The Art of Being an Apple Fan Boy - My iPhone 6 Plus Has Been Purchased
I don't remember when my Apple addiction began. I just know in my early teens having a fascination with Apple as a company. I remember watching Steve Jobs give these electric press conferences and thinking wow this is a company that gets it. My love for the company grew exponentially with the introduction of the iPhone which I purchased right after release and then upgraded to the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and then iPhone 5.
Movie Review: Magic in the Moonlight
Some of my favorite movie memories with Jenn have been watching Woody Allen movies. We both really enjoy his style, his dark sense of humor, and the whimsy in his movies. I don't in any way condone what he's been accused of, but as a film director we are fans. Our love for his movies started with the movie Match Point back in 2005 (highly recommend it) and continued with Scoop, Midnight in Paris, and To Rome with Love.
Discrimination Is Alive and Well in 2014
In the past few weeks both Jon Stewart and John Oliver have done incredible segments on their shows about how discrimination is alive and well in 2014. Jon Stewart used his first episode back on The Daily Show after a two week break to talk about the Ferguson shooting and the fact that racism is still alive and well in the US today. And John Oliver used his show, Last Week Tonight to bring up the embarrassing fact that in 2014 we are still paying women less then men.
Review: Harry's Winston Set
Last week I purchased the Winston Set from Harry's.com. Harry's is a shaving website where all they sell are razors and shaving cream. I've heard about Harry's from a couple of the podcasts I listen too, and it just so happened that I was listening to one of the latest episodes of the /filmcast when I realized that I needed some new razors. I went on their website and was super impressed with their offerings and went big with their top of the line Winston Set.
Movie Review: Guardians of the Galaxy
Earlier this year you might remember that I put out my most anticipated movies of the summer. Outside of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the rest of the list was either middle of the road or just plain bad. One movie I flip flopped on was Guardians of the Galaxy. Jenn and I grew to become a huge fan of Chris Pratt for his role on Parks and Recreation, but the movie just looked dumb.
My Most Anticipated Games For the Rest of 2014
Each year the video game industry hits a major lull during the summer months to ramp up into the holiday season. This year might be the weakest holiday lineup I've seen in years with many getting delayed to early 2015. But there are still a number of games I'm excited for between now and the end of the year, and here they are.
