New iPad running a bit warm?

There has been several reports about the 3rd generation iPad getting warm or even hot. Mostly while doing processor intensive tasks such as gaming. In my opinion I believe this is to be expected since more intensive use of the graphics and cpu units create more heat on just about any device. Even my iPod Touch (3rd generation) get warm (not hot) while playing games such as Battlefield Bad Company 2 (great game by the way) or watching long movies. So people shouldn't "freak-out" over the new iPad getting warm. Just don't go out in the summer time outside in 100 degree heat in direct sun trying to play on your iPad. Common sense people. Check out these articles below.

Google Glasses

These geeky but amazing 720P (so far) display on glasses is a big step forward.

"The front-facing camera will track hand and arm gestures and translate them into controls of the Android-based software environment."

Power outtage due to snow storm.

Well here in Virginia we had some snow (up to 6 inches or more in some spots) it is melting fast but last night around 10:00pm my power abruptly went out shutting my server down (hard shutdowns make me freak out). So the main website is down but this blog is hosted on blogger.com so this will be up. I am hogging my parents internet and updating via netbook. I won't have power till at the earliest Wed. 22. Oh well gotta ruff it. Will be fully operational as soon as possible!

Frightfest in Scotland and more dead news

Frightfest is taking place in Scotland as part of the Glasgow Film Festival programme. I love zombie movies, especially the typical apocalyptic zombie movies. I am a classics guy my favorite is "Day of The Dead-1985" which stars Joe Pilato as the order shouting to the point of making me laugh, not that its not a serious movie, his lines still make me chuckle and they mention him in the linked article below. I also like Dawn of the Dead (new and old) and similar others. I never get tired of zombie movies. Check out the article for more info below.

Twisted Metal PS3

Well I guess tonight is video game news night, might as well keep it rolling. Twisted Metal is one of my all time favorites that I have enjoyed since the PS1. The latest installment for the PS3 features over a dozen new and old characters, 2-4 player split screen and up to 16 online. Also if you pre-order with gamestop you get 30 days early access to Axel (Twisted Metal 2- man with wheels on the end of his arms and a shockwave special attack) and yes I used to play the hell out of the Twisted Metal series, this better be as good or better than Twisted Metal 2. I already got my pre-order in.
