Angry RV Salesman Gets His Own Documentary - Winnebago Man
Youtube made Winnebago Man famous to the world. He was that extremely angry RV salesman that just couldn’t get through his lines. A bad day for him, turned into internet gold.
A few guys decided to find out who this guy really was. They searched phonebooks, the internet, everything they could to find this guy. This movie is their story.

How to make a Back to the Future Auto-Tying Shoe
How to make a Back to the Future Auto-Tying Shoe
I remember first seeing Back to the Future Part II and thinking how awesome it’d be to live in 2015.
Sadly, we still haven’t gotten to the age of hoverboards, but what we do have access to right now are those slammin’ power laced Nike’s! - Instructions on how to make them

Dreams of a Pokemon MMO Might Come True
My dreams of a Pokemon MMO might actually come true- While WOW and other MMORPGs have been a huge success, there has never been one that all people alike could connect to. When Pokemon was popular in the 90s, everyone played it. The card game, tv show, and especially the gameboy game. It didn’t matter if you were a girl or guy, it was fun either way, and now it seems that Shigeru Miyamoto could take that step into the future.

Apple Employees point of view on the iPhone 4 Launch
There is a reason that Apple followers are sometimes seen as crazy- With the launch of the new iPhone 4, you can already expect people to go ballistic over the device. Lucky for me, I have 3 friends that work at the Apple store near me. Ours is located inside a mall which means our security didn’t allow people to line up until 5am the morning of the launch. You can only imagine the onslaught of people trying to get around this obstacle. This is their story…

Video - iPads on a film set
Video - iPads on a film set
Who knew that the iPad would make it to the film set. We never thought that the iPad would be robust enough to function as the main communication/referencing device on a film set, but I guess with 200,000 apps in the app store, there is enough to help out with whatever the film crew needs.

E3 - Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned Trailer
E3 - Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned Trailer
For some reason I actually decided to look at this trailer and I was surprised how awesome it looked, and I thought it finally seems like a good Pirates game will be released. I love the fact that it appears to be like Fable and that your choices affect how the game progresses.
More will be released on the game soon but the trailer looks very promising.

iPhone 4 pre-orderes overload Apple's servers!
Pre-ordering has begun for the iPhone 4 and it may be the end of the world as we know it - The madness over the new iPhone 4 has created so many problems already! Many people aren’t even able to pre-order the iPhone 4 because of connection failures and Apple has since stopped accepting pre-orderes over their new Apple Store App. AT&T has also run out of phones to buy on the launch day!
There have been hundreds of reports of iPhone pre-orderes not going through, but despite that, a good amount have been able to get confirmation early this morning, but for the rest of us, problems are still occurring. Not only is the problem occurring online, it’s happening within Apple stores themselves! Their servers are becoming so overloaded that hardly anything is getting through the tubes, and all of this on top of not being able to select the white iPhone (at first).
Apple still doesn’t know when the problem is going to be fixed but are working on it fast. Though Apple is having problems within it’s own stores, they recommend coming to a store if you cannot pre-order online.
AT&T has also released an official statement about selling out the pre-orderes today:
“Because of the incredible interest in iPhone 4, today was the busiest online sales day in AT&T history. As of Tuesday afternoon, customers who preorder iPhone 4 moving forward will receive their device on June 25 or later, depending on when the order is placed. We’ll email customers with confirmation once their order is placed, and again when it ships. In addition, we will have devices available on a first-come, first-serve basis in our stores beginning on June 24.”
