So I am only a few years late to the game, but I finally got an Xbox 360 today. Ordered it from Amazon with GTA IV, but the game itself is taking longer to ship. I set it up, did updates, created ID, then realized I needed to setup an ID in LIVE. Setup LIVE [...]

GTA IV made me do it.
So I have a birthday coming up and I don’t have a next-gen console. I own a Dreamcast, PS2, and PSP and my household also has an NES, SNES, and N64. My couple-year-old HDTV is aching for some more HD goodness and I must do what my electronic devices ‘want’. The TV talking to me [...]
HRC (barely) wins Indiana DEM primary
Obama (BARELY) loses Indiana… 51% to 49% 637,389 HRC, 615,370 Obama, difference only 22,019 votes. And they both get about the same number of delegates.
Indiana DEM Primary 2008
My original plan was to vote early, but that didn’t happen. I simply rode my bike over to get a newspaper to see if I could learn something about the non-pres primary folks. So the Herald-Times for today and yesterday were just useless. I don’t think they really understand what you should do with a [...]
Trancers: crap-tacular sci-fi
From the makers of “Puppet Master” comes a movie that is even worse. The acting is horrible, stunts laughable, effects cheesy, and acting abismal. If that if your cup of tea, rent “Trancers”. I had not seen it until today and man do I wish I had not, but at least I now have the [...]
Facial Hair: O what time changes
Looking into the mirror after a fresh hair clip and shave today, I couldn’t help but think back (wavy lines) In high-school I was a bit down about my lack of facial hair. Unfortunately, this was one of the few things in life my ‘wishing’ worked. I now have facial hair everywhere on the sphere [...]
BBC should extend license fees to N America
It would make so much sense for the BBC to offer streaming television (IPTV) in N America. With the launch of the BBC iPlayer, we know the technology is already there. The BBC has a huge opportunity to make gigantic audience inroads. Potentially, they would be able to sell N America the same programming without having to operate any physical terrestrial broadcast equipment. Yes, they would most likely need to locate some additional server in the Americas, but the probable cost/viewer ration dropping for IP only TV, it should be a way to subsidize British TV using overseas funds. From best I can tell the annual fee for “residents of the UK pay £116.00 a year for a color TV license”. I think the biggest obstacle would be existing BBC America deals with cable and satellite. Come on BBC! I want your content (Sky too) but I don’t want nor need US cable or satellite money grubbers in the middle. Isn’t it 2008?
