iTunes had Under The Influence as the free download of the week a few weeks ago, and I can’t help but really really enjoy it. It’s a strange blend of Indie Rock and the Beegees. If you have iTunes check it out here.

Alicia sent me a link today for a Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends blog, which I realized half way through reading it that it’s run by Craig MacCracken. Good readin’!

I don’t know who thought it’d be a great idea to let Jamie Kennedy on MTV and pick up where the horrible Malibu’s Most Wanted left off, but if you’re reading… shame on you.

Thanks to my thoughtful kids and my beautiful & lovely wife, I received Brain Age for Father’s Day. After 5 minutes Alicia was hooked, and we decided to get her a copy. Our crazy neighbor had her power shut off, and seeing as how it is 175 degrees outside needed a fan on so she didn’t die. She asked if she could bum some electricity off us, and offered us a little monetary restitution, so we happily obliged. That enabled us to both have a copy of Brain Age, and we also picked up a copy of Big Brain Academy jsut for the heck of it.

Yup, I took the plunge. After only a few months of a clean XP install, I had already grown tired of the sluggish way it has been running as of late. Enter Vista Beta 2. I’m really impressed with Microsoft, and the way they handled the entire UI. It’s not really like Mac OS X at all (as some blog’s had led me to believe) and I really don’t think MS ripped Apple off other then the Desktop Gadgets.

I don’t have an amazingly fast machine, so I am pretty suprised it’s running as quick as it is. Granted I don’t get the “cool-guy 3d desktop” stuff because of my current video card, but I know that if I get a MacBook that I definatly am going to have it dual-boot Vista and OSX.

Well, that’d the end of my nerdish rant for the moment.

I can’t believe that this was done by a teenager.
