Reply? Yeah Right… 2

I didn’t really expect a reply but I was kind of hoping for one. When you write a business a “demand letter”:http://www.snapturtle.com/archives/000267.php you’d think that they’d want to resolve the issue before it gets worse. Knowing full well that they weren’t going to do anything about the *mold* problem, I called the county health department [...]

The Battle Begins 2

Argh! I’m frustrated, sick, torn, disgusted, and outraged. I’ve lived in my current “dwelling” for 3 years and from day *one* there has been a very serious issue with the sliding glass door in the living room area. The f-ing thing leaks, plain and simple. It leaks everytime it rains, sometimes moving as far as [...]

Pokemon Heroes 1

Autumn and I spent the afternoon going to a movie together for the first time without Mommy. Of course, since the movie was “Pokemon Heroes”:http://www.pokemon.com/movies/06000391.asp, I was actually excited to go (uh… someone check my pulse). The movie wasn’t half bad actually. There was some pretty good CG animation in some of the scenery shots, [...]

Photo Gallery Additions 1

Added more photos of Aiden recently. The additions are in the “April photo album”:http://www.snapturtle.com/gallery/album13/2 and I’ve added a new “May photo album”:http://www.snapturtle.com/gallery/album16 of Aiden. Aiden at 3 months (Apr. 25th 2003) Aiden sitting up (May 3rd 2003) Hard to believe but in just 8 more days Aiden will be 4 months old. Time flies…

GameCube & Game Boy Together At Last 1

While Sony and Microsoft are lowering the prices of their consoles, PS2 and XBox respectively, to $179.99 (a $20 discount) Nintendo has one upped them again. Come June 23rd, when you buy a Nintendo GameCube you’ll get a “free Game Boy Player”:http://pocket.ign.com/articles/403/403068p1.html inside the box! What does this mean? Well, for the low low price [...]

Finally! I Beat A Damn Game! Comments Off

I did it! I actually beat the Pokemon Elite Four and finished Pokemon Sapphire, kind of. You see, once you beat the final “boss” in a Poke game, the game really just starts. I still have to collect all 202 Pokemon to complete my Pokedex (uh… its like a catalog of Pokemon), so far I’ve [...]

US Car Society Comments Off

Americans love their cars. Nothing better than driving 30 miles to work in your brand new Lexus, listening to the 10 CD changer while smoking a designer cigar. Ah, the life… The US doesn’t do enough to support mass transit and I don’t mean Greyhound or Amtrak which are privately owned anyway. I’m talking about [...]

E3 2003: World Of Warcraft… for Mac! 3

Yes! Hooray! Woohoo! w00t! “Blizzard”:http://www.blizzard.com has “announced”:http://www.blizzard.com/wow/e3/2003/pressrelease-mac.shtml that their online RPG, World of Warcraft, will indeed be developed for the Mac platform! OMG! This is huge! Blizzard has always supported the Mac, but in some cases games weren’t developed during the same cycle so the Mac versions of their games were always delayed, sometimes for [...]

2 Million And Counting 1

Hey, all you doubters out there, how’s 2 millions songs in 16 days sound? That’s right, Apple’s iTunes Music Store has “sold 2 million songs”:http://www.macnn.com/news/19445 in only 16 days of business. Not bad I’d say. Just “last week”:http://www.snapturtle.com/archives/000249.php I talked about how they sold 1 million songs and that the trend of selling a million [...]

E3 2003: Pokemon In Full Force 3

From the “OMG! Hurry up and get here!” file, Nintendo has announced the game I’ve been waiting for since the release of Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire… “Pokemon Colosseum”:http://cube.ign.com/objects/566/566822.html. (source: “IGN”:http://www.ign.com) Look at that! OMG! I can’t wait to play this game. Being able to see the actual size differences between Pokemon is just awesome. Also [...]
