Reminds me of one time here in the office...my younger co worker thought a song playing was by Aerosmith...it was The Beatles...how could you not know a Beatles song?
- Bob Bichler
I got no problem with kids not knowing individual Beatles songs. They did break up 40 years ago, after all. I see a different level as never having heard of the band.

Looking outside the window at the sunshine and hearing about the forecast high of 83 makes me want to put this cheesy earworm out there!

Since we have moved to Wisconsin we have set records for most snow in one winter, most snow in one calendar year, most rain in one month and now most snow in one month...How about the record for warmest winter?? Nah..We might enjoy that too much! :-)

A blog post about all the political shenanigans going on around the Rutgers athletic department. Crap like this is why I left New Jersey....I still don't understand why so many people stay there...

Playstation Home has been tough to reach all day today, I've been chillin at the Far Cry trainstation, since the place is so packed. Some things in the Infocalypse clubhouse aren't working right at the moment. But hey, day 1 going from a few hundred thousand users to 3094821349813948 users heh.
Did you get to play around in it at all?
- Admiral Anika
I'm SpinMartin on the PSN (Spin Martin on XBL as well)
- Eric Rice
Anika: I've been in it for months. But yeah, they changed some stuff, and brought back some other things. Can't wait for the Red Bull planes. :)
- Eric Rice
Oh yes, I remember you talking about it in Oct. We still don't have a PS3, but interested to see how it works compared to the NXE or Wii Plaza.
- Admiral Anika
Well it's much more realistic, has game launching and has more of a social presence... So you can meetup with your friends prior to jumping into a game... It's the reverse of traditional virtual worlds: instead of social looking for context, it's context enabling social ... Very hi-res, also.
- Eric Rice
And NXE is silly. If I want a Mii, I'll use the Nintendo. xD
- Eric Rice
Okay. I remember that screenshot you posted of meeting in the lobby before a game and I had said that reminiscent of IMVU. Yes. I had thought the NXE would be closer to that than the Miis. I don't get why Xbox when the cutesy route since their games sorta aren't. Going hunting for more screen caps now.
- Admiral Anika
Does your "Home" avi take it's name from your PSN id?
- Bob Bichler
Adrian shush. Don't you have some tickets to pay? :[
- Admiral Anika
Yes, which means there are tons of people wandering around with retarded names. My only gripe is not being able to have a space between my first and last name, like on Xbox. XXX_deathgangsta85_420_187_XXX

Doo doo doo. Cool to see more people there, and nice to see a non-empty Mall, but still... needs more locations. Feels a little claustrophobic at times.
- Jason Wehmhoener
But where is it! The day is almost over here in the UK and its still not told me its there to download. Anyone that wasn't on the beta seen it / got it yet?
- Simon Wicks
@Simon - Is it not in your PlayStation Store?
- Mark Layton
It's not in my store yet either...and I live in the U.S.
- Bob Bichler
@mark nope, dont see it in there. I figure it will be on teh first screen you see yeah? But i've looked in other sections and dont see it either.
- Simon Wicks
Shut the console down, and started it up again, and it shows up in the same menu as the store thing. You dont need to go into the store to get it :)
- Simon Wicks
Awesome, good luck Simon. I'll give it a try when I get home.
- Mark Layton
Servers must be getting pretty hard at the moment, ive been kicked out twice, and now i cant get back on at all. keeps giving me an error.
- Simon Wicks
Jon and Kate Plus 8 is unwatchable. It makes me angry. I'm putting in headphones and pretending like it isn't on. I don't understand how it doesn't make everyone angry.
I used to like it OK. Back when Jon used to work and it wasn't a 30 minute commercial plugging all the stuff they get for free.
- Paul Reynolds
me too, but this is bad even by those standards. Kate telling these PAs hanging blinds 'One drills and one vacuums' pushed me over the edge. Neuroooooootic.

Join the club Dave....I spend more time on the interwebs when the wife is watching that show then any other time...in fact she is watching it on the dvr right now...

I saw a thing about how the ratings for reality shows have started tanking and it made me very happy.

- David Jacobs
you should be happy. I'm happy for you.
