatar experience” and the twisted add-on to a timeless classic.
Review: Star Wars, The Clone Wars
Oct 4th
I’m a big Star Wars fan so there was no way I would miss this 3D-cartoon style premier of Star Wars: The Clone Wars presented by Cartoon Network. Because of my life with little kids I haven’t seen the full-motion picture yet. A lot of folks basically gave it the same rating as, “It was OK – you can wait for it to come out on DVD.” This version, being shown on television, uses the same drawing style as the movie. I’m not certain if Cartoon Network will run two half hour shows each week or end up showing one half hour show, but this premier had two shows, pretty sweet.
