<3 Apple

I've never owned an Apple product in my life. Ever.... I don't own an ipod, I didn't even own a Newton... but I love that Apple is now offering free recycling on all old PC's when you purchase a new Apple.

New game system size comparison chart...

techeblog.com has a size comparison chart of all the new and past game systems available. I can't belive the PS3 is so massive! the Xbox 360 looks like a PC case up close and the PS3 dwarfs it.

Xbox 360's Eyetoy

Gizmodo just posted about a release date and a video for the new Xbox camera... oddly Bill Gates just said last week that gesture recognition would not be mainstream for games... sounds like they're playing catch up.

Another use for a USB drive

Gadget Madness did a review on a U3 enabled USB drive... it sounds fantastic... I would love to be able to carry an email or rss program with my settings in it and use it on any computer I have access to.

Great comedian

I still remember how to get games to work in my original Nintendo :)

Addicted much?

My first day of having this blog up and there's really not much to speak of techie in the news today so I'll take this time to confront my demons.
I'm addicted to video games.
Not like... totally... I mean I could quit anytime I just don't want to.
...
So for the last several months I've given up the MMORPG games and moved to consoles... the Gamecube in particular.
I've played MMO's since some time in 2001 but I really started with MUDD's (multi-user dungeons and dragons) which wouldn't really be classified as an MMO.
When I was a kid I played quite a few console games... after I heard of the new Zelda game coming out for the Gamecube (which was due out in March originally) I knew I wanted to play it. So I got a GC for my birthday from my family and tried to hold out for the new Zelda game... I've now since February played through about.... 12 GC games I think... I get them used from EB, play'em all the way through, then sell em on eBay. The GC was a lot more fun then I thought it would be but now I'm finding myself out of games I want to play for it... so what next? Zelda doesn't come out till November... Now I'm about 6 hours into Kingdom Hearts... what a fantastic game... I forgot how great Square games are and how good games were for the PS2... MMO's have definitely consumed quite a bit of gaming time for me... so far playing catchup on the consoles hasn't been cheap :P

Welcome

I'm kinda a geeky person. I love tech stuff, video games, and so forth... I work at a TV store full time... you get the idea... so this blog is going to be all the stuff I see and say "hey look at this honey" to which I usually get a roll of the eyes and a pat on the head.... this is my tech blog :D
