It simply does. That is all.

Oh, you wanted to know why! Well, if you're still reading and not playing it, there's three reasons why Rock Band is an awesome investment (it's still $169.99) for your Xbox 360, PS3, or (soonly) your Wii. First off, the UI is a lot cleaner than Guitar Hero 3's. Let's look at the two side by side.

I've become quite a twitterholic the past few days. In fact, let's check the stats. Yeah, I've been pretty much addicted the past few days. Why? Well, there's a few things I love about Twitter:

1. Twitter is short, sweet, and easy to use.

The concept is simple: 140 characters to tell the world what you're doing. I don't think you can get more simple than that. No complex forms, no huge commitments, just a simple request, and your simple answer. It has a wonderful web interface, and the settings allow you completely customize your page's background along with colors for fonts. It's just a breeze to use and easy to look at, which is a welcome change compared to Facebook or MySpace.

I recently came across this post about a user who decided he had enough of the user-generated news community, Reddit. I've been a Reddit user for a quite some time now, and I've done my share of down voting Ron Paul stories as well submitting silly pictures that have made it onto the front page. Lately though, it's become more than a habit to check this site.

I'm sure that this list could be a lot longer, but I'm going to focus on six issues that really piss me off when I'm playing video games. If games happen to have more than 2 or 3 of these traits they tend to collect dust in my game cases very quickly, or they will do the same at your local game store. So, without further adieu:

Every few months I try to start up this routine, but this time I'm going to try and keep it. I'm going to post blogs on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. It's a strange schedule since most bloggers and web comics seem to update on Monday, Wednesday, Fridays, but this works a little better for me with my classes this quarter.

This is a riot.

  This is hilarious.

The future of Internet Radio is in immediate danger. Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on July 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). Today is the National Day of Silence for many internet radio stations, to remind listeners to take action and tell their representatives how they feel about this. Please call your congressman/woman today and help save Internet radio by asking them to support the Internet Radio Equality Act!...

So..... tired...... must..... type....zzzzzzlkjlkjsernhlkeke Huh?! Oh. Nick and I are pretty tired. It's finals week for me, and Nick is having looooong days of classes... we're both tired. HOWEVER!
