After Apple announced the Magic Mouse a fews months back, my interest was seriously piqued. I never was fond of the one-time named Mighty Mouse with its little scroll ball, but the Magic Mouse looks and sounded like it would be a great mouse. I finally had a chance a few weeks ago to try one out and yep, it’s a nifty piece of hardware. I love the shape, the weight and all the sweet features of the multi-touch Magic Mouse. Being able to click anywhere, scroll in any direction, and swipe through images on its smooth, seamless top shell really makes the mouse magical. The price is a bit much at $69.00, but it’s not ridiculous for what the mouse is capable of.
I’m currently using a Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000, which is alright, but I really am jealous of those with the Apple Magic Mouse. Soon, I tell myself, soon. Just like the ~23″ HD LCD display I want, the XBOX 360 and everything else on my want list. Soon. Yeah.

Christina and I went to see Twilight: New Moon, based on the Stephenie Meyer novel, yesterday. Bella and Edward for all eternity! We watched the first Twlight
movie months after it was released on DVD and Christina really enjoyed it. I thought it was alright. New Moon is long– too long. But it’s still a decent movie. I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys vampire movies or is a tween.

Employees at St Vincents Hospital put this video together to generate breast cancer awareness throughout the hospital system with the hope that it will inspire others to join in the cause. Very cool.

What’s scares me most about Obama is not Obama himself. It’s the HATE that his followers have for those that aren’t with the program. That’s terrifying. I don’t believe in his political views what-so-ever. I didn’t care for Bush either. Okay? So I’m no blind, right-wing, crazy conservative, nor am I racist. I don’t agree with Obama. I think his true goals are far from what he talks about in public. The man is a downright nightmare as president of our United States of America. But his followers? His lemmings? Oh man… don’t get in their way or say anything against Obama or anything about him or his “goals”. He is Jesus, Buddha, Mandala, Ghandi, Mother Theresa, Muhammad, John, Paul, George and Ringo all rolled into one.
You’re either with us or against us.
What’s that statement say to you? Yet, I hear it constantly from the followers of Obama.
Frightening. Terrifying. Horrifying. It’s time for some serious time with the movie Brazil
, and the books 1984
, Animal Farm
, Brave New World
, etc, etc. Fear mongering? Me? No. I couldn’t care less for conspiracy theorists or all the bull of Obama being yet another Illuminati member in office and all that crap. I’m a patriot. I love my country. Many men and women worked hard to build this nation. And now… so many men and women want the country to work hard to take care of them. That’s not how it works. It leads to fascism. It leads to lazy idiots letting the government do all the thinking for them. It’s giving up every right and freedom this nation was founded on.
But, whatever… right? Life’s hard and what’s so wrong with the government helping out just a little here, and there… and there, and with this, and that… and oh yeah, this too, and don’t forget about this one either. Ahhhhh.

Wow! That’s was my initial impression of XSEED Games’ The Wizard of OZ: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road in just a few minutes of play-time after a friend had mentioned he’d given it a try and he was surprisingly impressed.
The Media.Vision developed title is a simple and linear turn-based RPG inspired by the tale of Dorothy and her magical journey through the Land of Oz, revealing a new perspective on what happened after reaching the end of the Yellow Brick Road. The Wizard of OZ is not really a source I’d think to use for an entertaining RPG but Media.Vision has definitely pulled off something unique and incredibly fun. The whole game is controlled entirely with the stylus using a track ball and a few buttons on the bottom screen. The graphics are bright and beautiful. Compared to traditional Japanese console RPGs it’s a bit simple, but it’s got more than enough depth to pull in hard-core fans and keep their attention.
