The Wii is on its way. It should be here by next week, apparently they decided to upgrade the shipping and instead of taking a few weeks, it should be here within ten days of the shipping date, which is Thursday. It might take a little while longer, but it might be here in less time than that. Either way, I am very excited to finally own a Wii. Now if they can get Metroid Prime 3 out for it, I will be as happy as a kid in a candy store.
As you have probably guessed from some of my pictures, I absolutely love digital photography. I just don’t really like my camera because it doesn’t give me the options to customize my settings that much, like one of the camera modeled after a manual film camera. I’ve been really wanting a Nikon camera for some time now. For those who don’t know, Nikon digital cameras are one of the absolute best brands of camera period. Whether it is digital or film, you can’t go wrong with a Nikon.
After all the other stuff we need it purchased, I will most likely be purchasing a Nikon, then I will really be getting into the digital photography thing. I will be able to take pictures no matter what the light is and with many difference lenses. I don’t know when I will have the money, though, so don’t be looking for it anytime soon.
Bungie announced today that Halo 3 will have online co-op, not two, like everyone’s been hoping for, but 4 player online co-op. Now normally I like to finish a game by myself, but having someone playing with you adds to the game. I’ve played Gears of War with people online and it made the game that much more enjoyable, you didn’t have to worry about any bad AI, and not I imagine that it will be 4 times as fun with the 4 people playing. Is it September yet?
I’ve worked in a furniture store and while I was there I fell in love with home theater seating. It is quite possibly some of the most comfortable seats I ever sat in. Well it turns out that the seating was actually Berkline home theater seating. I would love to just sit down in that and pop in a movie or put in Halo and play away. It would even be good for reading or taking a little nap in. What better way to waste a day away then sitting in comfortable seating and doing the things you love? Plus it’s leather, so you know it is high quality.
I have finally figured out how to make thumbnails of animated gifs using ImageMagick so that they stay animated. Let me twell you, once I figured it out, it really wasn’t that hard at all. This is going to help me out a great deal with work and for some upcoming projects.
In other computer related news, I have a lot of computers all over the office, I need to figure out what to do with some of these because they are in the way and are preventing a table from going where we want a table to go. I need to come up with projects for these things, but I don’t know what yet, though.
As consumers we want to be able to find out about businesses and how they perform with others in their ranks. We’d like to get opinions on them, information on some of the most recently sold items from them, that kind of thing. I checked out ePERKS and they seem to have all that free of charge. Now I don’t have to worry about anything, I can go there check it out and see if this is a place that I would like to buy from, without worrying if I am going to get ripped off or not. That’s always in the back of my mind when I am buying from someplace new, is this place going to rip me off? Will I give them my money and not get anything in return? Now I won’t have to be so nervous handing over my hard earned cash.
I have added a script page because a lot of people are comign here looking for the Word Count script I made. I also added the original script I made, which was just for tiny_MCE and not WordPress, so they are both up there, with more to come as I edit them for public use and such. I’m always taking suggestions for scripts, so let me know if you have any ideas for scripts you’d like to see.
Somebody decided to try and flame me for my position on the English language in America. First off for those of you who don’t understand, if I went to Japan or Mexico, I wouldn’t expect them to understand English, so why should they expect me to understand their language if they come to America? Second, this is my blog, I have the right to say anything I wish here, so if you do not have the same beliefs as me, or are offended by what I say then please kindly hit alt+F4 at any time. Otherwise do not flame me on my own website for my beliefs.
I finally got Halo 2 working last night, I had to download all of the maps again. Anyway, I must say that after playing Halo 3, after seeing all the improvements made to the game, I don’t want to play Halo 2 anymore. It sucks because Halo 2 is my favorite multiplayer game, but after playing Halo 3, I just want to play that. It isn’t because of the graphics, because while they were better, they were still just beta graphics. The graphics are going to look so much better on September 25th than they did in the beta. It needs to hurry up and get here.
As you probably know by now, I absolutely love knives and swords and anything like that. I bought my Katana a while back, and I am looking for new things to buy to go with it. I found a site that really has everything I could ever want, swords, knives, throwing stars, they even sell military tear gas if I wanted it. One of the products that I found was a Spiderman 3 throwing star. I’ve always wanted a throwing stat. and now a Spiderman 3 throwing star, how cool is that? I was looking at their armor earlier, as well, it is pretty nice. I could own a whole chain mail suit for a thousand dollars. Can’t beat that price. I could even buy a lock pick from them.
Some of their clothes are cool too. I want a Not Suitable for Children Shirt. I might also purchase the Banned in 502 Airports t-shirt. I think I will give this site when people ask what I want for Christmas. I don’t normally do this, but I am actually going to sign up to their monthly contest and newsletter, this way I know when they add their latest stuff, and I can be one of the first to buy it.
Okay I have put the sponsored posts back on the main page, I had to it was the only way they’d appear on the actual blog section. I am planning on showing only the non-sponsored posts on the main site, I don’t know if it will necessarily be a hack, but just a way to get stuff out of the database. I blog 2 to 6 times everyday, and I still plan on doing that, so check back, you never know what I plan on putting up a new post.
My blog is on the wp folder, if you looked at the URL of any of the blog posts you’d see that. I tried to hide the sponsored posts from lepslair, while still having them appear on the wp section. That didn’t work out too great. You don’t see the sponsored posts on the wp section. I thought it was just the lepslair that didn’t see them. I am going to be putting the sponsored posts back on, but I am going to find a way to take them off the main site and leave them just on the wp section, seeing as how that IS my blog.
