Hello, I'm Mike Prasad.

Ever since Myspace sucked up all the cool kids in L.A. (@Percival, @TonyAdam, etc..) I had been wondering what kind of awesome they had been working on. Well today, the #NewMyspace Preview launched, and a few lucky people also received a preview box in the mail. The #NewMyspace is to be all about showcasing your creative life. See the unboxing pics below, and here’s hoping we have a viable competitor to the big FB.

I’m heading to Asia for Geeks On A Plane and needed an unlocked quad-band phone, AND since at {M} Consultancy we do biz dev and app configs with Mobile Roadie, I’ve needed an Android phone for testing apps. I looked at a few options, including the awesome HTC Incredible and Evo 4G, but aside from not being available before my trip, they are slated for non-GSM bands and therefore wouldn’t work as world phones. I ended up picking the Google Nexus One on T-Mobile bands, which seemed to have the most compatibility with the cities I’d be traveling to (Shanghai, Beijing, Singapore, Seoul and Tokyo for Geeks on a Plane then possibly London, Ibiza, and somewhere in Italy for a conference I’ll be speaking at in late June). The plan is to drop in local SIM cards and figure out a way to forward a U.S. Google Voice or Skype number to the Nexus One (more on whether this works in another post). Anyway, the package came in today, thanks to Google’s free overnight shipping, so here are some unboxing pics!

Oh day of all days! Steam is here on Mac at last!

Finally, gaming on the Mac. I got a hold of the DMG and installed that piece of shiny as fast as you could say “What? Mac isn’t a gaming platform!” Well, after testing this out, I would have to argue otherwise. Steam on Mac is here, and it’s awesome!

So I received a Sony Dash last week, which is Sony’s new “Personal Internet Viewer” a.k.a the geekiest and most awesome alarm clock EVER (well except for my space invaders alarm clock). Here are some unboxing photos. One cool feature is that it supports all the great Chumby apps, and since I’ve always wanted a Chumby, I figured I’d try it out. I’ll post a review later after I’ve used it for a bit.
