With the Superbowl coming up this weekend, we all know that the football game is just one part of the spectacular. Companies are spending huge dollars for thirty seconds of time to get in front of millions and millions of eyes. The commercial that I think started it all, at least for me, was Apple‘s 1984 Macintosh commercial. It still rocks twenty some odd years later. What was the commercial that you remember most from Superbowl’s?

This weekend my girlfriend and I were scouring through every possible scenario of domain names trying to come up with one that made sense for what we were thinking about doing as well as trying to find one that of course was not taken. As usual, I just learn of this awesome resource today from Adage, but I have a feeling I will need to use the Instant Domain Search again. Check it out, it is very convenient when searching for available domain names.

Microsoft released many weeks ago their iPod killer the Zune. Now I want to say first that I have not tried nor handled the Zune yet, so I have no opinion on this monstrosity myself. Though Leo Laporte sure does have an opinion on it, he is not a big fan to say the very least. Take a look at his thoughts below. Also, what is up with the brown color? Is Microsoft trying to make brown the new cool color like Apple did for white?

Honda’s robot the Asimo was caught trying to get up some stairs and I am sorry to report that he just did not make it. Keep your chin up buddy, I have done the exact same thing many times.

What’s worse is that Wieden + Kennedy has just come out with a new commercial for Asimo and before you can say stairs there is already a spoof out on YouTube.

Time Magazine has chosen their best gadgets for 2006 and the one that stood out for me was The Hug Shirt. According to the developer, it is a shirt that simulates the embrace of a loved one.
