Welcome to the Dojo 3/29/11

1. Chemists Turn Gold to Purple – On Purpose
   The useful part of this story is that a fuel cell can be created using a common protein.
2. Blood Test to Spot Cancer Gets Big Boost
   This would be absolutely HUGE!
3. How to recycle that old Apple iPhone or Android smartphone for cash
   Yeah, but how much cash? hehe
4. Okla. Boy Delivers Baby Brother At Home
   8-year-old comes up big, helping Mom. How cool is that?
5. Grandmother Helps Beat the Infant Mortality Odds
   “An 81 year-old grandmother runs one of the most successful birthing clinics in the nation in the city with the worst infant mortality rate.” Life is precious, don’t forget that.

Dojo Info 1/17/10

1. Steam Account Sells for $1,000 on eBay
   Why would this crazy resort to utter madness? “I am going to try to spend more time with my family and doing other hobbies.” Oh. That’s fair… I guess.
2. Dylan Cuthbert: Game Funding Model Is “Fundamentally Broken”
   Publishers hold the power and will only bank of titles they believe have sure-fire success written all over them. That’s why any developer who wants to take risks and innovate, needs to find a relatively small publishing company or go it alone. Yes, I agree it’s broken.
3. Bump Goes Cross-Platform With New Android App; Upgrades iPhone Version Too
   Too hip app that I must have.
4. Live coverage of Google’s Android phone announcement
   World domination! Watch out for Google!
5. Video game sales explode in industry’s best month ever
   I think it’s inventive games on the Wii that are the big surprise. Nintendo is quite visionary in that regard.

Smartphone Comparison Shows MyTouch the Winner

Check that stuff out. Looks promising but proof is in the playing.

• Total Cost of Ownership: myTouch 3G versus iPhone 3GS versus Palm Pre
  Cost of ownership is worthwhile to consider.
• CNET picked the Pre over the MyTouch.
  2nd generation phone better than first but still behind iPhone and Palm.
• Quick review: MyTouch 3G
  Looks like he’s not enamored with the myTouch.
• T-Mobile launches iPhone challenger
  Has a lot to offer but still too early to tell.
• T-Mobile myTouch 3G
  4.5 stars from this tech heavy reviewer is stellar.

Dojo Info 6/4/09

1. Pre-E3 09: Lego Rock Band makes me want to keep playing
   I might as well order it now and be done with it… here’s the trailer…
2. Google Wave has developers buzzing
   ‘Wave’ is quite the ambitious undertaking, if I’m reading things correctly. But if anyone can pull off the “make complex tasks simple” formula, Google can.
3. Palm Pre – Review on CNET
   As close to an iPhone as one can get with a non-Apple product.
4. Cover-up: CBS bans eligibility billboards
   Good ole fashioned censorship. Nice.
5. Barack Hussein Obama: US “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world”
   Are his supporters starting to see his true agenda?

Dojo Info 5/14/09

1. Losing your footing and finding the ground
   Where do you turn when it looks like everything is coming crashing down around you? There’s only one person bigger than it all.
2. Can a Palm Pre multitask better than an iPhone?
   Always on the lookout for the next iPhone killer; especially if it came to T-Mobile.
3. The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act
   U.S. Senate (§ 909) that would not only criminalize free speech but provide elevated protection to pedophiles. Contact your Representatives to vote “No!” on this outrageous legislation.
4. “Super Reefs” Fend Off Climate Change, Study Says
   I’m certainly no scientist but isn’t pretty much everything on the planet cyclical? Things go up, things go down. To a certain extent, it’s arrogant for humans to even think what they do affects our gigantic Earth in any significant way.
5. Sellers in Louisville Raffle Home for Mission Work
   Raffle their house? In this market? It just might happen, especially when you’ve got The Man Upstairs on your team.

Dojo Info 4/25/09

1. A very courageous Miss California
   Carrie Prejean said what she believed and for that, the homosexual lobby has exploded with true hate speech. Turn this around and the media would be calling for the judge’s head.
2. Will Verizon get the next iPhone?
   The good stuff gets around.
3. Ashton outmaneuvers CNN to 1 million on Twitter
   How cool is this? Not because I like Ashton Kutcher but because CNN is a shell of it’s former self. Every day that goes by more people understand that CNN’s goal is not to report the news, but instead to report the news that makes their liberal friends in politics and entertainment look good.
4. the white pebble
   “Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations: To him that conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white pebble, and upon the pebble a new name written which no one knows except the one receiving it.” Revelation 2:17 Interesting take by Hugh.
5. Rondo taking over for the Big Three
   He’s stepped up, bigtime!

Dojo Info 3/30/09

1. Study Says Playing Shooters Improves Vision
   That’s why I play them. ;^)
2. Pearl Jam’s “Ten” DLC arrives just in time to play along with Matt Cameron
   There are some good tunes on that album. Heh, I said album. Kids today are like… “Whaaaa?”
3. President Obama’s Final Four revealed
   If I’m going to criticize the President for things I don’t like, it’s only fair to compliment him on the positives. I really like how he’s not not taking sides and honestly filling out his NCAA bracket. He’s bucking the politically correct stance of staying above the fray. If only he’d show some restraint with the government’s new mega-spending mindset.
4. Skype for iPhone: It’s official
   Doesn’t it seem like AT&T would be fighting this? Every day that goes by makes me want to get an iPhone. And I call myself a geek… sheesh…
5. Twitter still has no business model, and that’s OK
   Is our world upside down or what?

Dojo Info 2/8/09

1. Medical Mystery: The Baby Who Wouldn’t Grow
   This is crazy. The human body is so complex that even with all we know we still are routinely baffled.
2. iPhone satisfaction not guaranteed
   In summary: Shop the plan not the device. AT&T is still not up to Verizon’s level of network performance. Also, the BlackBerry Storm doesn’t have WiFi and no one knows why.
3. Hulu: We’re evil, and proud of it
   Very funny ad. Not sure what to make of the service just yet.
4. Millionaire Patriot Wants YOU Armed and Trained!
   Maybe it’s about time I bought a handgun.
5. Auditorium
   Beautiful, online, musical, addicting and frustrating puzzle-game.
