Lindsey’s Surprise Birthday Party

Lindsey’s birthday is tomorrow (Monday, June 29th), but I threw her birthday party yesterday (Saturday, June 27th).  The party was a surprise, and went off fairly well.  I took Lindsey out to run some errands, and left her copy of the house key under the mat for one of my friends.  They came by, let everyone in, put the cake in the freezer, and waited for our return, where they yelled “...[Read More]

Episode 23 Recap

The MehCast was missed for a couple of weeks because of life issues, but we came back last night and had a blast!  We unfortunately had to talk about the deaths of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson.  We discussed our brand new kitten, Moogle, the Iran protests, Lindsey’s birthday (coming up on Monday! don’t forget to say Happy Birthday!), iPhone 3.0 software, and a bunch ...[Read More]

Episode 22 Recap

Holy crap, we forgot a recap for Episode 22!  Episode 22 saw heavy E3 coverage, as well as the death of David Carradine.  There was a lot of movie news, a bit of tv/music news, and the announcement of a new game from Midway, MORAL KOMBAT! Our weekly picks: Song of the Week (Chris): The Beatles – Helter Skelter Song of the Week (Lindsey): Sir Mix-A-Lot – Put ‘Em On The Glass TV Sh...[Read More]

MehCast

Holy crap, we skipped two weeks of shows!  We tried, but just weren’t able to get it right the last two weeks.  Third time’s the charm, though, and we WILL be broadcasting tonight at 7:00pm PST (10:00pm EST).  Check us out at http://www.justin.tv/worldofmeh/.  We’ve really missed doing the show for the last two weeks, and we’re really looking forward to getting back on the ...[Read More]

Michael Jackson, In Memoriam

There are very few people in the world who do not recognize the name “Michael Jackson”.  He has made a monumental mark on our cultural landscape; one that will not soon be forgotten.  In a career spanning 49 years, starting with his brothers in the Jackson 5 and on to his inimitable solo career, Michael Jackson has received 13 Grammy Awards, spawned 13 number one singles (more than any...[Read More]

Iranian Election

The last week has seen a veritable flood of support on Twitter for the Iranian presidential election protests occurring in Iran.  In brief, the incumbent president, Ahmadinejad defeated his opponent, Mousavi, by a very large margin (63% to 33%).  Many people have claimed that the election was rigged, and that the process was corrupt, sparking large and heated protests in Tehran, the capitol of Ira...[Read More]

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Countdown

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, a film adaptation of the book with the same title, will appear in theaters in 28 days!  If you haven’t seen the first five movies, but plan on seeing this one, then please, I beg of you, watch the first five movies before going to the sixth.  If you haven’t read the books, then you need the first five movies to provide a great deal of back story ...[Read More]

MehCast Update

We are very sorry that Episode 23 was put off last week!  Lindsey had a last minute work event to attend, and it just isn’t the same without both of us there.  It doesn’t feel right to us to do it alone.  Throw on a busy weekend with a new pet, and the show just got left behind.  Coming up this week (June 19th), we have our one year engagement anniversary on Friday, so we will not be b...[Read More]

The Adventures of AT&T and Apple: Mystery of the Assholes and the First Generation iPhone

I own a first generation iPhone.  I don’t qualify for an upgrade price until October of 2010, so I will continue to own a first generation iPhone for quite a while, I believe.  I have, generally, had no problems with my phone, and have held it very close to my heart since my wife bought it for me in February of 2008.  My love for my phone hasn’t diminished. My love for Apple and AT&...[Read More]

TweetDeck for the iPhone

Yesterday evening, TweetDeck was released into the Apple App Store for download on the iPhone.  The iPhone TweetDeck application is available free of charge.  The interface is very similar to that of the full PC version of TweetDeck.  The column system remains, and is reminiscent of the iPhone’s Safari page switching style, in that the columns do not take the entire screen, but are slightly ...[Read More]

#iPhoneRumors

With all of the rumors flying about new iPhone technologies, I decided to try my hardest to dilute the impact of these rumors by introducing my very own rumors on Twitter.  My rumors, however, will have absolutely no factual basis, and will most likely never come to fruition.  Why not join me?  Have some fun creating rumors and frustrating fanboys!  Start your rumor with the #iPhoneRumors tag, fol...[Read More]

Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 14

Progress Update 14 starts me off with another postcard from Luigi, claiming to have found another star in an early level!  I remember the area as part of the first time I encountered the Bee Mario mushroom, so I headed over to the Honeyhive Galaxy for an easy star and a ridiculous number of star bits!  I decided at this point to try the Trial Galaxies opened up by the Green Sling Star I had restor...[Read More]
