SAY NO! TO TOURS DE SPORT!

JOIN THE CAMPAIGN!



HELP SAVE SEAN!

I just wanted you know that I'm still on your side Sean. Even though I have my own selfish reasons to want Tours De Sport is disappear. The biggest of those reasons being the lack of you in the chatroom last night.

Hopefully things will have calmed down by tonight and you'll be able to log on. If that doesn't happen I'll have to start a new campaign.. The "Threaten 'Laptop Guy' Campaign!"

Sakaguchi will help next gen Xbox.

Sakaguchi, a miracle maker for both Nintendo Co. and Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. is now hired by Microsoft Corp. to help the next-generation Xbox (Xbox Next or Xbox 2 as it is called at the moment) with its games.

By taking Hironobu Sakaguchi, a top Japanese video game developer, away from Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft might be able to gain a piece of the market when it comes to more fantasy like games such as popular game: Final Fantasy (which has been developed by Sakaguchi).

Microsoft will hire Saka. to develop two role-playing games which will only see the Xbox platform.

While Microsoft has only sold a quarter (20 million) of Sony's Playstation 2 consoles (80 million). Sony is very dependant on games such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Which might cause an increase for the U.S. console compared to the Japanese makers. "

This is really huge news. For every 5 people here in the US who don't know this guy there are 50 in Japan who do. He's a legend in the gaming business.

The reason I care is because I want to see the Xbox platform prosper in Japan. So far it's been the toughest nut to crack. Most Japanese gamers and developers want console gaming to be exclusive to their country. So putting a man such as Sakaguchi in charge of content development at Microsoft Gaming Studios will bring legitimacy to our beloved US console.

I can't wait to see how his ideas unfold on Xbox Next. I love the Final Fantasy series of games. I still doubt we'll get a game with the "Final Fantasy" moniker attached to it however. I'm almost certain that's a trademark of SquareSoft which Sony has a tight grip on. What we will see are Final Fantasy calibur games on Xbox. I can't wait.

Work Work Work

A new beginning, in a brand new store. What more could a simple cashier ask for? We got brand new cash registers, with scanners and large print screens. The Newest available for us. They rock!! I can't forget the sliding automatic doors. They are very sensitive right now, though. They open if a candybar falls in front of them. But they are still awesome. We are working three to a shift at the moment, which is a very smart idea. I hope they keep it that way. They are contemplating a third shift, and they have asked me if i would be interested. That is $1 more in pay, which would be awesome too. But the down-side is third shift is when I see you guys, so I am thinking long and hard about it. To work, or not to work....That is the question! I will figure it out in time. Oh, and now I am in charge of the new Esspresso machine. They call me the coffee Conesuir(unknown spelling) and I have yet to figure it all out, lol. I will in time. While I am at it, I will be hopped up on caffiene all the time, testing my skills with the machine. That ought to be interesting!

Upgrade!

Earlier today my sister called me. I asked her if she was back online yet and she told me no. Then she said that she wanted SBC Yahoo! DSL like I've got and that she wasn't going to sign up for anything else until she got it. After she said that I told her I would check the prices to see if she could qualify for the Free Modem and Activation. I went to the SBC Yahoo! DSL promotion site..

When I got there the page had changed a little from when I signed up in November. Their DSL package tiers were different. Instead of the four tiered system they had before there were only two tiers:

Up to 1.5Mbps = $26.95/month

Up to 3.0Mbps = $39.95/month

So I kind of freaked out for a minute.. I was locked into a 12 month contract paying $26.95/month for speeds up to 384kbps. This didn't really seem fair. Especially since they didn't notify me of this new promotion.

For people who don't know, 1.5Mbps = 1464.8 kbps

That's more than THREE times faster than my current speed, almost four times, and all for the same price I'm paying now. What a travesty! I couldn't just sit on that information. I acted immediately after my sister was done jabbering.

I called SBC. Found the Billing Department from the menu system and told them that we should be getting the 1.5Mbps deal. The lady on the other end agreed and started setting it up.

There was only one small catch. I had to extend the 12 month contract. Which isn't a big deal since we'd only had this current promotion for about 3 months. Our current contract will end March 2nd and the new one will start the same day. We will not be charged an early disconnection fee as a result of the termination of our November contract.

I'm pretty excited. Sometime within the next week or so my Internet connection will become up to 1080.8kbps faster. There won't be a streaming music or movie station safe from my wrath for a long time to come.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy..

I was doing my daily route through the Blogosphere this morning and came across something that actually got me excited. You know, the way a little kid gets all giddy when they announce a new Harry Potter film.. I haven't felt like this in a long, long time.

It was a post to the Google Blogoscoped blog about the new "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" movie. If you haven't read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy before you've most likely heard of it. It's a hilarious book series and a best seller which is still in print today.

To show you how large of a phenomenon the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is I want you to click this link.

Search: Hitchhiker's Guide Galaxy @ Google.com

That search gave me roughly 309,000 hits. Now there are two more things that you really should look at. Trust me. You'll want to see this!

WASHINGTON -- A pair of NASA scientists told a group of space officials at a private meeting here Sunday that they have found strong evidence that life may exist today on Mars, hidden away in caves and sustained by pockets of water.



The scientists, Carol Stoker and Larry Lemke of NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, told the group that they have submitted their findings to the journal Nature for publication in May, and their paper currently is being peer reviewed.



What Stoker and Lemke have found, according to several attendees of the private meeting, is not direct proof of life on Mars, but methane signatures and other signs of possible biological activity remarkably similar to those recently discovered in caves here on Earth
