Got a bunch of things to do right after this post, so the news might be a little bit late tonight.

The afternoon express bus driver is one fast driver. Fast is good in the afternoon after work. Tired, cranky, want to get home faster. Also, when crossing the street today, this person in a van honked it's horn at us. Hello, we are at least 1/4 of the way on the street already! Of course he didn't stop, but we did......

IGN has posted the following NCAA Football 09 updates:
  • NCAA Football 09 Interview

    Quote:
    IGN: "What were your main goals when stepping into this one? What modes did you focus on specifically?"

    Eric Hine: "Well we really wanted to make sure that the whole game is approachable, so we really focused on this idea of "All Play" which bears a bit of explanation. First of all you've got the controls. Obviously we still have all the advanced controls available for hardcore players, but the All Play control is the default control scheme."

iPhone 3G for $199? Wow that sounds like a deal. Now it makes me wonder if I should just buy one iPhone for the heck of it. Probably if I buy one, Steve will order me to do the news during my lunch break at work!

I installed Windows on my MacBook yesterday. I just made a 40GB windows partition, I should have just made it 30 or even 20 GB, oh well. I guess the reports were right when they said that the MacBook runs pretty warm running windows.

HD's "Aloha Friday" Hot Links After Dark (6/6/08)
12:32 AM - June 7, 2008. Posted by hdaniel1. Written by Daniel Hee

I know that insane office worker video was posted on OS before, but that youtube link I posted is pretty funny!

Today at work I saw someone in the bathroom using the urinal while talking on the phone. Unreal!

I think sometime over the weekend I am going to attempt to use Bootcamp on the MacBook Pro and install Windows XP. Not sure how big I should make the Windows partition. Any of you Mac users have any suggestions?
