On the TV: Halo 2, playing some Action Sack on Live.
On the laptop: EVE-Online, making mining runs in between rounds of Halo 2.
On the brain: Blogging about how much of a geek I am.

- You used to blow into your NES cartridges to make them work (even though it was probably nothing more than the Placebo Effect). Now you can make some sweet music with your very own Custom Nintendo Super Mario 3 Harmonica! —Tony [Comment]
- The Blur beta started today on the 360, and yours truly was able to score a code. Let me say this: Think Burnout Paradise + licensed cars + Mario Kart - annoying powerup randomness + the leveling mechanic of Call of Duty = the best online racing experience I've ever had. I knew this just fifteen minutes in. Each race is about 5 minutes long and is intense, pretty, and wonderful throughout the entire course. If they make no major changes in the negative, this is a must buy. Now to get it on PS3 or 360? —Nat [Comment]
- I think this is the end is near for Blockbuster. Not only are they bringing back late fees, which nobody likes, but they are raising the prices of old releases to 5$. Wow. I thought that they were circling the toilet before. —James [Comment]

I am reminded of a t-shirt I saw in college. It said:
“You can’t spell GEEK without EE”
So true.
(For those that don’t know, Tony is an Electrical Engineer)
You are nerdcore. I see you every morning when I drive by your house, a black sillouhettte sitting in front of your 5 monitors blogging, gaming, hacking, watching G4 TV, while pulling the latest episode of Geekspace 9 from the iTunes Store. And the thought of you doing all that with a Halo headset on is like icing on the cake. I think I’ll buy you a Tri-Lamda sweater.
That is pretty hardcore. Interesting the EVE shares that with Elite … which when I was playing the Oolite rendition of on the Mac Mini, I would pop over and play some NetHack clone while waiting to hit the station.

[...] Since I have EVE on the Lappy, I could always put AA on the main PC. Whoa. Two MMOGs playing at once. That may go way beyond nerdcore. That’s uncharted territory. [...]
