RBS is a side scrolling shooter that is extremely challenging and a visual feast! I just picked it up on Steam for a few bucks and if you like shoot-em-ups, then I'd wholeheartedly recommend it. It's currently on special for $2.50, so do you want a burger or this? Oh and I should mention; it's best played with an Xbox 360 controller in my opinion.
Really Big Sky on Steam:

TWiT (This Week in Tech) is where I get my tech news and general audio entertainment from. Whether I’m on my commute, writing some late-night code, or just unwinding there’s always something for me on the TWiT network. One of the more innovative shows (I think) is Triangulation. Read More
I picked up a Roadster recently after the idea was recommended to me by a fellow gdgt user.
I’m not going to say much as there are a few reviews out there already, but I would like to touch on something that the reviews didn’t mention – the volume level. The Roadster is designed to sit just a foot or so away from your face on the driver-side visor of your car. At this small distance away, the volume level far exceeds my phone’s speakerphone and in fact, the volume of the Roadster is much higher than any phone’s built in speakerphone (that I have encountered).

I’m going to start this post with two links. These links lead to the most valuable communities in the Android world (for the end user):
At this point if I don’t sound kind of silly it’s because you’ve heard of or enlisted the help of these communities. XDA is a collection of extremely talented developers how have normal day jobs like you and I, but spend their time trying to make their phones prettier, faster, and better. ‘Cyanogen’ is a custom ROM or Firmware that has had nothing but acclaim since the cellphone carriers started to treat your phone like a billboard (more on that in a bit).

In my recent search for the most psychedelic space shooter… (I didn’t realize I was searching but clearly I am) Beat Hazard is the latest find. I’ve often seen update notifications go by in my Steam RSS feed and this told me the developer was active, but I’d never played the game. This week during the annual Steam Holiday Sale, impulse buying got the better of me and I grabbed a copy of Beat Hazard. Read More
Waves is a dual-stick shooter with beautifully immersive visuals and a collection of very addictive game modes. To put it simply, it’s an arcade style game where you shoot things. I hate to compare it to an existing success, but if you love Geometry Wars, you’ll adore Waves. Before I get into a brief review and show a few screen shots, here’s the developer’s Read More
I’ve used the Wakemate for a while and the final verdict is that I love it. It’s a lot better than a regular alarm clock. However, when I first got my Wakemate it wouldn’t play nicely with my Samsung Epic 4G (Galaxy S). That’s a real shame as these are one of the most popular Android phones (Galaxy S) and the key with a product such as the Wakemate is that it works reliably across the board.
After much troubleshooting and testing I actually gave up on using it with my primary cell phone. (I would have tried my wrist band on my iPad, but unfortunately Apple’s policies forbid this… Don’t act so surprised) So instead, I bought an old Motorola Droid v1 from a co-worker. It works flawlessly with the Droid Read More
