Very cool for them to be moving in this direction, I think it might produce some interesting results.  The XNA Game Studio Express will allow regular deveopers and hobbyists write games that can be compiled to run on the 360.  Annual cost is $99.

Let me make my prediction now… this is the vehicle by which the XBox 360 wil lbe eventually hacked.

From two weeks of Daddy time to a week of Daddy travelling. It'll be like quitting cold turkey for the kids when I fly out tomorrow.

Just saw a woman walking two muzzled pitbulls and a baby in a stroller. Not judging. Ok, yes I'm judging.

Giving up on renewing my health card. Two hour wait.

I screwed my back up three days ago. Now starting to get annoyed that it isn't getting better. So much to do!

At "Disney on Ice" in Toronto with the kids.

No more snow. :-( Lots of wind though, threw my steel patio table across the lawn.

Very pleased with Settlers of Catan (board game I received for Christmas). I can see this becoming an addiction.

I've been fattened up on turkey and pie. All things considered, it's a "good fat".

Thursday 20:37

A very Merry Christmas to everyone who's still awake at the stroke of midnight. I'm settling in for my long winter's nap.

Weaseling successful. Shopping with my Buick float-a-boat (pretty sure that's the marketing name).

Trying to weasel my way into a loaner car so I can finish my shopping while the car is getting serviced.
