Consecutive posts?

Not quite...

But close. I'm doing better than I have anyway. There's only a few things I really wanted to talk about today, and then you can be on your way...

Zune 2!

Alright, the more I look at it, the more excited I am about the new Zunes and Zune software. Microsoft confirmed the rumors, there are new Zunes and us long time Zune owners are getting upgraded software so that the only drawback to owning the original Zune would be the fact that they are big.

If you're interested, there's a great write-up on Wired's site that gets pretty in depth about not only the hardware, but the whole Microsoft plan for the Zune. There's some interesting things happening with the Zune brand, and I'm really glad to see that Microsoft is being very bullheaded about it. I did worry that the pitiful initial sales and slumping sales in the industry coupled with the killer selection that Apple has would keep them from trying to compete, perhaps just sweeping the massive Zune bricks under the rug like a toddler cleans their room.

If I've now convinced you to join the social, you can pre-order the new Zunes on Amazon's site.


Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane

I said I was going to watch this. I said I was excited and that I thought it would be terrible.

I wasn't disappointed!

To say that this movie was terrible would be putting it mildly. I was actually amazed by the quality of some of the effects. I love to see these movies that are this bad intentionally. The acting was terrible, which seemed very intentional in some cases (such as Erick Avari, who's been in at least one episode of every television show that has ever aired, ever).

All I can say is that this is a brilliantly done splatter festival with Zombies galore. It's silly, fun, and everything one hopes for in a Zombie flick.


Cheap 40GB PS3?

Alright, I can't help but laugh when articles like this show up. Apparently a 40GB PlayStation 3 has shown up in the UPC Database.

What does this mean? Well, it means that there will be a cheaper PS3 hitting the market. Maybe, just maybe what it means is that Sony has finally accepted that they need to at least pretend to be competitive. Is is possible that Sony has realized that not every gamer can just pony-up near infinite sums of money to play the 'best system', even if it has their name on it.


Of course, the best part of this is that it turns out that there's....
A free Public UPC Database?

It's pretty neat. Here are a few things on my desk that I could check....

Vitamins
Coke
Sprite
Door Chain (It didn't know what it was, but it knew who made it, which is still interesting...)
Altoids Cinnamon
Altoids Wintergreen
A book


Anyway... let's move on...


Parallel Universes Exist?

If you know me, you know that this shit just fascinates me!


Gogol Bordello

You would do well to check these guys out! Gypsy Punk?!?! YES! Mike made me do it, blame him! Insanity!





And with that...

I shall bid you all, adieu!
