Need For Speed Underground App Review


This here is the Need For Speed Underground Application Review. This app is $4.99 in the app store. I rate it 5/5 stars for the quality of this racing game. I believe this is the best racing app that you can buy. That’s just my opinion. Has amazing graphics as well for this device. Great game all around. Enjoy!



1st place solo competition!

You will notice a serious of two solo’s played by me, (Steven Johnson/Tech Johnson) The first piece is called Beulah composed Ray Steadman-Allen which was also known as the Test piece. The second piece is technically a Euphonium solo but I played it on Trombone. It’s called, Journey Into Piece composed by William Himes.
I hope you enjoy the solo’s even though they aren’t the greatest.



Xbox 360 Mod

I have seen so many different paint jobs and modifications for the Xbox 360 done by people that I felt the need to try and make my own and make it unique.  I chose Metallic Silver and Blue flames to get the job the done.  Just a bit of warning, if you plan on doing this for your Xbox, it WILL void your warranty.



Windows Live Writer

Have you ever had to go to wordpress to write a blog?  I’m sure you have had to do that.  I have been lately trying to figure out how to make a blog post with out actually going to the site and I have finally figured out a way to do that for free.  With Windows Live Writer, you can manage all your blogs and create new ones from a desktop application.  It’s actually very simple to set up and very great to have.  I suggest that you go try it out and tell me what you think!



Bowling Evolution

Golden Bowling Evolution StrikeI don’t know about you folks, but I’m a huge bowler and love it to no extent. It’s like my portable computer that I wish I had, but me being active with it. Did that make any sense? Well sad to say it, I go bowling about 3 or 4 times a week with leagues and practice. So I’m always thinking about bowling and always wanting to bowl. It’s a huge passion. If I’m not physically bowling, I try to find cool bowling games online to play but have yet to REALLY find one I like until now! This game is called Bowling Evolution. It’s so life like in many ways. The pin reactions are almost identical to the way it would be in real life. Not only do I love this game that way, I love it because you can customize it to the way you would like. You can make your own default alley, put in your own balls and make them react the way you want them to, make your own customizable pins, and even put in your own oil pattern. You change all this through the Program Files and it’s actually quite simple. If you are looking to download this game to try out for yourself, go here: http://bowlingevolution.com/download-bowling.php
If you enjoy the game and want to learn how to do all customizable things to the alley, go here: http://bowlingevolution.com/forum

Now, what do you think about this game? Do you like it or dislike it?



Destroy Twitter

Destroy TwitterLately, I have been trying to find a great Twitter Client for my computer so I don’t have to go to http://twitter.com to update my status.   I have been searching and searching for great applications, but couldn’t find one that fit my style.  I’ve tried just about everyone that there is for Windows XP and for awhile, I was using TweetDeck.   I used that service because I couldn’t find another program that showed my Replies, Messages, and Main Tweets in different columns at the same time.  It was really the UI that I love looking at as well.  The only issue with TweetDeck is that it uses so many resources to stay running constantly in the background.  So again, I went on the look for another service.  I was asked to test out a program called DestroyTwitter and for awhile, I didn’t like it.  It had a lot of bugs, but sense they did a huge update on it, I’m using it again and I must say, I LOVE it.  It doesn’t use many resources on your RAM at all so it doesn’t bog down your PC.  You can do all the features of TweetDeck, but then much more.   Instead of just reading this, how come you try it out.  You can download it over at:  http://destroytwitter.com



Skype for iPhone Reaches 1,000,000 Downloads

Skype for iPodFor those of you who do not know what Skype is, it’s just like AIM but more based around live Video/Audio conferences. I’m sure each and every one of you that have an iPhone and a Skype account have been trying to find an application for Skype. Developers have made little ones here and there but never really an official application that you can get. After months and months of waiting, developers finally came out with an official iPhone application called, “Skype” Yes, it’s simply called “Skype” The great thing about this application is that you can do audio conferences with people on your lists, along with chatting on the application, and get this, it’s totally free! Well this application has only been out for about 6 days or so and is a huge hit in the app store on iTunes. With in the first two days of release, the applications met one million downloads naming this application the “Fastest and Most downloaded app in the shortest amount of time sense release” While this app becomes ever more popular, the developers are going to have to make updates left and right to keep it user friendly.

Now with this being said, AT&T tried putting out a new terms of service as to putting a usage on the amount of video you stream. This means you can only watch so many YouTube videos and do so much with in applications that require a lot of download. While this rumor has leaked out over the internet, AT&T got numerous complaints saying this is totally unfair to the people that pay for data usage and especially for the people that pay for unlimited data usage. AT&T took this into consideration and erased all possibilities of this coming out so the AT&T terms stay the same for all iPhone users!
