My Pimpin Blackberry!

So I just found out that the last time I got a phone (my old EnV) they messed up and only put me on a one year contract...this was awesome news when I realized this weekend that I wanted to celebrate my new promotion with a new phone and I've been telling myself for the last year or so that when I got a new phone I would go all out and get a blackberry! Unfortunately, these phones cost like 4 or 500 dollars retail, on top of the new contract and the required data plan. So anyways, turns out I was eligible for an upgrade and the thing only costs me about 100 dollars after rebates and now well, here I am with my new Blackberry!

This thing is awesome, I absolutely love having all my email accounts right in my hands here all in one place. And I paid a little extra to get the navigation system - which almost got me in trouble about 5 minutes ago when I decided to test out a route to get home from here at work and the thing screams out "CALCULATING ROUTE" in the middle of my office!

Anyways, I've already found one way to make this thing "baller" in my eyes - this is my new menu system.

So if any of you guys know of any cool things I can add on to this thing lemme know.

In other news, I modded my rock band drums because they weren't very responsive on the 2 left pads - just google rock band drums penny mod - it only took about 5 minutes and supposedly it helps out tremendously AND only costs a penny!

Like I said, nothing too amazing, but at $10 there are a couple games I might be interested in. I'm mainly looking at 007 which is supposed to have pretty fun multiplayer, pure (to satisfy the urge I get every once in a while to play a racing game. also I used to enjoy atv offroad fury on ps2), and maybe unreal tournament for some mindless arcade fps fun. Or maybe DMC4. The Bourne game is also supposed to be decent, not amazing, but it looks a little too similar to the Bond game for me to bother with both. Also I would feel dirty owning that many movie-licensed games. I was also considering Soul Caliber 4, but I think I might just wait for SF4 to drop in price eventually. Lost Planet is supposed to be pretty good too. Anyways, I thought I would post this because there seem to be some overlooked games in a variety of genres that may be worth it at only 10 bucks a pop.

Oh and Chinatown Wars is only 19.99. that's a steal.

SCI FI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://blog.seattlepi.com/microsoft/archives/166668.asp

Don't know how much Science Fiction you guys read but I saw this article in the news this morning and I'm freaking pumped. Greg Bear has agreed to write 3 books based on Halo. He is going to focus on the Forerunners. Greg Bear is awesome. "The Forge of God" is one of my favorite books and everything else I've read by this guy has been equally great. I don't think they could have found a better author to continue the Halo story. I've never read any of the Halo books before but this news makes me want to go out and get them just so i can be sure to be ready for Bear's additions. The only person i can see being better for this would be Ian Banks. I'm glad to see that they aren't just getting anyone to write these books they are actually going out and getting some of the best Sci Fi authors around to make sure the Halo stories are done right. I can see the Halo universe being a great foundation for some good stuff. Definitely this generation's "Star Wars".

We're back...and in pog form! Actually, Garbage Pail Cards...

More Sounders! YAZAA!

Not to keep harping on the Sounders thing, but I'm going harp on it some more. I just thought this video was pretty good. Pretty funny too. I like the Cut to the "Who are yA?" chant at the end. Seriously though, there are some pretty well put together videos that sounders fans have come up with. It makes me wonder if Joe Roth is making all the interns at his movie studio slap them together or something. Much better then most standard highlight videos i've seen. Keep it up Seattle.

Portal Shirts. Must have now!
