Browsin' and Boozin': Drunk Shenanigan Websites You Don't Want to End Up On
Recently, a new kind of website has popped up: the drunken night aggregator (to keep yourself from being featured on the lush site du jour, do yourself a favor and refer to my tech guide for avoiding boozy situations).

Let Your iPhone Select Wine Pairings With iSommelier
I'm finally less shy about pulling my iPhone out when I'm eating dinner somewhere (of course, I do it very discreetly and quickly) — a girl's got things to do, like snapping a pic of the wine to remember one you liked.

Eidos Pulls Out All the Stops For Batman Arkham Asylum
Although I haven't had a chance to dive into the full release version of Batman: Arkham Asylum since it landed in my mailbox on Monday, I did get a taste of the action while at E3. From the 15 minute demo that I witnessed, I can tell you that the game is kinda creepy, but totally awesome. .
Have You Ever Twittered TMI and Regretted It Later?
I've already screamed from the rooftops how public of a place the Twittersphere is, and I've even warned you not to go overboard with personal info and intimate details
