I have been waiting anxiously to be able to review this for you guys and gals for the past week or so. This is by far the coolest thing I have ever received to review for you my friends. Thanks to Miranda for getting this to me.

Good news is, if you are in Canada, today is the official launch of The Flip Video Family to the Great White North! You can buy the Flip Video's at WalMart's now and in Futureshop stores in mid June!

First of all, a Summary of the Flip Video. I did this as a Geek Gadgets Review for This Week in Geek. This was recorded on the Flip Video Ultra, as well as edited using the built in Software.

For those who listen to This Week in Geek you may know already that Mike, Pierce, Stefan, Jordan, and myself have been doing reviews of DVDs, Video Games, and Geek Gadgets since last summer.

Well, I thought I would give it a go on my own with my own reviews of software, hardware, and other geeky gadgets I can get my hands on.

This review is going to be for NewsGator's now free RSS Reader, NetNewsWire

Was surfing my RSS feeds today and I came across this awesome story from Wired.com's GeekDad Blog.

I've always found RPG Card Games fascinating. I don't play them that often, only because I don't have a lot of local friends who play them. The only card games that I have played are Munchkins and Super Munckin(which I actually own). However, with that being said, games like Magic The Gathering wildly available, I love it when I see new variants of a genre. Especially from a 14 Year Old.

According to Wired.com:

The game is based on a 121-card deck of chemical elements, compounds and catalysts. Every card has an explanation of the element or compound's uses and chemical properties. For example, the Oxygen card can rust neighboring metal cards and the Copper Conductor card can shock any metals. The oxidation state of an element is used as its attack power, and its physical state determines its movement on the board. The goal of the game is to reduce the opponents electrons to zero through strategic use of each card's chemical properties.

Now this is a genius idea. It only took a $500 grant to make this happen, and then wowed attendees at an entrepreneur's convention.

Not only does this make chemistry fun, it's educational. I always find educational games to be really boring, but this takes it to a whole new level.

Where can I get me a set of these?! I want to rule the world with C3H80!

As always I remain, obediently yours.

Wow, I have been a veteran Internet user for some time now, and I have never seen a revolution like this.

For those not in the know that code that is in my lovely title is not just some random combination of letters and numbers.  That would be dumb.  That is the encryption key for several HD-DVD's that are in the market right now!  You can, if you have an HD-DVD player, hack these little suckers and that's the code that will deactivate the copyright AACS encryption.  Which the MPAA is trying to take down.  I don't think it's going to work now.
