Herd of Cats

I am quite surprised that no one as put this up yet:

From this article:

10- You assume you repulse all women, not that you would be wrong...

9- You develop bad eating habits, or cook chilly constantly

8- You gush about your feelings to women, or worse, to guys...

7- Your dating standards plummet, if you even bother to date

6- You get a cat, or two

5- You surf mail-order bride sites "out of curiousity"

Yes, it's finally here!

Much to the chagrin of local Apple resellers, the Rideau Centre's worst-kept secret will be revealed Saturday, July 18, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. No doubt hardcore Mac-heads are already lining up to make sure they score one of the T-shirts being offered to the first 1,000 customers.

If you pre-order it from Best Buy

Note that you can also get 10$ off Assassin's creed 2 as well.

Not sure how long this is going to last.

...but I may have to buy one

Or I could just put this on and run around the rooftops in my neighbourhood. I'll look a lot cooler than I do now in my batman PJs. Although it could be too close to call.

An Officially Licensed Replica Like No Other is Coming.

• Strong Cordura Mesh Base with Heavy-duty 4 way stretch Spandex inserts.
• Removable CE Approved Body Armor in both Jacket and Pants
• Highly detailed, removable lightweight interior lining.
• Form Molded Leather and Kevlar Armor Sectons.
• Made from Quality Tanned Cow Hides

No price yet, which is a good thing as my heart is still trying to recover from the cost of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition.

or you deserve, for that matter

So I had a birthday. Yes, another one. I'd rather not talk about it.

So Snuffy D, Coxxorz and I went out for a coffee to celebrate and the less-than-dynamic duo split a EBgames gift card for my birthday present.

A tradition between us.

Why am I promoting this game? Because it was made right here in Ottawa!

Yes, it was made at a software outsourcing company called bitHeads (well, technically HeadGames, a subsidiary of bitHeads I believe).

More importantly I got a chance (twice, in February and April), to play a pre-release of this game on Xbox Dev kits and ask some of the developers questions. Hooray! Read more

It looks like the Coral Sea Challenge has been completed in record time, so congrats to the 25 people who were able to get into a game... that's a lot of kills in one week! Clearly they were using a cheat. Read more

So, it's been 3 weeks, and I'm still sane and still married.

Join me.

Crazy Stupid Expensive price has been announced

Turns out the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 branded Night Vision Goggles will set us back $149.99 USD.

Probably $189 CDN although we may see $179 or more likely $199. I'm okay with the $179 but anything over that I and start having doubts.

Here is one of the many links available.

I have been looking for a good pair of Bluetooth headphones for a long time now. I was able to find the Plantronics P590, and they do OK. Nokia just announced my wet dream, the BH-905.

Went ot Best Buy today to kill some time and get out of the office. Was not looking for anything in particular, but something cought my eye. A 16GB Cruzer Micro USB 2.0 Flash Drive with U3 smart software for $59.99. Now I have been looking for a reasonably priced 16 GB flash drive with U3 for a while now, and they were not sold in any store. I could get regular 16 GB flash drives, but not with the software I wanted. And always, these drives sold for over $100. Read more

See my jet speeder daddy?

"It's fast!"

FYI: 100% Rolly.

Because our LAN parties aren't strange enough

I mean physical real ones that you can wear. Not the usual virtual ones for your game character.

In a somewhat odd but strangely appropriate throw in, the Prestige Edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 includes a working set of Night Vision Goggles.
