Maybe this Xbox is the one?

After two weeks, of toying with the idea of getting an Xbox 360 Elite and looking for it at Fry's, Circuit City, and other stores to no avail.

I have discover that I might want to hold out for the new Simpsons themed Xbox 360. Though yellow is not an acceptable color for home entertainment equipment and my chances of finding or winning the limited edition Xbox 360 (I read only 100 would be available) are next to zero. I have nothing to lose by putting my Xbox 360 desires on hold once again.

Oh Microsoft... Why do you toy with me so....

Duff: The Simpsons Energy Drink

Duff: The Simpsons Energy Drink

Now I can enjoy Homer's favorite beverage without the alcohol. Of course, with 120mg of caffeine I think I will need to pass anyway.

New Minivan, but look what I passed up!

Brandi wanted me to mention on the YouTube: Mom My Ride Post earlier today that we infact had stepped into the world of minivans over the weekend with the purchase of a 2007 Kia Sedona.

I think though it is far more approriate when comparing it to the car I could have bought over the weekend. For just under three grand a month, I could have owned a four wheel fully driveable piece of my history in the KITT 2000 from the TV Show Knight Rider. Though probably not a sound investment, it might have been a more approriate purchase for my birthday which also occured over the weekend.

I don't know anyone planning on moving to Wisconsin or Minnesota, but if anyone is interested. A friend's parents are selling their house. I have visited, well over 10 years ago, and it is very nice.

Take a look and pass it on if you know anyone.

For 130 dollars, this might be a great solution to move VCR tapes and camcorder recorders to DVD. Sounds like a great time saver and a good way to move formats.

Fox News Alert or Free Advertising?

This was a Fox News Alert yesterday at lunch. The fox ticker counted down the number of devices found and the number remaining (not yet handled by the bomb squad). Since I couldn't hear the audio, I was wondering what these mysterious packages were. Here you go:

This seems more like free advertising than news.
