I threw up a button to my now public Google Calendar. 8 has one too, but she hasn’t got it as updated as me, and her’s isn’t public. If she decides to go that route we’ll have to do something to disguish between our buttons. Anyway, it’s way down at the bottom, but you can look at if you want.

Playstation 3 – general: 1st ps3 CM – EN audio streaming video – Playsyde

So this is the very first PS3 commercial. It pretty much just sucks. That’s my take anyway.

So Steve Irwin died and everyone is freaking out about it. I wasn’t going to comment, but recently I read that some one wants to destroy the tape of his death. This is totally unacceptable. If Steve didn’t want people to watch him die in a gruesome fashion, why would he spend his life video taping himself doing crazy stuff with dangerous animals? I’ve heard from the internet (very reliable) that he’s actually expressed in his will that his death should be shown on TV if it was caught on tape.

So this is my official call to save Steve Irwin’s death tapes. The should be put in a museum after copied 10,000 times and distributed all over the internet.

Update: Immediately after posting this I began listening to the Sept. 6 episode of Penn Radio. They picked the topic. Just wanted to point to it, as you can listen for free, and also, Penn says Steve Irwin said he wanted his death released if it was filmed in a 2002 interview, so… more credibility and such.

Not much. Let’s make this a rambling post.

I missed two classes this morning because I failed to properly set the alarm. Yay! I would have only missed 1.05 classes, but the second class has this rule where if you’re more than 3 minutes late you can’t come. So great. I apparently missed some sort of in class assignment too. I got the homework sheet he handed out though, and I did the first part of it in like 5 minutes, so that’s cool.

As for the class I legitamitely missed, I haven’t found the professor yet, which is odd, since I went to her office during her office hours. I will try one more time before my other class, which I will not miss.

My mother informed me yesterday of the final part of my GRE score. It was good enough.

Also yesterday was the first game night of the year. We have a shortage of games somewhat because Keston doesn’t know where he put one of them, and he has lost some of his personal ones we used to play with, but we still had like 20 people come. I think it’s a record. Matt, this new guy, brought a pirate game, and Cem? (pronounced Jim?) brought a weird game that was also played. There were so many people that I think the idea of doing future ones in our house is kinda shot. That’s too bad. We’re still trying to pin down a day and time to do these game nights, but there’s a lot of schedules still being formed since it’s so early in the year.

In video game news I got accepted into Archlord Beta yesterday. I got to level 5. The game is totally uninspired as far as I can tell. It has some PvP apparently, but I’ve not seen any. Even if it does it’s lame WoW style PvP, so I’m pretty sure Archlord is not worth buying. They do have one feature where you can pay real money to get some in game items. The idea is that rich people with little time to play will pay for them, and then poor people with lots of time to play with have to pay a lower monthly cost. I dunno much about the scheme, but it’s not particularly interesting to me. I’ll probably play it a bit more, but I’m not holding my breath that anything is going to blow me away.

Ok, that is all. I swear someday I’ll do a post of a ranting philosophical manner and not just an update. I dunno if anyone likes those better or not. I swear none the less.
