Vehicle Modes of Every G1 Autobot

As a child growing up in the 80's I used to think that the Transformers were some of the coolest things around since sliced bread.  My memories of that time may have been colored by nostalgia at times, but some of the vehicles that they transformed into were top notch to me even then.  I used to hope that my first vehicle would turn out to be a Transformer and get me involved in all kinds of secret stuff.  Flash forward to when I'm 16, and the realization that having a 1988 Suzuki Samurai be the transformed mode of an Autobot seems pretty lame.  Still, I can't help but go back to those times.  This little infographic brilliantly covers each Autobot and their vehicle modes.  Autobots, Roll Out!

HTC HD7

  For the past month I have had the delight of playing around with an HD7, courtesy of BzzAgent.  for those of you that don't know about BzzAgent, it's a word of mouth network for products and ideas to be passed around and discussed by agents.  I got the phone for free, and in return I am telling people about the phone.  The difference between what some might do, and what I am doing, is a warts and all approach.  I am coming from the Android platform, and the differences between the phone after a month are night and day.

Kingston and The Magical wonder of SSDs

There is a problem gripping the world of computing and the world of gaming, and it is one that I feel I finally need to address.  In the drive for bigger and better somehow a large compromise has been made, and it is one I feel finally needs addressing.  I own a laptop and will gladly put in 8GB of RAM, tweak every setting available, and run only the programs that I need.  I own a PS3 fat and slim, and keep a bit of music on there, but can't seem to get my download times to anything less than atrocious.  In my quest for efficiency there is an oversight.  I haven't made the most obvious upgrade...I haven't added an SSD. Some people question me on that fact because they know I am an avid supporter of technology, and especially brands that I believe in (see the title!).  The advantages far outweigh anything imaginable, but being the perpetual procrastinator that I am has reared it's ugly head yet again.
