Driving in to work this morning, I had the chance to listen to a rather interestin topic. Geek Squad, a subpart to Best Buy, is a company that you bringall your computer/technology problems to, and they will solve them. Or, they will come out to your location and help you solve them.

Just before the weekend a man (55) was apprehended in Norway, for allegedly (it's pretty stuck, but you know, he's not convicted yet) being the infamous "Pocket Man" (Lommemannen).

Final Fantasy XIII

When I was looking to buy my Wii, I knew I had a hard choice ahead of me. When it came down to the wire, I was going to have to choose between PS3 or Wii. More specifically, I was choosing between Zelda and Final Fantasy. Zelda finally won out. But, after seeing Final Fantasy XIII's trailer, I'm starting to think I made a poor choice. (not really, as my fiance LOVES the Wii) ((ok that didn't sound too good. shuddup))

In February of 2009, all television signals will be converted into digital signals in the US. This means, unless you have a digital television, your TV will no longer work.

So, within a year I either have to go out and buy a few digital cable converters or buy a few new televisions.

Very strange.

Growing up, almost every boy wants to be a King or Knight or Duke. Well, it just so happens that a Maryland Man got this dream when he was contacted by a British Geneologist saying he was the rightful King of the Isle of Man, a small british island between Ireland and Scotland. Long story short, he sent a letter to the Queen of England, and after 90 days without contest, she sent him a crown, a robe, and a spoon, along with the titleship of King of Man.

If I were the father of the fallen soldier, every single one of them would be shot in the head.

TORONTO - A Canadian health club is offering a new form of exercise for people bored with the treadmill or cycling classes — the Wii Workout Station.

Nintendo is also currently developing Wii Fit, a 2008 video game with an array of activities, from yoga to aerobics.

Lo and behold, fellow gamers. The Globe and Mail, Canada's national newspaper, had an article this morning that made me smile.

A healthy way to spend your summer? It sure is!
Better vision. Better social skills. Better brains. Better lots of things. Guy Dixon reports on why taking up video games - and, you know, becoming a skull-faced warlock whose job is to destroy the eggs of enemy bird monsters - may just be the smartest thing you'll ever do.

Read and learn, young padawan.

Barry Bonds broke the lifetime Home Run record a couple days ago. (/shrug, I didn't know about it until today...)

Anywho, the kid who caught the ball that broke the record is now being taxed by the IRS for the estimated value of the ball at $600,000, for a tax of $210,000. The thing is...the kid said he wasn't going to sell it right away. So now, this 21 year old college student, owes the IRS $210,000, without himself having made any money off of it.

I have been having the most incredibly boring week at work ever. There is literally nothing for me to do. I have read through the 100 or so 200-500 page documents pertaining to what I do twice, and I still reek of boredom. So, I have been spending an attrocious amount of time on this site, wow.net and somd.com, my local area forums (SOuthern maryland [MD]).
