Imagine that I get back on my computer and right away I find my minimum three pieces of news required. I found out some interesting things that both sets up more predictions and confirms some past predictions.

It’s been forever since I posted something new, but I have a good reason for this. My HDD with Windows took a crap and I couldn’t find my Windows XP CD. So for 3 months I used my PS3 as my computer. What a living hell that was, but now that I found my XP [...]

I’m not going to ramble on today before I get to the meat of the blog. It’s early in the morning on 4th of July and I have cook-outs to go to.

I usually try to get one post up a month at the very least. There just hasn’t been any really great news worth commenting on lately.

Microsoft proved my point with Pinata……..in thier press conference they made it to point out that you could buy additional things for your pinata to enjoy through micropayments, but they did not address how much content will be [...]

This year we’ve seen the catch phrase “micropayment” thrown up by all three publishers. Sony, Microsoft, and to a lesser extent Nintendo. I know the mantra “If you don’t want it, don’t buy it.” That isn’t the point. The point isn’t whether or not I want it. It’s about what it means to us as [...]
