Looks like that 1 million dollar sports car from Italian car company, Pagani, gets delayed in it's release in the United States until at least 2013.  Concerns over child safety of the 700 horse powered Huayra has been the main culprit for the delay.

Dennis Rodman's Hall-of-Fame speech!

I was a huge Bulls' fan in the 90s.  It was a pretty heart felt moment to watch Dennis Rodman's Hall of Fame speech.  It was a speech with class unlike a certain G.O.A.T. from a couple years ago.  He thanked Phil Jackson and Chuck Daly.  It was a great moment for me as a Bulls' fan from the Jordan-Pippen-Rodman Era.  I remember being in high school and it used to be all about Michael Jordan and the Bulls.  I have one thing to say there will always be players who will play like Michael Jordan, but I don't think there will ever be another Dennis Rodman, the only player on the floor who can impact a game without even scoring a point! Congrats on the HOF D-Rod!


Rise of the Planet of the Apes Review!

I finally had the chance this weekend to catch up on this movie.  I've heard rave reviews for it from the media and some of my close friends who saw it before I did.  I would have to say this movie did the Planet of the Apes' franchise really well.  The main character Caesar(yes! Caesar the CGI monkey) really did steal the show in this movie.  It was the first time in a long time since I've actually cared to watch a movie with a non-talking main character.  Wall-E was the last character to do that for me.  James Franco, who played Will, also did a superb job, but the story really fades away from him towards the end and it soon just focuses on Caesar.  A lot of people said James Franco didn't really have a lot of screen time in this movie, but I felt he had just enough to make the story work plus the fans want to see the apes or else it'd be called "Rise of the Planet of the Men".  In the end, I thoroughly enjoyed the movies and I would recommend it even casual fans and not just fans of the franchise.  It was a much more enjoyable movie than the "Planet of the Apes" movie that released in 2001 that featured Mark Walhberg.  

Overall 8/10



Who wouldn't want to work at the new Apple Campus 2?

There has been reports of Apple's proposal to build this crazy ring-shaped office building code named "Apple Campus 2".  A 1000 seat auditorium, fitness center, and a 2.8 million sq ft research center are just some of the things that part of Apple's proposal for the building.
