Today i have taken a day off and i'm spending it drinking my way though a case of TIGER and it tastes subtly different to the stuff you get in a bar though as it tastes quite a bit smoother if that makes any sense. Probably not, neither will any of the following:
I'm also watching the 3rd Volume of Ghost in the Shell SAC 2nd GIG and messing about with some new software such as Menuet which is a fantastic little shareware app which adds a range of shortcut keys to iTunes as well as a funky drop down window from the menu bar among other things. Then there is Quinn which is free and is basically Tetris + Mac OS X = UI GORGEOUSNESS, if you're a Mac user pick that one up as it has some really cool extra features. ATIccelerator II is as it says, "on the fly over-clocking for Mac OS X" or rather more specifically "on the fly over-clocking for ATI graphic cards for Mac OS X" - quite useful for getting some extra juice out of your hardware and after playing with Sim City 4 prior to and then after enabling the software i can say it makes some difference, nothing huge but it does speed things up which will be beneficial in the future for games such as WOW: Burning Crusade... also since I have an Xbox 360 with me for the weekend i have been trying out Connect 360 which basically does what Windows Media Centre does but for Mac OS X i.e. it enables you to play your iTunes library, your movie folders contents and your iPhoto library though an Xbox 360 - it works well but i am not 100% convinced by the console just yet although Xbox Live Marketplace is a lot of fun, hopefully Nintendo can put something like that together for the Wii with it's online capabilities - we already know we'll be getting our mits on Nintendo's back catalogue!
Anyway, enough crap for today... i'm doing my rounds around sites i usually visit a lot but haven't had the chance in a while.

Well the Wii will have this 24/7 connection. It will basically be able to be online in standby so that you can download games when you are not there and recieve updaste and messages from friends ect.
Obviously the graphics of the Wii are not up to par of the 360 and PS3, but their approach seems more exiting and some of my favorite games at the moment are for the DS, where graphics are not the main concern.
I like the look of Oblivion on 360 but its not so greast that I want to by the console.
A DS lite at the end of the week is for me. I`ll keep my old one too for some 2 player action 
Keep well mate, enjoy your day off.
