Sony, look to the Apple.

Sony seriously needs to look at working out some type of deal with Apple for their PS3 gaming system. With Microsoft's launch of downloadable television and movies this is an important but vital step in ensuring the fact that Microsoft doesn't care about Blu-Ray and why you shouldn't either. Microsoft has already pushed the datacom industry in the direction of more bandwidth. TimeWarner and Comcast are both looking at 20 meg lines residentially and possibly 100meg in 5 years. We'll see. However with all the hub bub over Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, Microsoft is slowly putting in their trojan horses and laughing to the bank. They've launched the Zune and have inked exclusive deals with MTV and CBS. Does anyone not see this huge media center domination waiting to take effect? I like my ipod alot. However its purely a music player for me and really has no extension to any of the other electronics I own besides some Xbox compatibility, though it is very weak. The Zune is launched with Xbox 360 compatibility. Downloadable music, television, and movies, with HD too.

I honestly believe for Sony to stay afloat they should make some attempt to partner with Apple...or hell maybe Apple should buy Sony out and attempt to compete against Microsoft's home media coup. Anything to keep all the gamers happy by keeping games and consoles priced competively.

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of fanboys that will continue to support the PS3 but for how long. Developers are already stating that the texturing is horrible compared to doing textures on the 360. Ports might take up to 3 years for the PS3. How long will you fanboys support your system?

This is why Sony and Apple belong together. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating either company. I had a 36inch Sony CRT that lasted about 10 years and still can be found weighing in at 300 pounds at a buddy's house. I also had a Sony Vaio that was a great pc for about 3 years. I've had a PS1 and a PS2 and loved the games for the PS2. I currently own a 20 inch IMac and have a generation 4 Ipod but use my Cowon A2 for all music and video. I do love my IMac though over my PC. But this type of pretention held by Sony fanboys can only be teamed up with the type of pretention that Apple lovers have. You fanboys can then enjoy your Ipods with your PS3 while sipping your Starbucks, listening to the newest Indie jam, and driving your VW Jetta while putting together your Ikea furniture.

Bad Hangover, Brutal Shits

My tolerance for alcohol is at an all-time low. I had 5 beers last night at BB Rovers with my wife, bro, Aron, and Ecta and afterwards went to the usual hangover cure stop, the Whataburger. I had 3 Taquitos and a large Coke. Approximately 3 hours from that point I woke up and had what I can only describe as the shit that would put the stuff you see in the Saw movies to shame. I was sweating and delirious from what had to been poisoned taquitos.

Why do I believe I was poisoned? Well it all goes back to when the wife decided to make me change the taquitos at the drivethru window to no cheese. The lady looked pissed that I requested this most undaunting task. 5 minutes later I received my taquitos. Needless to say I'm sure someone rubbed one off into the mix.

Anyways, Discovery's Supervolcanos have their work cut out for them. Now top that.

The Life & Wife

I purchased a bed from http://www.bragada.com that's comparable to a 3k Temperapedic bed. I can honestly say that I've had the best sleep on a bed ever. I wake up not groggy and I stay asleep all night. The only thing that would make it better would be to push the snoring lump next to me out of the bed so I could have some more room to enjoy my heavenly foam.

Wedding is done and over and now I'm building my Taj Mahal though my Taj contains slightly cheaper flooring and several thousand less square footage. I do however have an asian slave cleaning it daily. Haha, I digress.

Paul and I have been playing Gears of War for the XBOX 360. Awesome game if you haven't played it. I strongly encourage picking this up whenever you can hide some money from your wife/girlfriend or save enough scrap slaving for "da man."

The H is now a certified Guitar Hero. He's been seen touring the local Fry's and EB Games as well as making an appearance at my house. I suspect he'll be playing the big show (Toys R Us) in front of drooling kids as he sashays and bedazzles the living lights out of them with his 5 colored button smashing Van Halen style. Play on playa!

Thanks everyone for coming to the wedding. It was a small one (roughly 30 peeps) so if you weren't invited don't get offended. Personally it would have been bigger if my wife actually had more than 2 friends. Haha that's my second jab at her and officially the 3rd jab overall on the Kwon side. Bang Bang.

April kept her last name so it was truly an honor when then officially announced us for the first time again as Mr. Troy Kyle and Mrs. April Kwon. The worst part was the after effects. For example Scotts Lawn Service stopped by to do a courtesy lawn quote. They left a note that said, " Mr. Kwon - Stopped by to give you this - please call us to schedule..." Mutha!
