A couple of announcements about tomorrow's date of January 11th, 2011 - probably not as epic as November 11, but all of those ones seems special enough (remember when Omen 666 came out on June 6th, 2006?)
iDAY (aka 1/11/11): VERIZON IPHONE
First up is the biggest news: Verizon will announce that it will have the iPhone on 1/11/11 at 11am in New York. This is a long time coming. I've had terrible experience with AT&T's cellular data for the iPad (sometime it works, sometime it doesn't, it just seems unreliable).
What I would love is to get a contract-free iPhone that can be on any network. Right now, the latest iPod Touch is pretty close to what I'm looking for, but it's still missing some key features such as the cellular radio and in-built GPS and digital compass.
UNO POR UN DOLAR
Speaking of iPhone, the card game, Uno, turns forty and its Apple iPhone game will be sold for one dollar tomorrow. It's normally $4.99, so it's a good deal.
DC ONLINE... GOES ONLINE
This online game has been delayed again and again... but it will finally see the light of day tomorrow. I don't know what all the excitement is about, I'm certainly not interested in buying a game and then paying for each month that I play the game. Besides, DC Online has one giant gorilla in the house: World of Warcraft. There's just no room for two subscription games in this space.
I am curious how the game will work out, seeing that it's mostly written by one of my favorite comic book writer, Marv Wolfman and art direction from one of my favorite comic artist, Jim Lee...
PIZZA WARS
If you "like" PizzaSlut Hut on 1/11/11, they will be giving away 1,111 pizzas. Kind of a lame contest, but people love free stuff, so it'll probably be wildly popular.
Its rival Papa John is offering two pizzas for $11.11... too bad in keeping with the theme, it's 1 topping.
BOOK OF FACES
Speaking of "like", that Facebook movie comes out on Bluray and DVD tomorrow. I have only seen the first half of the movie, but I get the feeling I know what happens in the end. I have a hard time believing that Mark Zuckie is that witty in RL.
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
There's a couple of albums being released tomorrow, including Cake's Showroom of Compassion and one of my (new) favorite band, Cage the Elephant's Thank You Happy Birthday.
These bigger bands don't exactly want to give away free music, so instead, I thought I'd mention Ursula Rucker's She Said.
Her album comes out tomorrow on Noizeyboy Records, here's an excerpt of what the press release:

Her album comes out tomorrow on Noizeyboy Records, here's an excerpt of what the press release:
As a poet and performance artist, Ursula Rucker has enchanted critics and fans across the globe with her diverse repertoire, captivating vocals and accessible poetic verse. On January 11th, she returns with a new album, She Said, an organic live studio album further showcasing Ursula’s diverse and complex artistry across many styles.
Her new and forthcoming album, She Said, is the 5th solo album, and is executive produced by Anthony Tidd, of Noizetrip, for Noizeyboy Records. This is Ursula’s first recording to feature a live in the studio session and focuses on Ursula’s well honed skill and prowess as an improv performance vocalist.
Ursula Rucker believes that art and poetry are catalysts for change. Her mission and calling is to heal herself, the planet, and its people through her art. While she sees the world as her community, she pays particular attention to the world of women, indigenous/diasporic people, and sufferers of injustice. Her poetry tells the stories of struggle, love, womanhood, peace, anger, injustice, and spirituality. As an artist who has performed in many continents, countries, classrooms, and community centers, Ursula sees herself as an ambassador of culture, socio-political issues, truth, and love.
