iPhone Rock Band - Jethro Tull Hymn 43
I was somewhat skeptical to try RockBand on the iPhone. I am a huge Rock Band fan of the XBOX 360 game and have 1,2 and Beatles Rockband. I decided to give it a shot as it was on sale over the weekend from $9.99 down to $6.99. I don't like to pay for apps, but all the reviews of RB were excellent. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I have tap tap revenge which is a RockBand like game and it in my opinion falls short. I played it once or twice and then it became an app that just takes up space on my screen. I really feel that this is a perfect opportunity for the music industry to make up some revenue in a failing business model. Music and game mashups are huge and will most likely continue to be huge - This game is a definite 4.5 star. I would give it 5 if there were more songs to choose from - I'm sure there will be soon...
Here I'm trying a Jethro Tull song on medium level - it's slightly blurry but you get the picture :)

Crazy New Fan - No Blades - Dyson's Blade-Free Wonder Fan

First Look: Dyson’s Blade-Free Wonder Fan Blows Our Minds
- By Daniel Dumas

- 7:48 pm |
- Categories: Accessories and Peripherals, Household, Reviews and First Looks
James Dyson has a fetish for making unusual products: everything from vacuums that suck (in a good way) to hand dryers that blow (also in a good way), each use a clever combo of eye-catching design along with innovative methods of compressing and dispensing air. But even we in the Lab weren’t prepared for the WTF moment when we pulled Dyson’s blade-less Air Multiplier fan from its packaging.
The thing should not work. A gust of air should not be coming form this giant blue Froot Loop. But upon closer inspection, all that’s at work here is some clever engineering tricks. The unit is essentially one of Dyson’s vacuum cleaners working in reverse. The gray base station sucks up air and forces it through the circular blue thing that sits atop the rig. When the air jets through the front of the circle, it creates a suction behind and to the sides that draws more air through the loop and makes the fan more powerful. Dyson claims the Multiplier increases pressure15-fold and spews 118 gallons of air every minute. To get a better idea of how it works, checkout this bullshit artist rendering:
The fan’s operation is really quite amazing. Not only is it eye catching — everyone at the Wired office today was slack jawed by its striking build and apparent miraculous tempest — but the thing runs quiet too. There’s virtually no operating noise aside from the light hum of the engine and whoosh of the blowing gas. And it’s especially safe for worrisome parents who fret about junior getting his precious digits mangled by a high RPM spinning plastic blade.
The only thing we don’t like about the fan? (Aside from the ridiculously high price tag.) There’s no emulating Darth Vader’s voice with this thing. I mean, how would it work in a Tommy Boy remake?
The Air Multiplier will go on sale on this fall and will cost $300 - $330.

The Outcome of The Trial
Below is the article announcing the outcome of the trial of Dennis Schwendiman for giving GHB to my brother Stephen (pictured below with my daughter Mya) and then lying to the grand jury about it. While this will not bring Stephen back, it has helped my parents to cope knowing that because Dennis was involved and he lied to the police and everyone about the whole situation, some justice will be served. I just went to the article and there are a lot of comments in support of this decision and some against.
This February will be six years since Stephen passed away. We miss him everyday.
Man guilty of perjury in GHB case
By: Gary Weckselblatt
The Intelligencer
When it was all over, after the jury had announced its verdict, Dave Zellis walked from the prosecutor's table to the back of the courtroom and leaned over the railing to speak with Jon and Tobi Krueger.
Hopefully he took a deep breath, because Tobi Krueger gave him a strong hug.
"I've been waiting five years for this," she said.
She was referring to the jury's guilty verdict in Bucks County Court Friday for Dennis Schwendiman on three of four charges in the drug-induced death of Stephen Krueger.
A former county resident now living in Elmont, N.Y., Schwendiman, 36, faces seven years in prison for perjury, a felony, and two misdemeanor counts of false swearing. He was found not guilty for delivery of a controlled substance.
"Dennis isn't getting what he should be getting, but he is being held responsible," said Tobi Krueger, who wanted to thank the jury for their efforts.
Jon Krueger said Schwendiman "could try to lie to the grand jury and to police, but he knows what he did. He's going to have plenty of time to think about it now."
On Feb. 23, 2004, Schwendiman admitted giving Stephen Krueger, 22, a sports drink laced with gamma hydroxybutyric acid, known as "GHB" or "scoops" at the L.A. Fitness in Falls, where Krueger was employed.
GHB is an illegal depressant and intoxicant that has been used as a date rape drug and abused at all-night dance parties. The substance is also taken by weightlifters, who use it to help them sleep and recover quickly from a workout.
After Krueger became ill, Schwendiman drove him to the Middletown home of his mother, who was out of town. Schwendiman helped him to his mother's bed and then went out to eat with another L.A. Fitness employee.
Later that night, returning to his mother's home, Schwendiman said he tried to wake Krueger up but his "eyes kept rolling back" and he had vomited in the bed.
He took him downstairs but "he had very little leg to him."
Rather than call 911, Schwendiman drove Krueger to Frankford Hospital. During the trial he testified that he told emergency room personnel at Frankford Hospital that Krueger had consumed GHB. But when Zellis asked him to read the hospital's report on Krueger, it didn't mention the drug.
"And you know that would be the first thing they'd put down," Zellis said.
David H. Knight, Schwendiman's attorney, said his client "certainly could have prevented the death if he operated more responsibly. He has been over this a million times, and knows he should have taken him out of L.A. Fitness right to the hospital."
Knight said he couldn't "quibble" with the jury's verdict. "I am very pleased with the fact he was acquitted of the delivery charge. For perjury, he will face some consequences."
Zellis, Bucks County's First Assistant District Attorney, said Schwendiman lied to "save himself from any criminal responsibility in Stephen Krueger's death. Now he faces a felony conviction and jail time for his lies."
Schwendiman, Zellis said, had a "cavalier, arrogant demeanor throughout this whole investigation."
The conviction, he said, "reinforces the fact that if you're called to testify (to a grand jury) you better tell the truth or we're going to go after you for perjury."
For Jon and Tobi Krueger, who silently sat side-by-side during the three-day trial, the jury's verdict will bring them a measure of peace.
And while "February has been a bad month" since their son's death five years ago, Jon Krueger said, this February will bring the promise of a bright future when their daughter Heather Bostwick is scheduled to give birth to twins.

PhillyBurbs.com: Case goes to jury in overdose death
This was my brother Stephen...
Below is the article in today's Bucks County Courier Times about the trial currently going on in Doyelstown.
Case goes to jury in overdose death
By: GARY WECKSELBLATT
Bucks County Courier Times
A former Bucks County man is accused of lacing a friend's drink with GHB, the date rape drug.
Dennis Schwendiman is either falsely accused by authorities looking to lock someone up for the death of another man or he's someone that provided a lethal drug to his victim and then lied to the grand jury to cover it up.
That's what 12 men and women from Bucks County must decipher as they deliberate the fate of Schwendiman following closing arguments Thursday.
An ex-county resident now living in Elmont, N.Y., Schwendiman, 36, is charged with supplying a drug-laced drink to Stephen Krueger, a former co-worker at LA Fitness in Falls, in 2004. He faces up to 16 years in prison for delivery of a controlled substance, perjury and two counts of false swearing.
The drug that killed the 22-year-old Krueger was gamma hydroxybutyric acid, known as "GHB" or "scoops."
GHB is an illegal depressant and intoxicant that has been used as a date rape drug and abused at all-night dance parties. The substance is also taken by weightlifters, who use it to help them sleep well and recover quickly from a workout.
Bucks County First Assistant District Attorney David Zellis argued that there are significant discrepancies between what Schwendiman told police in an interview shortly after Krueger's death and testimony he gave at a grand jury hearing in 2006.
Testimony from Falls Detective Cpl. John Martin and a re-reading of Schwendiman's 2006 testimony indicates he gave different accounts of how much he knew about GHB at the time of Krueger's death, among other discrepancies.
Eight witnesses testified Thursday. Several said events from five years ago were difficult to recall, and both attorneys read their grand jury testimony.
"This is about consciousness of guilt," Zellis said. "He knows what he did. He knows he gave Stephen Krueger the deadly bottle + and he doesn't want to be held liable.
"Stephen trusted him. He didn't know what was in it, and drank it."
In addition, Schwendiman testified Thursday that he told emergency room personnel at Frankford Hospital that Krueger had consumed the drug. But when Zellis asked him to read the hospital's report on Krueger, it didn't mention GHB.

"And you know that would be the first thing they'd put down," Zellis said.
David H. Knight, Schwendiman's attorney, said he felt bad for Krueger family members, who were in the courtroom, but told the jury that there's a lack of evidence and "you cannot point to this young man and say he's guilty."
A key issue is whether the GHB that killed Krueger came from his own drink or one supplied him by Schwendiman.
Pamela Wright of Langhorne, a former LA Fitness employee and now a Philadelphia school teacher, testified that on the night of Krueger's death, Feb. 23, 2004, she had asked Schwendiman for a "sip" from a Gatorade bottle she said he was holding.
He told her no, but later overheard him tell Krueger "try this, you'll like it." When Krueger asked, "What's in it?" Schwendiman said "trust me, take a sip."
Knight claimed Wright was distracted because she was talking on her cell phone and saying good night to people as she was leaving the club after her shift.
Schwendiman said it was Krueger who asked him, "Hey, you want some?"
Later that night, after Krueger became ill at the club, Schwendiman grabbed his bag at the front desk and told Scott Hewitson, another employee, that "Steve's not feeling well. + He said he has taken G. He also said he had told him not to take that much."
Another gym employee, Andrea Carabillo of Bensalem, who went out to eat with Schwendiman that evening, said he told her, "I gave him GHB. + I told him to sip it."
She also said Schwendiman said he could get her some. She declined. On the witness stand, Schwendiman said he was joking.
The jury deliberated for about two hours Thursday and is expected back in Judge Jeffrey L. Finley's courtroom at 9:30 this morning.

Eagles Flight Night
Gretchen got us tickets to take the kids to the first annual Philadelphia Eagles Flight Night. It's basically a practice in full uniform at The Linc with special prizes, fireworks, etc. We ate dinner at Chickie and Petes first then headed over. The kids were pretty tired by the end, but it was a great time.

Classic Arcade Game - "Space Ace" for iPhone
Remember the arcade games at a "real arcade?" Paying $.25 for a game of pinball or Centipede, or Joust? I used to love the game "Dragon's Lair" which was animated by Disney cartoonist Don Bluth. It was one of the first games that cost $.50 then a whole DOLLAR! After Dragon's Lair came Space Ace another Don Bluth game. Well - I just found it the other day as a downloadable app for my iPhone for $4.99 and it is AWESOME! I don't pay for many apps, but this I could not resist.
Space Ace is exactly like the old arcade game except you have to tap the arrows and button on the screen instead of moving the joystick and tapping physical buttons. It's amazing what they can fit onto a phone now considering this game and Dragon's Lair used to run off of a laser disc.
They haven't come out with Dragon's Lair yet for the iPhone but I hope they do as that was a great game. I remember losing a lot of quarters and making no real progress in the arcade with these games.

Beach Videos with the new Iphone 3GS
So I have been playing a bit with my new iPhone 3GS's video function and it is pretty cool. I love that you can immediately upload your videos to YouTube as soon as you are done shooting. While the in camera edit is crude, it serves its purpose by allowing you to trim off pieces of the video you don't need.
Here are a couple of quick ones from the beach yesterday:

Sirius iPhone App = FAIL
I cannot express how disappointed I am with the Sirius iPhone application. I've waited months for the realease of this application after Sirius and Apple killed the Nicemac app. I have been a Sirius customer for almost 3 years now and have been relatively happy with Sattelite radio as a whole. The only reason I got Sirius in the first place is because of Howard Stern. The app was release last Friday and guess what? No Howard Stern....Are you serious Sirius?? While the app itself is slick and workls nicely, the omission of Stern makes it almost worthless with free internet radio like Pandora and Slacker. Why would I pay for this when I can get a better selection for free? I pay because of the exclusive content of Howard. I called customer service this evening to voice my complaints and waited on hold for 36 minutes before I was able to speak with a supervisor. Unreal. I pay for 2 radios and internet radio and I am very close to cancelling. Without Howard or when he retires I will certainly cancel. This is exaclty what I told the supervisor who was sympathetic, but she blamed Apple completely for not having Stern on the app. She told me that Apple will not allow that type of content on their application. I'm not sure what to believe. I have been using Pocket Tunes for the past 3 months listening to Howard on the iphone and while the app is not as slick for Sirius as the Sirius iPhone app itself, it does the trick and you are able to listen to Sirius and Howard on it. I hope that someone at Sirius is smart enough to resolve this issue. This app could have boosted Sirius's stocks and saved a business that is being eaten by free internet radio. But instead the app is getting terrible reviews from users who are pissed that Howard isn't on it.
