SPEEDBYRD's blog

A friend of mine, who I would name but I don't want his PM buffer filled up, made for me an awesome new banner! Thank you John for doing such a great job. He did such a good job, now I have a groupie!

Enjoy the luck today!

I am sure there will be some stats on how many people get married today... Wonder if there be some kind of record? I am sure Vegas is cashing in on the 777 day as well. Just be sure there is a little out there for Michele and I when we get there on the 28th! I hope to win big again this year. But if not, there is always the Hooters Casino pool!

Luck!

I know everyone and their cousins are blog'n about the new 3 year xbox bust and fix news. My question is, why didn't they just admit it. Looking at the heat dispersment on the PS3 and the 360, even I who stink at math, can figure out that might be a problem. Why didn't they just make the box like the old one? It was big, and it was ugly, but it worked so well. I never had even a hicup with my original. And my stepson used to haul that around from house to house and play mini lans like it was his job.

Today is the day. Microsoft finally came through with a brand "old" refurb 360. I guess one never really misses something until it is gone. I have complained about the lack of games that are good, or the cost of the add ons with all the online content, but when it comes right down to it I did miss my 360.

Like a friend of mine if this one pukes I will be getting a new one, probably the elite, but lets hope that doesn't happen till around Christmas so Santa can bring one.

I will see you all online soon.

I have been reading about a new heat exchanger ( I know that is probably not the correct term, but hey I never claimed full geek status) If anyone knows about that drop me a line. Also heard that the little Nyco fan can cause a problem as well. Again, any info is welcome.

I am no expert, by any stretch but the 360 is like a space heater. And there is no way that can be good for what is basically a computer. So, to fan or not to fan.. that is the question.

Being the good guy that I am, and being curious I tried to do what the kid from Microsoft suggested to REALLY be sure that the problem was my xbox, and not a game. So I popped in Oblivion and began to play for about 2 minutes... and sure enough, the screen locks up. So, up I go, and shut down the system, but this time there was a difference. When I shut down the power, there was a LOUD whizzing sound and then.. silence. I turn the power back on and my life was forever changed.
