PSP Launch Review
This is a re-post from 16th December, 2004 – 20 years ago, when the PSP was launched. I’d stood in line for mine, played it once, and flipped it online rather than be stuck with – as you’ll see – a system I didn’t like much. I bought another one soon after, for reasons that […]

Car Stereo Hacking (again)
You might remember I hacked up the stereo in my car a while back (but you probably don’t). Long story short, my new-to-me Honda CR-V had a steering-wheel stereo control that used two wires to communicate with the stock head unit. The replacement Pioneer deck also used two wires, so I gutted the stock switch […]

Sony: Fucking Idiots
It’s been a long time since I felt this familiar anger, this boiling frustration with preposterous dumbassery that promises to make my life a little awesomer and much worse at the same time. But oh, Sony, you guys are fucking stupid.

Nothing to see here

Sony acknowledges PSP faults.. No, they don’t.
You might remember my recent harsh appraisal of Sony’s PSP. According to a GameSpot article the head of Sony Computer Entertainment, Ken Kutaragi, said only .6% of the PSPs sold have been returned, and that people complaining about the buttons are overreacting to intentional design choices. Which completely dodges the issue of defective units where […]

Sony’s PSP: Reviewed
So the PSP has launched and after a crazy adventure I managed to score one. Four days later the lineup for Nintendo DS units at my local Toys R Us was five times longer than the lineup for Sony’s PSP. A harbinger of the future perhaps? For all the fervent interest in the PSP it […]

The PStwo
Sony’s PStwo has finally been unveiled and it’s a stunner. Much smaller than I thought (and smaller than Spong thought), it turns out the system is really tiny. According to this Japanese page the system will launch in early October, and will be $149 (Y19,800). What’s really surprising, to me at least, is that it’ll […]
