Re: Launch of New Portable Game Machine
Nintendo Co., Ltd.(Minami-ward of Kyoto-city, President Satoru Iwata) will launch “N intendo 3D S”(temp) during the fiscal year ending March 2011, on which games can be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses.
“Nintendo 3DS”(temp) is going to be the new portable game machine to succeed “Nintendo DS series”, whose cumulative consolidated sales from Nintendo amounted to 125million units as of the end of December 2009, and will include backward compatibility so that the software for Nintendo DS series, including the ones for Nintendo DSi, can also be enjoyed.
We are planning to announce additional details at E3 show, which is scheduled to be held from June 15, 2010 at Los Angeles in the U.S.

First iPhone App Written!
It’s nothing fancy, just the “Hello World!” app that Apple so kindly put in their developer documentation. I even went above and beyond with a custom icon and some fancier text in the app. Now my only problem is that it’s taking forever (over an hour now) to get a Development Provisioning Profile from Apple. […]
I should be programming
An old friend of mine, Ron, responded to one of my Facebook updates by saying “Are you writing some iPhone apps during this time?”. That’s a damn good question. I’ve been doing a lot of reading on Program/Project Management in hopes of landing a PM job with Microsoft, but so far that hasn’t panned out. […]

I should be blogging
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged and normally that would mean that I am extremely busy. But for some reason, I’ve been unemployed since last November and I haven’t made a single post. Well, that’s going to change. Starting tomorrow, I’m going to commit to posting at least 2 blog posts per weekday. Weekend […]
Mini-Review: Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth
After much coveting of this unique bluetooth stereo headset, Amazon’s recent price drop has allowed me to purchase it. And I am way impressed. This is a unique headset. It starts as a standard bluetooth earpiece. And for phone calls it does a great job. It has adaptive noise reduction and multipoint technology to connect […]
Letter to Fox regarding the cancellation of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
After reading Fox’s explanation for canceling TSCC over at SciFiWire, I wrote a letter to the executive quoted in the piece (kevin.reilly@fox.com) expressing my opinions. I urge anybody that would like to see TSCC brought back from the ashes do the same. Here is the email that I sent: Mr. Reilly, I read your statements […]
AceKard 2i Review Coming Soon
In a moment of weakness (and Team Cyclops being offline for over 2 weeks) I ordered an AceKard 2i for my recent Nintendo DSi purchase. I’m 4 days into using the AK2i and I’m very close to writing a formal review. Preview: Compatible with the Nintendo DSi, has nice advanced menu features, decent/timely open-source firmware/loaders, […]

The app utilizes Whispersync to keep your library, bookmarks, and current location in sync between your Kindle and iPhone. Without digging too deep into the app, here is my […]
Apple updates their desktop line and WiFi routers
This morning Apple Inc. updated the Mac Mini, iMac, Airport Extreme, and Time Capsule. We’ve all seen the Photoshopped Mac Mini pictures with a billion USB ports but now we know that it has five. The biggest updates for the desktop line are faster graphics cards, faster CPU’s and lower power consumption. What interests me […]
