The customer WAS always right...
There was a time... maybe more so in the generation before us... regardless, there was a time when service was defined by the simple phrase "the customer is always right". In the days of my youth and even somewhat in my teen years, I can recall service that met the standard of "the customer is always right". People that went beyond expectation to ( Read more... ) -
Of Katamaris and Monopolys...
While there is no official word one way or another, it looks like Beautiful Katamari might not be destined for the Wii. After Namco dropped the PS3 version from development it was rumored that a Wii version might be under development but all official news points to an exclusivity agreement with Microsoft. This, to me, seems a little rediculus. 1 ( Read more... ) -
When it rains, it pours...
E3 info was nice to wii fans... suddenly I remember those 'other' reasons I wanted a Wii. Q4 2007 holds some pretty nice bounty, some are obvious must haves (like the DDR party game, and Smash Bros.) and others are a little on the edge (like the Bleach game that's finally hitting the US). The Wii done won the console war, now we get a ton of ( Read more... ) -
Official Wii Zapper better than prototype?
Well, they revealed the "real" wii zapper and it's hard to say if they made the right call or not. The new wii zapper is certainly more fitting for the control setup and allows access to ALL of the buttons on both controllers (wii-mote and nunchuk) instead of not using the nunchuk and having the second controller built in with only one button ( Read more... ) -
Got a degree and I know how to use it...
Apparently having a degree can be worth something if you just get the right people to notice.
Apparently my attempt to get some attention down at Are-See-Ehh-Ehh worked better than I could have expected. The plan was basically set in motion when our current Administrative Coordinator (Secretary) got a new job. The job description for her ( Read more... ) -
Refreshing, and it doesn't cost a dime...
You can eat to refresh your body, or relax around the house to refresh your mind. Hell, you can even sleep and refresh both. However, there are so few ways to refresh your soul... to get yourself some comfort points. Most of them require trips to fancy Hotel/Casinos, expensive meals, technological meccas, or sightseeing with grand natural ( Read more... ) -
Dr. Salvador you bag headed fiend...
The wii has been a real champ of a gaming system especially considering the small pool of games that it has as a super new system. Even so it's about standard for any console to take a year before the ball gets rolling. Of course the VC games available for download can keep a gamer occupied between releases which was a good call on Nintendo's ( Read more... ) -
The decline of 'splody (4th of July)
The 4th may have been kickin' this year, but the main allure of the holiday sure isn't the fireworks anymore. I've seen the gradual degradation in quality and duration of fireworks over the years... I can only hope that the curve dips no lower. The fountains don't fire as long as they used to or nearly as high, practically nothing explodes in any ( Read more... ) -
Delectables and High Seas Adventure...
Quite a memorable vacation I ended up having last weekend (06/29-07/01). Travel was, as it always is, exhausting... but it doesn't stop you from having a decent time. It all started with a polite invite from Sara's father through Sara that offered the hospitality of a House Boat located in the waters off Alameda. We set out on the adventure ( Read more... )
