While the title should say it all, it really doesn't. My wife and I decided to finally pull the trigger on the PS3 because we found a deal at BestBuy to get Metal Gear Solid 4, KillZone 2 and the 80GB PlayStation 3 for $399.99. Now, the trick to the bundle is that MGS4 has already dropped in price so we're not saving a full "59.99" but it still seemed like a good deal for two games that aren't that bad to have on hand.

My secondary "life" lately is reviewing alcohols, talking with brands and importers and making myself and my video show known to the industry. That's working pretty good, I've been able to gather a lot of respect for brands and they're willing to tell me their stories. For those interested in Tequila, I sat down with Riazul's owner and operator to talk about their tequila products, the tequila industry and a little about agave, oaking tequila's and its creation.

If you've not checked out the Free Lan trip contest, you should do that now. Plane tickets and the such are expensive and, if you're like me, you've spent a crap load of money on broken things lately (just bought a new VW Routan because my wifes car required way too much $$ to fix). House expenses, new business expenses, etc.

I was a consistent C or B- student from fourth grade until roughly junior year in high school. Before that, I was a consistent C or D student (repeated third grade because of my grades and failure to pay attention). I did okay senior year because I had an easy schedule and college was okay because I build my schedule around my interests, when I could, and suffered through a few hard courses; overall, I made college easy on myself because I had one interest: programming.
