By Jimmy Rogers Contributing Writer, [GAS] Far be it for me to suggest anyone read anything offline, but if one were were to do so, I would definitely have to suggest Neal Stephenson’s newest creation: Anathem. Just from the title it sounds imposing. In a way it is, because it’s a tome of 900-plus pages. That being said, [...]
By Jimmy Rogers Contributing Writer, [GAS] If you love podcasts as much as I do, you’re probably already familiar with Ask A Ninja. The Ninja’s helpful tips on how to survive everything from college life to meeting women always work really well for me. Or rather they would if those tips didn’t result in one or more [...]

In fact, they recently demonstrated their mysteriousness by releasing Google Chrome with about one day’s notice to the internet at large. Instead of stirring up hype or even accidentally leaking any [...]
In the 60s & 70s, he shared the stage with the greatest names in the blues: Muddy, Wolf, and Jimmy Rogers among them. Today Bill Lupkin continues to pay tribute to the masters with his own distinct voice on the follow-up to the 2006 critically-acclaimed release, Where I Come From. Lupkin's new effort, Hard Pill to Swallow, is the proper prescription for all blues fans suffering from blues scene lethargy....

By Jimmy Rogers Contributing Writer, [GAS] Our own Mark O’Neill clued me in to this little gem. The Register is reporting that the iPhone may not be as secure as once thought. While the new “enterprise” features are supposedly state of the art, there is an easy hack available to bypass one of the security features in [...]
By Jimmy Rogers Contributing Writer, [GAS] This is possibly the most frightening thing I’ve ever seen. I mean sure she’s got skill, but I’m honestly a little unsettled by the fact that other countries will see this too. Talk about reinforcing stereotypes. Anyway, here’s the clip: This just blows me away. Though not in the way that gun [...]
By Jimmy Rogers Contributing Writer, [GAS] Where Anchorman left off, Goodnight Burbank picks right back up and keeps rolling. In the show, a bunch of ornery, crazy, and sometimes lovable news anchors try to keep it all together while just barely reporting the news.
