Xbox Live's beta test of 1 vs 100 last night was an unmitigated success. Granted it WAS a beta test and a lot (a large number) of users have no real concept of what a beta test is. Yes it ended up being limited to about 50k users and the audio commentary from the Game Host was choppy or missing at times. However within the bounds of a beta test it was incredible. The game play itself was flawless

from the RNC newsletter and...this is why i've stopped listening to any broadcasts from after 1963. they just get my blood boiling.The uproar over $165 million in bonuses being dispensed to employees of AIG, the company receiving the largest amount of federal financial bailout funds, is another indictment of the rudderless Barack Obama White House.American taxpayers are rightly outraged. AIG has

Major Kudos to Nintendo. If only all companies ran their customer service like they do..My Wii broke last weekend, I shipped it off to them (from NJ to East Syracuse, NY) on monday. It arrived on tuesday. they fixed it by friday (with the repair facility being closed on thursday and 1/2 day on friday) and had it back in my hands by the following tuesday.This is amazing. Thank you Nintendo...

Boltyou need to see ityou want to see itThis is the best pixar flick since Toy Story.it is really amazing. It has everything you want. Tender moments that touch your heart, great life lessons (aggressive/mean people are usually hiding an inside that is hurting), faith and hope is what keeps us going.We all loved this movie

Being a parent can be tough. Today was one of the tough days. Thomas took a pretty nasty tumble on his bicycle. He got some road rash on his knee, collor bone (both sides), bruised and scratched his chin, lips, left cheek and his left forehead. He also loosened an already slightly loosened baby tooth.Poor guy...You always think I should have done this or that but we need to let these things

A legend has died.Don Ho - synonymous with all things Hawaiian has died at the age of 76. You might not think of me as a Don Ho fan but I was. I loved his music, but I never had a chance to see him perform live. My hope had been to see him whenever we finally get to go to the Islands but now that is done. So, grab your flowered shirt, your ukulele, and join me in a loving rendition of Tiny

OMIGOSH!!!I got notified today that I am a semi-finalist in a contest commemorating the 100th anniversary of Hershey, 100 Years of Happy. Last year after the regular season ended they announced this contest. They wanted people to send in their favourite memories of Hershey Park. Well, other than Disney World it is my absolute favourite park and being it is so close and a lot more affordable we

We went to the Devil's/Flyers game today. My father in-law got us great seats right on the ice just to the left of one goal. We spent 2 periods, one over time, and one shootout right near Brodeur. Needless to say they were awesome seats and a great first game for Thomas to attend. In the end, after a little doubt and excitement, the Devils won 4-3 in a shootout. Go Devils!

CSI:Miami - WHERE'S THE STORY????This show is getting really pathetic. The writing is really infantile. Even my cat would write better stories, and with more than a 4th grade level grasp of the English Language. They can't write a story, good or bad, that even last the advertisement abbreviated time frame they have. They have start throwing in many more screen cuts and flashy graphics, not to

Are we there yet?This year our family vacation was to Ocean City, Maryland. My wife, the eternal NJ girl, and me, the hapless wanderer stuck in this place known as NJ, have differing opinions on what a beach vacation is :). But as with everything else about our marriage God did a good thing putting us together. I can't stand the Jersey shore, not one specific thing but EVERYTHING. I grew up going

My visit to Bratislava is one half over now. It's been a long week that has gone quickly. Since I arrived a week ago today I have come really admire and appreciate the people in this country. They are hardworking, positive, and excited about the future. I really hope that bright promises of the future come to fruition for this former Soviet Union possession. The city is an interesting fusion of

Beware Allume Systems Spamcatcher 4.0!!!!I purchased this program on the recommendation of Consumer Reports. The very FIRST TIME they've let me down... I was VERY dissatisfied with the operation of this program, both in the SPEED (a MAJOR ISSUE) and quality. The interface is archaic and is VERY confusing to get working.

Well, contrary to the liberal press and all my friends who foolishly listen to them George Walker Bush is the American President for the next four years. This is great news for America, even if they don't know it. America will remain strong for the next four years, a force for good in the world where Evil threatens.

I need to handle it better. It's not like she can control all this. The really hardest part is having this tremendous thing happening to us is not being able to share it with Thomas yet. He's going to be

Well, we are pregnant. :) I can't believe it but we are gonna have a second child. We are in week 6 right now. Karen is pretty tired and fortunatly the morning/noon/evening/night sickness has not hit yet. Lord willing, it won't or atleast it won't as bad as last time. It's pretty scary, but we are relying on God to provide for this child. this has been a real step of Faith from day one. We

The Americans have made a mistake. The war plan failed. They moved too fast. The soldiers are starving. The Iraqi's will fight fiercely and American's will die. We didn't send enough troops in. We are sorely undermanned. The Iraqi army is strong and well seasoned. With all the above lies and negativity one wonders what the truth of the matter is when it comes to WMD's......
