No, this isn’t a test post with the classic title of “hello world“, it’s in fact a highlight on one of my more recent side projects. As most of you regular readers know by now, I am the master of frequently busting sidejobs on a whim’. Some sizzle out into obscurity, while others soar to heights I never really imagined they would when the idea originally popped into my head.

I’ve had several general topic blogs in the past, and even one ezine for a short while, back in the day. Lately the itch to start another pop culture and social media (general content) ezine has been become too great not to scratch. I’ve rallied up a few friends and writer acquaintances to contribute content and have begun branding the new ezine as Hello World magazine/ezine. With several links already on Digg, Facebook, and Twitter, things are off to a good start.

Real World News, Reviews, Opinion

The basic structure of the site is up and running and a few interesting articles/posts are already up. Expect LOTS more from here on out! I’m trying to get several volunteers to help with contributing content.

Read one of the first movie reviews on the site.. a review of the new movie “Kick-Ass”

If you’re interested in contributing movie reviews, game reviews, entertainment news, tech news, business news, opinion pieces, social media commentary, social media news, or anything else you think would be cool to add to Hello World! email me, I’d love to hear from you. The plan is to get several other creative individuals on-board this project, the main perk being able to drive traffic to your website/blog/traffic and to gain exposure on the site as things build. If you’re looking for a big paycheck, or expect to be compensated in gold bullion, please look elsewhere.

So without further ado, the new Google phone has been unveiled to the public. All the information is available at Google’s official Google Phone page, http://www.google.com/phone. More detailed technical specs are available as well.

A Verizon option is not yet available, but the page states that it will be coming soon. I hope this means sooner than later. In the meantime, the phone is priced competitively at $529 with a Tmobile option of $179 with 2 year plan.

So, I guess Google has stuck it to the man. Can’t wait to get one!
