Sculpteo is a company that until today I had never heard of. They claim to be able to take two pictures, a frontal picture of your face and a profile shot, and create a 3D figurine of you. They offered us the chance to check it out and give one away to one of our readers.

If you don't want to wait, you can get a free keychain of your own design. I'll let you all know how it plays out and see if the figurine is an accurate depiction of me.

Keep updated for your chance to win!

I have a good friend who went to Rutgers and it seemed like he never had money issues. I could never figure out why this was-- he didn't have a job and his parents didn't give him much money. I one day asked him what he does in his free time and he said he went to Atlantic City often and played poker and blackjack.

This all made no sense to me until I realized that he brought his laptop to class to play online poker. Somehow, he often made over $1000 in a day and rarely lost more than a few hundred when he didn't win. Instead of the old fasioned idea of a college-aged student working to earn his money, he was making it online by gambling.

I wanted to make some money too, so I tried out Pokerstars. Unfortunately, I was too afraid to lose much so I only deposited $100.  Then I played a few games bouncing back and forth from $90 to $110 and cashed out at $110 thinking that a 10% profit was pretty good. I guess I'm not really the type of person to be doing this anyway and left the online gaming world forever.

You aren't only restricted to Poker anymore however.  You can now play pretty much any casino game at a casino online.  It's pretty neat how some people can make so much money doing this. It's sad too how you can now lose money at your own home. Still, the internet has changed the world in some interesting ways. Maybe it's partially responsible for the decline of Atlantic City and Las Vegas over the past decade.

Well, as you know CES was an incredible success for us. We all had a lot of fun. Because of this great success, we have a TON of stuff to review.

If you haven't noticed, we've switched to become more consistent. Our writers are now pumping out at least two stories a week now. This is better for both of us. It's fun to write but without a schedule, it's sometimes difficult to fit it into our lives. Now that we have committed time, we can make sure it all gets done and that our articles are useful and well written.

I am hoping that we can continue our series on the Internet that our PC writer David Boehm started. Rather than review after review, we can share our knowledge of technology with our readers too.

Another thing you might have noticed is the fact that we have a few new writers with us. Shane Chandler and Will Anderson have joined us as Video Game writers. They're both extremely talented and are very well versed in the field. I hope they can continue on with us for a long time since their articles are always a blast to read. Matt Torino is still with us writing his ever controversial stories and keeping us all entertained. Our video games section is headed by Jonathan Maltz, the new editor of the section. It's his great wisdom that keeps the section rolling smoothly and also helps me focus more on writing rather than management.

In our PCs section, we have David Boehm as the editor with some articles written be yours truly and a new writer to join us, Jerimiah Booream-Phelps. It's my hope that Jerimiah will also cover some Science too. David Liu is also joining us with a focus on mobile computing. He also has some knowledge of audio, so that should be a good help.

Now for what I have in store for you guys:
