Yeah, duh - XBox has been having issues.  First, just a quick recap: around Christmas time, XBL got hammered big time as new owners gained control of presents and promptly setup accounts.  This is a GOOD THING - I'm happy to have the company.  I also believe quite a number of copies of COD4 made their ways into shooter hands.  Now, almost immediately, there were some serious issues - you guys are already aware of them.

I have no idea exactly why this was on my mind yesterday, but it was. I thought for awhile about the time I was carjacked and I spent time reflecting on the trial. This really is a serious topic, so if you're waiting for a joke you might as well move on....

This isn't something I talk about much - for awhile, it was pretty much all I thought about, but these days I don't even think about it often. It isn't avoidance - it just doesn't control my life, so it's a surprise when it does come up. For the record, I truly believe being the victim of a violent crime changes you forever.
