The San Francisco Airport gives you exactly 45 free minutes of Wifi. It puts a big counter on your computer for how much time you have left. It's like 24, but instead of saving the world I'm browsing youtube and posting on EWB.

Did the Orton pose in front of a giant piece of macaroni today. Check that off the list of things to do before I die.
-
Just went to breakfast. At the table next to me, there were two businessmen who proceeded to have a discussion about lolcats
-
Walking around San Francisco, got to demo the Playstation Move in a promotional thing they were doing. It's the New Coke of video games - Playstation ADMITTING that their competitor is selling better, so they are copying it completely. Pretty pathetic.

Second of all, the Wii is offering types of games that both Sony and Microsoft cannot, because the Wii offers a different gaming experience. By mimicking what the Wii does, and offering something similar gaming experience, both Sony and Microsoft are allowing their consoles to compete with Nintendo in a way Nintendo has yet to see.
-
This is a good thing. It means Nintendo will be forced to better their product to maintain sales. It means Microsoft and Sony are finally looking for a way to fight Nintendo on its own ground, because Lord knows they were never going to win by sticking to their own formulas. The companies will advance for it, and the best part is they aren't abandoning their base with Kinect and Move, they're simply expanding it. It's the natural growth of the console market.

Finally: I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMMENT SPAMMED YOU. FURTHERMORE, YOUR COMMENT WAS BAD AND I HOPE THAT YOU FEEL BAD >(

Day 2 of Vacation, in Seattle - Pikes Place Market is the coolest place in the world. The University District is also the coolest place in the world. It is a paradox. An awesome paradox.

Not Pink Gorilla. But Pink Gorilla is also awesome.
-
Yes to both. That place has a huge selection. You know, I'm using this trip to decide where I want to move, and so far, Seattle is making an amazing case.
-
It's an awesome city. Have you been up on Broadway yet?
-
Officially on Vacation! Days 1-4 are in Seattle. Man this place is pretty, and much more lively than the middle of nowhere, Iowa.

I'm normally in Iowa City, so at least there is SOME activity, it's just surrounded on all sides by nothing.
Also, I already saw that Ride The Duck thing. I would shoot myself with a bullet made entirely of sadness before I rode that thing.
-
Things you need to do before you leave: buy a burger and fries from Dick's (either by the Seattle Center or up on Broadway), wander along The Ave in the U District (if you like cheap bookstores/video game stores/comic shops it rules), Seattle Center, possibly the International District? I'm assuming you took the lightrail in from SeaTac so you've seen about as much as South Seattle as you'll ever want to see.
-
The Ave sounds like a dream come true for a nerd/hipster such as myself. I'm going tomorrow.

Blockbuster just filed for bankruptcy. In my opinion, good riddance. I never left a Blockbuster thinking "Man, I'm glad I went there". I always left, shaking and staring at my hands, saying "Wh....what have I done..."

People who saw Blockbuster going bankrupt coming include: Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Hellen Keller...
-
Yes, it's been in a downward spiral for years, this was inevitable. But dammit if it still makes me smile to see it officially happen.
-
In Ireland we get Xtra-Vision. The Blockbuster that's a mile or so away from XV has a picture of an ass made out of sand on the window

Is "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman any good? I found a cheap copy of it, wondering if I should buy it for my trip...

I also found a cheap copy of it and it is well worth a read.
-
Great read
-
Sold, sold, sold, and sold. It's comin' on the trip.
-
Anybody have any recommendations for good Sci-Fi books? I'm leaving for vacation in a week and need some reading material.

Ender's Game.
Dune.
Starship Troopers.

Anything by Philip K. Dick
-
Ender's Game, fuck, that entire series.
-
I'm trying to think of some euphemism that involves the words "Blasting Off", but I'm blanking.
-
Just watched The Maestro vs The Artist Formerly Known As Prince Iaukea. The entrances alone lasted 4 and a half minutes.
-
In retrospect, throwing Mid-Boss into an enemy, thus DOUBLING the level of the most powerful enemy on the map, was not a good idea.
-
Oh my GOD it's back in the 80s today. Can we please just get to fall already? I'm sick of warm.

I can't wait for it to get down into the 80s...
-
What are the "80's"?
-
I remember the 80's...

RK!, if you can see this, I'm trying to send you a question about your review, but it says you can't receive new messages...

I can't get the theme to Ouran High School Host Club out of my head
-
Finally saw FLCL, and learned what all the fuss is about. Also, eyebrows.
-
Also the pillows.

Planning out traveling is a little easier than I thought. Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, and Boston, here I come! In 3 weeks!
-
You do realize one of those is on a different coast than the rest, right?
-
It was originally just going to be a West Coast Trip, but I've always wanted to visit Boston, so I figure why the hell not fly to the other coast for a few days.
-
Seattle in late September. Well, you'll probably get the proper Seattle experience weather-wise, at least.

Debating downloading Dead Rising 2 :Case Zero... it's a prologue/demo to the real game, but it costs monies...$5 isn't much, but then again, it's a pretty small demo...
-
Got another call about a job today...to be an insurance salesman to old people. Did they not notice that my resume says "Mechanical Engineer"?
-
THREE! Got my THIRD call about a job this week! Granted, this job was outside both my qualifications and interests but still! THREE! Now, if only a company on the WEST COAST would call me...
