widely unknown marketing extraordinaire

4 out of 5 stars for Dr. Dre’s Monster iBeat headphones. Besides the sleek design and the “b” on the outside of the ear piece, beats has sold me on sound quality. Bass pounds and vocals still remain clear. Being quite rare in comparison to other manufactures such as SkullCandy, Sony, and surprisingly Bose; home trails thanks to my local Best Buy. 1 star was left out which would have made these headphones perfect. The compatibility issue with my android smartphone restricts me to use the remote control on the speaker piece; hence the “i” before ibeats, restricting functionality to just iPhones, iPads, and iPods. Worth the $ and worth the $15 Black Tie Protection plan, because I’m constantly plugged in.

how appropriate…

After 12 years of using a ping hand-me-down putter, I decided to purchase one of the elite putters of the game today; the Ping Redwood ZB putter. The Redwood series are 100% milled throwback putters, thus making each hand-milled putter a unique addition to anyones bag.

The other newly joined club is the Callaway FT-9 Tour Driver. Each year I end up selling the 2 year old model then purchase last years; although I did want  the newly designed RAZR Hawk, yet price was an issue starting at $399. I look forward to the times spent on the course this year with my friends and family and perhaps these clubs will shave a few strokes along the way.

Keep’em straight this year!

Just recently started android application development. Seems to be quite complicated yet interesting. I was lucky enough to find a 50% off coupon for Barnes & Noble and was able to purchase my first dummy book. My rating is a 4 out 5 stars, leaving one star out for those who are not familiar with java coding; you’ll need another dummy book for that. All in all the book is quite informative with step-by-step app instructions & ways to throw them on the android market.
