Anybody who isn't interested in video games will want to skip this particular post :)

So why am I so pessimistic on Sony's new PS3? A myriad of reasons.

Reason #1: Cost
A full 60GB PS3 costs $600, whilst a 20GB costs $400, but the 20GB is also missing a few things, like an SD card reader and wireless net. And what hardcore gamer is gonna want a pussy ( Read more... )

Summary: I got hit by a car.

Details: I was crossing the street downtown Calgary at 4th AVE SW and Centre St when a blue SUV turned the corner into me. I got pushed forward a bit, it impacted at my hip, but I didn't fall over, I kept my balance. Afterwards, we exchanged information. Then I walked to the police station to file a police report (which ( Read more... )

I'm getting tired of the CTrain this week. I was late again this morning, thanks to a medical emergency this time. That makes five (5!!!!) times in the past four days that I have been delayed by 30 minutes or more on the CTrain. That's a little on the silly side.

So I won best costume at work for Hallowe'en. Once I figure out where I'm gonna store ( Read more... )

"Free speech zones"

I know that isn't new to the US. During Bush's inaugural drive to the White House after being "re-elected" they had "free speech zones" well away from the route. Come on Americans, can you tell me your country is truly a free country with a straight face?

Dear US Citizens:

Your country is now a police state in everything but name. Almost all of your freedoms have been removed by the president in power. You have no one to blame but yourselves for allowing your current leader steal not one, but two elections. You have no one to ( Read more... )

My DDR pad came in today! The boys downstairs must've signed for it, 'cause I wasn't home. But whee! It's so shiny...and metal...and accurate too (I played with it already :P)

But now din din with the male parental unit. Could be interesting, but more likely to be mundane. Better than dramatic.

Anyone, anyone, everyone who voted Bush through a second time, I shake my head at you. How could you be so blind as to put this man back into office? Goodbye civil liberties, hello police state. I don't understand how anyone can consider this particular law a good thing.

PS: And yes I ( Read more... )

Well, here I am. Another long period without posting. I'm currently at work, with nothing to do. I'm waiting on a co-worker to finish his stuff before I can finish mine. Otherwise, de nada. Which is weird, because we're supposed to be ramping up the workload. Ah well, as long as I get my stuff done, that's all that matters.

Been busy having a social ( Read more... )
