Oddball Update

We now return to our regularly scheduled blogging — sorry for the delay. To begin, I’ve posted details of our excellent trip to Michigan, and there will be more entries in the coming days.

I was writing up a big post here bitching about all the stuff that’s gone wrong today — read: basically everything — but nobody likes to listen to me bitch, so I deleted it and I’ll just keep it to myself.

Holy balls. I’ve just spent about three hours playing BioShock. It is…well, there are no words for what I am feeling.
Can I have my 360 back now? Pleeeeeease?

All of our hard work paid off — today our insurance company gave us a $1,117 credit off our homeowner’s policy after we submitted documentation proving that we have adequate hurricane protection.

Check out what Reaper sent me today — a link to the daily User Friendly comic strip. It totally sums up my experience with Windows Vista, sadly enough.

After a year’s hiatus, I’ve posted a new edition of the Oddball Oddcast.

Over at Yahoo, you can watch the first 8 minutes of Live Free or Die Hard in high def — pretty damn cool.

Apparently there have been some “hijinks” at the local EB Games store where I usually shop — the manager of the store embezzled between $50,000 and $70,000 from the company back in 2005.

I didn’t have much to say during my vacation, but for those who are interested, I have posted photos of our trip to the photo gallery section.

If you’re seeing this, you’re viewing Oddball Update on my new web host. Pages are being served from a quad-processor machine at a small hosting company that looks like a real quality operation, so I have high hopes.
