"Tony Hawk: Ride" ($120; Xbox360, Wii, PS3) is a groundbreaking video game that fits right in with the namesake skating legend's no-rough-edges appeal. It's a silky smooth experience with an inventive wireless skate deck controller and a friendly learning curve.

As many of you already know, I'm the proud owner of a DROID™ - Verizon's answer to the iPhone. I can't tell you how excited I was when we picked it up. For once I was going to have the "latest and greatest." I was going to be an "Uber-Geek" with the newest shiny toy.
I don't get out to movie as often as I'd like, mostly because hubby doesn't particularly care for going out and dealing with the crowds, sitting in an uncomfortable seat too small for him, and paying more for a bag of stale popcorn (do they even make it in the theater any more or …
Well Christmas has come and gone but other traditions are still going on. The year is slowly coming to an end and the big party will start as every section of the planet brings in the new year.

Yesterday afternoon I was treated by my darling kids to see James Cameron's new film, Avatar. After the movie, it was Dad's treat to lunch, a place I'd haven't been to in years, but "newly discovered" by the next generation. Funny how that seems to be working out lately.......
First off I'd like to say that I normally don't write book reviews.
A few weeks ago I had the miserable experience of reading Twilight. A friend bought it for me and I took it with me to read on a long flight from Seattle to Houston.

From the article: Google Wave is a hot topic at the moment. The ambitious group collaboration and micro-messaging platform started rolling out in beta via an initial batch of 100,000 invitations two months ago. Many people still want invitations.

A full review of windows 7, how it performs and is it worth it?
From David Pogue's review: There's not much room for the apps on the Droid, either. Although Verizon includes a 16-gigabyte memory card for your music and photos, apps have to be stored in a 560-megabyte chunk of built-in memory. Some Droiders will fill that up quick.

Back in March, when I reviewed the previous Mac mini models—officially called the Mac mini (Early 2009)—Apple's smallest desktop computer had just received a long-overdue refresh: it had been 19 months since the company had touched the Mac mini line.
