In a recent story on MSN, a study shows that violent video games can lead to more aggressive preteens and teens.  Just the headline of the article indicates that video games are bad, as it includes "Warning:" at the beginning.  The article then goes on to discuss both sides of the debate, and states the EU (whoever the hell that is) is pushing to ban violent video games in Europe or at least create uniform laws to prevent the sales of such games t

Recently I've come to the sad realization that I play games way too much.  While it's been obvious for a long time, it's not something that Ive wanted to let myself admit to.  It's like finally coming to grips with your crack addiction or trying to pry your lips off of a bottle that has become entirely too comfortable in your hand.  And it wasn't family or friends that made me see the light, it was actually one single game that has eating away at me for over a year.  Not surprisingly, this game is World of Warcraft.

Just announced today was Apple's iPhone. I had recently been waiting to buy a video iPod until after Mac World to see what was announced, and I'm glad I did. I will now hold out for the sweetest phone on the planet. I'm a bit sad that it won't be out until June, but I don't really mind the wait. Gives me time to save up. If you haven't seen the phone (and the features), it's a must-see for any technology fan. I'll not spoil your fun by listing the specs here, but it's damn cool.

So, I've been MIA on the whole blogging thing for a while.  It's my first Christmas without my wife, which is just plain weird.  In November I went to OK and got my things.  Seeing my wife reinstated my feelings for her, but too much time has gone by, too much has changed for us both.  She has a lawyer working on divorce papers, so I guess I'll be seeing those sooner or later, and it'll be nice just to have some closure on an issue that I've been whining about for about 9 months or so.  I worry about her more than myself, and I just want her to be happy because she doesn't ever seem to be any
