One of my hobbies

So it's been quite awhile since I blogged and dammit Doodi and Dsmooth changed the blog interface so now I am trying to figure out how to "correctly" (non url) include images and links. Please bear with me if my blog avatar erroneously populates the blog banner more than the acceptable one time. Yes, I am directly addressing all you thumbs down blog fairies.

Next generation Gaming Rig

This spring in anticipation of aquiring an XBox 360 I began researching and assembling the pieces of my next generation gaming rig. I previously played on a nice Sony Triniton 27" SDTV. The first addition to the rig was the aquisition of a 5.1 Surround sound system in January. Not having a home theater reciever I was looking for a stand alone unit and came across some excellent reviews for the XBox branded Spherex 5.1 System. Once finalizing my decision on this system I began researching vendors for it and the lowest price I found was Amazon @$380 + $50 shipping.

Death and Ressurection of an XBox

So last night I was in the mood to play some Halo2 on Old Man Mafia clan night. I know as radical and unbelieving as it sounds I actually WANTED to play Halo2 and not COD2 last night (several members of my clans jaws have just hit their keyboards :) ) ;; ;; So I switch over my network and 5.1 cables from my 360 to my newly skinned Xbox hit the power button walk away for a minute to get a frosty adult beverage and come back to the XBox main menu....strange because I swore my Halo2 disc was in there. ;; No problem pop open the tray...oh it is in there?!

How to be the coolest kid at the next LAN

If you are an XBox 360 owner the one thing you notice very quickly about the system is that its plain white (or beige for you more artistic folks), and can easily be mistaken for some non-descript techno gadget. ;; Not the awesome gaming/media center that it is. ;; Ms and third party venders offer additional faceplates for $20 to help you customize your 360, but the top and bottom are still white (or beige).

This rant sponsered by the IRS and Turbo Tax

Oh yes it is that lovely time of the year again where we must all subject ourselves to one of the two life guarentees.  Im actually quite fortunate in that I probably have the simplest possible tax scenerio around; single, no dependents, one source of income.  An H&R Block agents wet dream!  20-30 minutes work for whatever the hell they are charging these days.  Which is precisely why I prepare my own taxes.  For 3 years I have used Turbo Tax with no difficulties.  Last year I encountered an automatic updating issue that I was able to resolve in ~30 min through their online tech support.

Whiners Disease

Recentlly reading Webmonkes post about TiDs has prompted me to write about another rare and more fatal disorder: Whiners Disease (WD).

A friend of mine suffers greatly from this affliction. Whats truly sad is that he is the person that got me into Halo and online gaming, but I can no longer tolerate his rants and have subsequently had to remove him from my friends list.

Since he nuptuals a year ago he only gets to play online occasionally and his skill level has dramatically dropped off. Considering that he was only a decent player at best; he really sucks
