Xbox 360 + Media Center Edition = Amazing
I opened up my Media Center Edition PC this evening and discovered this dialog front and center: Smart, Microsoft – very smart.
Geometry Wars
Yeah, I've got an Xbox 360 now. When you first flip through the blades it can be a bit confusing, but I want you to pay particular attention to the Marketplace blade where you can download demos and trailers of games (Xbox Live Arcade) – in particular, the game demo of Geometry Wars.

Red Hair Dye Day
When Ponzi went scuba diving (I'll upload that video soon enough), I decided to go to the very reasonably-priced resort salon and get my hair dyed red. At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted it to be stripped down to a bright orange – but my stylist, Michelle, had red highlights in her hair [...]
