The iSomething Announcement!
Because, You Know, Why Not?
Yup. I'll be live-blogging, hopefully based off a super-secret UStream feed like last time or, at the very least, from the 47 different websites I will be watching for coverage. Because that's just how I get down.
Want!
The full spectrum of power rings from Green Lantern made of PVC with LED lights to make 'em light up? Yes, please! They'll be available in July, and you can check 'em out here.
Genesis On My iPhone? Yes, Please!
Sega is releasing an official Genesis emulator for the iPhone either today or sometime in February (depending on which report you believe). It'll be free and come with Space Harrier II... A game I don't remember even a little bit... But will have in-app downloads of Sonic The Hedgehog for $5.99, Golden Axe for $4.99, and Eco The Dolphin and Shining Force for $2.99 each.
I'm currently nerding out over the idea of playing Sonic on my iPhone... Let's just hope it's better than Super Monkey Ball was, amirite?

Apple Event? Game On
Everyone in the tech blogging community has received an invite to the January 27th Apple event that is expected to introduce the Apple Tablet, iPhone OS 4.0, and maybe some new iLife/iWork awesomeness.
Added bonus? It happens on my day off! Score!
As most blogs are noting, the use of ink splatters and the word "creation" would imply that the Apple tablet would be more bent on creating content than necessarily delivering it, which would be a bit of a departure from the current concepts floating around, which basically claim the so-called iSlate (worst name since 'MacBook Air' and 'MobileMe') would be a super-swank iPhone/eReader hybrid, which I know would sell insanely well but would also be rather underwhelming. At least it would be for me... then again, when the MacBook Air was being bandied about, was hoping for a super-light computer that also made waffles, so maybe my expectations from MacDaddy Steve Jobs are a tad high.
Anyway, as the event happens on my day off (again: score!), you can expect to see my reactions to the announcement here, as if you really give a crap, and then you can expect me to go through my usual Apple announcement cycle: 1. Shock and amazement, 2. Decrying the announcement as the most overhyped thing ever, 3. Seeing the thing in real life and deciding that it isn't so bad, 4. Becoming willing to sell a kidney to have one, 5. Buying one, even though there are much better ways for me to spend my cash.
Jimmy Kimmel Is Kinda My Hero This Morning
You know, I never really dug Jimmy Kimmel. However, after his appearance on The Jay Leno Show last night, I may have to rethink my stance. You can check out the video of it at Gawker. Awesome, awesome stuff.
When Hitler Doesn’t Like You, There’s An Issue
In case you can't tell, I'm on #teamconan. I haven't found Leno funny since... I dunno... ever. And while I found Conan a little lacking on The Tonight Show, ever since he knows he's on his way out and doesn't really have to win over the midwest, he seems to be back in his old weirdness, which I appreciate.

Suits: The Musical
Last night was How I Met Your Mother's 100th episode. To celebrate, they had a musical number featuring NPH. Between this, a super-awesome episode of Chuck and seeing Sherlock Holmes, yesterday was a win for me... But this was clearly the winner of the day.
Enjoy.
