Shane Goes to SXSW

SXSWi

  As the saying goes, I’m as giddy as a schoolgirl. For the first time, I’m attending South By Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) and have been ready since August of 2011, when I purchased my ticket and reserved my hotel room. Luckily I’m not going alone, along with me will be some fellow geeks: Will McCain, Morgan Copeland and Chip Oglesby. We’re going to be as prepared as we can be for the 5 days full [...]

A New Year, A New Shane

New Years

Another year gone, another year of unachieved resolutions. Every year since i’ve been old enough to care about making a list of resolutions, I have. And with out fail, those resolutions slip into nothingness and are forgotten about. It’s not because the resolutions were too hard, unattainable or anything like that. It’s because I was too lazy to care about keeping them, plain and simple. This time i’ve decided to go at it in a different way, [...]

Movie Review: Friends With Benefits

Friends With Benefits

I know it has been a while since my last post and movie review. But, I couldn’t resist doing a post about this movie. It had me crying and i’m not talking tears of sadness, i’m talking tears of pure hardcore laughage. I rented this on a whim from Redbox expecting it to not be that good and for it to be sappy, man was I wrong, for the most part. Of course the movie [...]

Where has the soul gone?

Music

Let me start off by saying i’ll be referencing the movie Idiocracy some in this post and like usual, language wont be held back . If you haven’t seen Idiocracy, then do so and you’ll understand better. But to give a little insight into the movie: They discover that the world has degenerated into a dystopia where advertising, commercialism, and cultural anti-intellectualism run rampant and dysgenic pressure has resulted in a uniformly stupid human society [...]

What I Think Google+ Should Do:
Be Like Gowalla.

Google+ and Gowalla

For those of you reading this that don’t know what Gowalla is then you’re missing out. Gowalla is a social check-in based service similar to Foursquare, but better. I wont get into much detail about Gowalla here since this post isn’t just about how much Gowalla is better than Foursquare. You can find out more info about Gowalla on your own here. A while ago Gowalla released a major update to its mobile apps (both [...]

Review: Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon

Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon via Google Images

Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon was…. awesome. That’s right. It was slow at times near the beginning but the epic battles that came later on more than enough made up for it. You must see it in a theater because movies like this just wont seem the same watching it on your home television. The sheer detail that we’re able to create using computer rendering is amazing. I only wish that I could of [...]

Review: Bad Teacher

Bad Teacher

As this is my first official movie review on my blog, i’d like to lay down my perspective for you. I don’t like the “official” movie reviews that are out there. Why you ask? Because they’re all bullshit (ok, some are decent). It seems that a lot of the people that do these movie reviews have forgotten one of the biggest things about going to see a movie: actually watching it. They’re all caught up [...]

This is a semi-EPIC moment for me.

Stank Eye

Yes, that’s right. If you have known me for a while or followed me on Twitter for a while then you would of noticed that the last website I had for myself was crap, you know, the one  you would of made in college. And because it was crap, I took it down so that no one else would be able to bask in its ultimate crappiness. But since then, i’ve grown into a much better [...]
