I remember back a few years ago now, when Bump Top had just been released for Windows and it was a huge hit! People were ranting and raving over this little program. Some people didn’t know how such a simple, yet complex, idea could make such an impact for every type of user. I never actually downloaded Bump Top for Windows, because I already had a large monitor and I didn’t see the need for it, I just figured it was going to use up more resources in the background and slow down my computer, but now that I have a 13″ Unibody MacBook, I see the need and Bump Top was here to fill it!

BumpTop basically takes all the features you already have with your desktop and combines them together with its own little twist to each. Most programs that try to do this, or something similar, usually fail miserably, but I have to give Bump Top props, because I couldn’t find anything that I would change that hasn’t already been done. To list a few of the features, Bump Top makes icon selection much easier and more precise, it offers the ability to stack icons, as well as group icons in many different designs.

Bump Tops main eye catcher is the 3D desktop environment it has to offer. You can have up to 5 different desktop wallpapers and to put it simply, you have 5 separate desktops all conveniently woven into one. I’m sure at this point, if you haven’t looked at the program, you are extremely confused as to what this all means. Well, if that’s the case, check out the video above and look for yourself as I capture my first reactions to all that BumpTop has to offer!

Overall, BumpTop is extremely user-friendly and easy to pick up and start using. It has lots of features included in the free version and I think they even put too many features in the free version, because I don’t even see the need to upgrade to the full version due to the access to so many tweaks and tools included. Bump Top is a must have for anyone with a laptop, but for a desktop, I don’t really see the need, but it definitely helps with organization and even does it with some style, so for you desktop users, the choice is yours, but I would recommend you give it a shot no matter what kind of computer you’re using.

Acer 23″ Monitor (Unboxing)

One thing I’ve been wanting for quite a while now is another 23″ monitor to go along with my 23″ Hannspree monitor I received for my birthday a couple years back and I can now proudly announce that this wish has come true!

BUY ACER 22″ MONITOR

Firstly, I want to start off and ask the question, how many of you geeks out there have dual monitors? Or maybe more than two, but how many use at least two monitors for their computer?

Ok, with that answered, lets get started, I’ve wanted dual monitors for years and years, I have always been intrigued with how it works and have always wanted to hook them up for my desktop. Now that I have two 23″ monitors, there’s just one small problem. I need to get a video card with two video outputs, because right now I only have one, so I’m currently just using one monitor for my desktop and the other for my PS3.

That really has nothing to do with the unboxing, but it’s related content because there’s not much to say about an unboxing anyway. Also, I wanted to quickly ask how many of you think you wouldn’t be able to stand having two monitors that weren’t the exact same size and model? I didn’t think I could stand that and I’m still not sure if I will be able to, I guess we will find out when I get that video card and hook them both up to the PC, because for right now, I’m not using them together as one, they’re being used on two separate systems.

That’s it for the unboxing, keep checking back for the full review, I can’t guarantee when that will be released, but it will come out eventually. I have a lot more unboxings from Christmas to release to you guys and then I have to put out the full reviews for all of those products as well, so I have my hands full, but don’t worry I’m working on it!

I filmed this unboxing on Christmas Day 2009, my Dad surprised our family with the Samsung 40″ LCD TV for us all.

So here’s the unboxing, this is not a review, it is only an unboxing, I will be putting up a full review later, so keep checking back for that!

Sorry I got this up a little later than Christmas, but I wanted to spread out all the unboxings from Christmas so you guys would have one or two a week instead of a bunch all in one day.

Fighting Movie Review

Fighting, the movie, was released on April 24, 2009.

I haven’t done a whole lot of movie reviews, so I don’t really have a set format of specific points that I’m going to go over in this review, but I’ll try to keep it fairly organized.

So, the first part I think I should go over is the basic storyline. The main character is a guy living on the streets of New York City who’s name is Shawn. He basically makes his money from street vending until one day he got robbed which led to him getting involved with an underground fight agent who recruited Shawn into the business. As the movie continues, Shawn has to work to make a name for himself in the underground street fighting world of New York City.

Now as many of you know, I’m a pretty big UFC fan and that’s the main reason why I even bothered to go watch this movie. Even though the fighting was pretty well done, realistically there were a lot of major flaws. If you’re a fan of UFC, wrestling, or almost any form of martial arts you will most likely be disappointed from this point of view, as was I. This being said, Fighting was also right on the money during some points of the movie, so you won’t be completely annoyed.

Fighting 2009 Movie

As far as the rating of this movie, I thought there was going to be a lot more foul language and sexuality, but to my surprise, there was only one “scene” and although there were quite a few foul words, they weren’t always audible enough for you to pick up. There are quite a few scenes shot in a club environment, but there was very minimal sexuality shown in that environment.

Fighting tries to be comical at times, but it’s more of a modern day fairy tale as Shawn has to fight his way up the ranks to get revenge on a childhood rival and eventually rides off into the sunset with the girl of his dreams, her daughter, one-million dollars, and the one who roped Shawn into the fighting world to begin with.

Overall, Fighting was well done, I enjoyed it even with the flaws mentioned. I think if you’re just looking to fill up 2 hours, this will do the job and maybe even give you some excitement along the way.

BUY UNIBODY MACBOOK PRO

Everything Mac Unboxing

I’ve finally purchased my first Mac! It’s the new Unibody Macbook Pro and I’m loving everything about it!

BUY APPLE WIRELESS MIGHTY MOUSE

BUY BLACK INCASE NEOPRENE SLEEVE

I’ve been wanting to switch over to the Mac Os X Platform for years, but I didn’t have the money or the motivation. Now that I’m going away for most of the summer, I needed a laptop and I decided to make the big buy!

I decided to purchase my 13″ Unibody Macbook Pro from Craigslist because purchasing a new Macbook was slightly out of my range. This turned out to be a bonus, as Apple’s Mighty Mouse and Incase’s Black Incase came included with my purchase. I will have separate reviews for each of these products later on.

I must say, for the first time owning a Mac, it’s not too hard to get used to, and the multitouch trackpad is just amazing! The trackpad should have been invented years ago, it is by far the easiest trackpad to pick up.

As far as I’m concerned, this is the best purchase I could have made and am extremely happy I bought it!

Check back later for my full reviews on everything included with my 13″ Unibody Macbook Pro!
