Instead of one single item, I'll make you a deal and give you 7 short items instead. Consider it one for each day I haven't blogged in the last week. ;-)
- Metroid Prime comes out in a little less than a month, and Nintendo just posted the commercial. It's a pretty nice commercial (much better than that awful Super Mario Sunshine commercial), and it got me even more excited about the game. Hopefully it gets some non-Nintendo folks to check out the Gamecube.
- Check out the video of Verbal, the single of Amon Tobin's new album Out From Out Where.
- If you're wondering, I didn't go see Stallman speak -- Instead, I went and listened to Lakoff talk about causality and the mind for 80 minutes.
- Just like Kevin got a new Wells Fargo Platinum Visa card a few weeks ago, I got my new Bank of America Visa Platinum Check Card today. Unlike Kevin, though, this is actually exciting for me. Not only does this increase the amount I can spend at once from $500 to $1200, but since my card number changed, it also means I'll finally be able to use Paypal.
- I'm happy to see the World Series tied 2-2. On the one hand, I want the Giants to win it all because of that Disney thing with the Angels, and because duh, it's San Francisco. On the other hand, I want the Angels to win it all because I like the AL better, and I like seeing underdogs do well, and because all the news about the Giants seems to be Bonds Bonds Bonds. Really, I want to see it go to Game 7 again.
- As for that First Circle concert I went to a couple of weeks back, it was pretty good. First Circle didn't come on until after 12:30, but they played until 2. And between First Circle and the two other bands that played, we got around 4 hours of music for a mere $6. I highly recommend checking out concerts at Blake's, and I think I'll have to try to get back there a few more times before I'm done here.
- Oh, and finally, check out the Perl IAQ - Infrequently Asked Questions. It's pretty amusing. I especially like the answer for "How do I convert a string to a number?"
