Please excuse me for Monday’s unexpected postponement of the Superheroine Battle Royale! There was a wardrobe malfunction – busted seams and everything. Not pretty. Actually, it was really pretty, but moving on … :-P

The match-up was epic, but as you can already tell – we’ve crowned us a winner!

Miss Quinn, Miss Quinn, do you have any comment for your fans?

‘Hehehe Never go against me or my baby, Mista Jay. That gun-toting walking bra needed a lesson that powerful things come in little packages – just like me and my explosives! Kablooie!’

… is what she would say if I were writing her dialogue :-) Thank you all so much for playing with me and distracting me from the monotony of the real March Madness. It might be sacrilege to some of you, but I really don’t ‘do’ basketball.

Anyway, let’s move on! Here’s a peek at what’s going on today:

--My love affair with all things G4 hasn’t come to an end yet: AOTS host Olivia Munn is branching out while keeping those roots firmly planted in her Leia gold bikini. PS – She posed for Playboy? Really? Huh.

--My non-love affair with iPad hasn’t moved either: Looks like it’s another Apple hit, but techies are holding back. Oh, and are you having connectivity issues with yours? The fix is here.

--Not if you gave me a free ticket and a multi-million dollar life insurance plan. No.

--Ohmigosh, my nerdy-editor little heart just skipped a beat – but don’t worry, Scrabble really isn’t changing its rules. Breathe.

-Sister of mine, I found this iPad story for you. And, I mean it in the most non-snarky way possible. We only learn through being showed the facts, right?

--Only read this story on Facebook if you’re secure enough in your own browsing rationale. Otherwise, it could feel like a bucket of ice water tossed directly into your nice warm bed.


... On Friday, I’ve got a review of GelaSkins: the vinyl covers for all your best gadgets. Sneak peek: They are beautiful, but functional as protection? Umm… See you then!

This week’s Byte-Sized sweet spot is one most of you already know – Facebook.com.

OK, I know. I’m sorry for being the last person on planet Earth to figure out that this site is pretty f***ing cool – like a sour lemon drop you just can’t get enough of. After resisting every social networking site since the rise of MySpace (which I still think is a silly high school popularity contest not worth my time), I was pulled kicking, screaming and rolling my eyes to my computer chair and forcibly given an account by a friend. Well, to that friend, I want to say thank you, even if it is begrudgingly.

This site can and will make you late for meetings and bleary-eyed with exhaustion, but, best of all, it is also totally laid back and doesn’t have to be something you update 20 times a day and obsess over like an immature bopper looking for validation.

That’s where the appeal is for me – you sign up, do your thing and, voila, the site does the hard stuff – like updating your friends on your current news and keeping you in tune with their goings-on – like whether they plan on attending this weekend’s play or if they are going to skip it and head for the movies. It really can work with minimal effort. It’s added applications are hard to find, but they only add to your enjoyment once you do.

Facebook has been in the news recently for the scandalous Scrabulous lawsuit and, as of yesterday, pulled the application off its site in favor of name-brand game Scrabble, at which I am totally awesome. Go ahead, challenge me.

Anyway, if you’ve decided that now is the time, after years of ridiculing and mistrusting social networking sites (like I did), Facebook.com is the one that I suggest you try out.

There, I’ve said it. Sigh.
