When one door closes, another one opens. So with the RRoD sending my Xbox back to Microsoft for repairs, I decided to pick up a new PlayStation 3.

My expression so far is that it took longer than expected to setup and get into a game; it’s really weird playing without the promise of Achievement Points; the XMB doesn’t feel right; the graphics are about the same as the Xbox; and although it was tough to re-acclimate myself to the dualshock, it’s still a great controller… Oh and the SixAxis controls are difficult (at least in Heavenly Sword which is the only game I’ve played so far).

Additionally, somehow I couldn’t secure my usual obscure username.

Anyway, I should remember to give my other 2 games (Metal Geal Solid 4 and Ratchet and Clank Future) a try.

To be honest, I’m surprised it took this long to happen… But today the inevitable occurred during a match of Call of Duty 4: The dreaded RRoD!!

I need to rememeber to buy a PlayStation 3.

What a glorious photo! I found this on the front page of The New York Times.

I must remember to get back into taking photos and keep trying!

After way too long, I managed to complete a new site for composer, and my friend, H. Scott Salinas. It’s a dark, somewhat moody affair with some interesting design elements. Check it out now at hscottsalinas.com.

I should remember to occasionally exercise my build skills if only to keep up with the latest methods…

MyBestDesktops.com launched one year ago with Halloween desktops, so it’s exciting to once again be in the season of drinking and being scary! So far we’ve had a cute jack-o-lantern and a scary ghost… what’s next?

I need to remember to keep uploading stuff!

So, yeah… Hit Korea on business for what was supposed to be 5 days but turned out to be 8. There were some ups and some downs, but at least I managed to get some time on the weekend to see some of Seoul and take some photos. Of course, I didn’t get up to the DMZ after all that discussion, but…

I should remember to check it out next time!
