Tim Spinosi and Tony Hawk
Yesterday at Oak Mountain State Park. Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom HuckJam arrived at the Verizon Wireless Music Center. While I’m unsure as to the turn out. I am sure that my buddy Tim Spinosi was there and he got to meet Tony Hawk.
You see back in the day. 5 Guys wrote a script for a cartoon called Skate Rats. It was about a bunch of well, skate boarding rats. It was geared towards kids but had enough laughs and pop culture references to keep the older set interested as well. Tim always said that he would put it in Tony Hawk’s hands and yesterday he was true to his word.
Will anything more come of it? One never knows.

iPhone 3G Reviews from Walt Mossberg, Ed Baig and David Pogue
The boys at gizmodo have put together a summation of 3G iPhone reviews from Walt Mossberg of the WSJ and All Things D, Ed Baig from USA Today and David Pogue from the NYTimes.
The first iPhone 3G reviews have just hit, from Walt Mossberg of the WSJ and All Things D, Ed Baig from USA Today and David Pogue from the NYTimes. No one goes deep into the app store but here’s what they think:
Walt Mossberg of the WSJ has been testing it “for a couple of weeks” and sees that surfing on the faster 3G is between three and five times the speed of the original iPhone. However, Moss found that browsing on the 3G network drained his battery much faster than browsing on the original. Externally, he says the speaker was “much louder” (YES!) for both music and speakerphone, but otherwise pretty much the same as the original. One bug/feature he ran into was that you can only sync your calendar and contacts with either Exchange or your personal accounts, not both.
