2010 BMW 535i Gran Turismo Mini-Review

2010 BMW 535i Gran Turismo

Every so often a car comes around that leaves such an impression on the auto industry and the buying public that it changes the course of automobile design, perhaps even moving things in a whole new direction while still embracing timeless elements from the past. The BMW 535GT (Gran Turismo) is most definitely NOT that car. It was clear right from the beginning that BMW was hoping the GT would usher in a new era of the classic “estate car”, but in fact the GT has been anything but.  Not that it could have even come close with the 7-Series size and the looks that make you wonder “what were they thinking”. Ultimately the GT is a grand affair with subtle yet distinct lines, a huge pile of the latest BMW technologies, all combined into one of the hardest-to-like packages yet seen from the German automaker.

About That New Look & Why 2010 will Rock Tech

February 8, 2010 Commentary, General No Comments

Ok, I know. I have been neglecting this blog for far too long. But that’s all about to change starting right now with a whole new look for Daily Techno-Babble! The old look was sooo last decade and with so much having changed it was way past due for a complete redesign. So, in with the new, out with the old and I hope you all approve!

Now that we are looking to the future let’s talk about what 2010 holds for the world of tech. Well, there is this new gadget from Apple called the iPad, virtualization is still changing data centers everywhere and social media has (and still is) redefining where things are at with online services. All of these things are great but that’s not why I am personally excited about the upcoming year in technology. Nope. I see something else setting a new standard, and it only begins with devices like the iPad/iPhone and the upcoming Dell and Lenovo tablets. I call it “frictionless computing” and you are going to be hearing much more about it before 2010 is over. Trust me.

Ditching Cable TV Service – One Year Later

October 20, 2008

Let me just get right to the point and say that ditching the $75+ per month Cable TV service over one year ago and going solely with online video offerings was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Seriously. I don’t miss the crappy reality shows, nor do I miss the jamming of [...]

Roomba 530 Mini-Review

February 18, 2008

Yet Another Reason Why eBay Is A Total Joke

January 28, 2007

I can’t believe eBay is still in business considering the huge number of scams that seem to pervade the site like flies on you-know-what.
