So It’s E3 Time Again

And Microsoft wrapped up their press conference a couple of hours ago … so what did they announce?  Well they’re overhauling the blade navigation system and introducing Avatars … which basically means that they’re taking one part of the PS3 and one part of the Wii and putting them together … result?  I’m not too sure just yet … my first impression upon seeing it was that it looked a LOT like Vista and it’s Aero design … which I wasn’t overly fond of … I did regress my desktop from Vista to XP after all …

They talked a lot about new social games … Guitar Hero World Tour, Rockband 2, SceneIt … they also mentioned a couple of the big blockbuster titles coming out … like Gears 2 … so really all in all?  I was left with a bit of a ‘meh’ …

About the only thing which was worthwhile was the announcement of a partnership with Netflix … which would be a really cool service to be able to stream … however I hope that they actually make that available outside of the US … because when they make announcements like partnerships with NBC, it’s only good in the States … sigh …

Little Baby B is doing fine … she’s getting over a really bad diaper rash … it’s had her up at really odd hours and has thrown her mom and me for a loop … but we’re getting through it …

Out In Windsor – Again

Good morning everyone!  I’m out in Windsor on this fine Fourth of July weekend … why you may ask?  Well it has to do with the fact that one of my best friends Mr. Nardone is getting married this weekend … sucker, heh heh heh …

So I took the train out here last night … and let me tell you it was NIIICE … although there was a moment where it came close to being the exact opposite … last time I took the VIA train, only the first class passengers were given access to power outlets … well this laptop that I work from hasn’t had a battery that’s held a charge in about three years.  So when I sat down in coach, no sign of a power outlet.  Oops.  Well, it turns out that the person next to me was just blocking it, and she got off before London … YAY!!!  ADD Boy was satiated!

This also represents the longest that I’ve been away from Brianna thus far.  THAT’S … a beast of a different nature altogether.  Sure you may say I was able to get some sleep last night.  However when I woke this morning I wanted to go and see my baby and hold her in my arms.  It was a little heart wrenching to tell the truth … oh yeah, I miss my wife a little too …

OK … time to go get ready to watch Nardone take the plunge … I gotta try and remember my catholic wedding routines … stand up sit down kneel down and peace be with you yadda yadda yadda …
