My PS3

This is my PS3.There are some like it, but this one is MINE.My PS3 is my best friend. It is my life.I must master it as I must master my life.My PS3 without me is useless. Without my PS3, I am useless.I must fire my virtual rifles true.I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me.I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will…My PS3 and myself know that what counts in war is not the virtual rounds we fire,the noise of our fans, nor the heat we release.

Evil

I wonder if it would be evil of me to buy 5-6 bags of Doritos or some other snacks and peddle them for a 200% markup at the PS3 lines…

Yay!

PS3 Upgrade Confirmed

Facts falling into place

The PS3’s starting to get more and more information released about it. First, there’s a picture of what is underneath the PS3’shard drive flap finally. If the information that’s been out over the last 2 years is correct, it should accept any 2.5 inch SATA drive. $170 for a 160 gig drive on newegg.Next, there’s the complete manual to the PS3. This has a number of interesting gems in it. First, A format utility is included that can also format the hard drive on the system.

Game rental sites

I’m finding one thing very interesting now that I’m on a game rental site, gamefly. How is it that the games they send out to me arrive 2 days after they state they were sent, while a game I sent a day earlier still hasn’t arrived there after 4 days? I wonder if their receiving department is just slow or if they delay saying they’ve received something until a day after they mail the replacement…

Government mandated costs of employment

I’ve heard several times from the owners of the business I work at about the costs of employment of people. The amount of money your employer gives you isn’t the total amount that they’re paying to hire you. The added amounts they have to pay actually add up to nearly as much as the gross pay they give you. First, if you look at your paystub, there’s an entry for Social Security.

Mr. Robot

I’ve been watching Mr. Robot’s development for several months now. It’s one of those interesting indie games that are sometimes hard to find. They’re nearing the end of their dev cycle now, so they’ve started on some interviews. Pretty cool stuff, there.

Question answered.

Item #8Sony has now confirmed that you can swap the hard drive out on the 20gb model. I’d heard about this over a year ago, but I hadn’t heard anyone say it recently.

Political Dishonesty through selective reporting

I’m beginning to think the Democrat party will keep the Colorado house and gain the governorship through utterly dishonest means. They’re taking a very pro-consumer pro-taxpayer measure that the republicans either voted for or supported, and telling only half the story to make it sound utterly anti-taxpayer and anti-consumer. I suspect the only branch of the republicans I still like, the fiscal conservatives, are going to lose most of their seats due to these lies by selective reporting.

cube-shaped structures

Radical Muslims try to patent cube-shaped structures saying that nobody else can build one or they’ll be offended. Of course, you can’t build it to be shaped like a pig either. If it looks like something they love or something they hate, you can’t build it without offending them.It makes me rather depressed about the future of the middle east. It’s like their entire religion is the exact antithesis of free expression and the entire foundation of our society.
