I’m really digging Track A Tiger

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

I don’t know where I first heard of them, but I cannot get enough of the three songs they made available for download off of their website.

I’m hoping I get this cd for my birthday. :) Scratch that, I just saw that you can buy it on iTunes. That literally just happened [...]

I just finished watching the Nintendo Press Conference from e3 (well, I actually listened to it and flipped over to the window every once and a while when things sounded interesting).

Tagging arrives (a year late)

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

Looking for an Xbox 360?

Monday, May 1st, 2006

A friend of mine has an Xbox 360 that he’s looking to sell.  It’s the full blown 360 (with the hard-drive, etc).  Along with it he’s including three games:  PGR3, Fight Night 3 and Call of Duty 2.  While I’m not going to put the price up here, believe me you’re getting a good deal.

There’s [...]

Monday, May 1st, 2006

Just a quick hit-list for me for upcoming posts..
