The bad news is shannon got sick today, so the trip to Atlantic City was cancelled. The good news was that I logged some serious hours in Doom 3, I must’ve gotten through 5 or 6 levels, but my back still hurts, so its not THAT good news…what a crappy update, maybe this pic will save it.
New Mac OS X 10.3.5 Update is out, might as well snag and install that, seems both MS and Apple are releasing more and more patches every week.
Also looks like World of Warcraft is getting a release date, apparently its going gold in Oct and should be available in early Nov, according to this article by GamersHell. I am super psyched, I might actually have beaten, Doom3, Halflife 2 and Riddick by the same time.
Windows XP Service Pack 2 is finally being released after 2 years in the making, a few new features and lots of bugs fixes. This will probally be the big update for awhile so I highly recommend every get it. Its been released to MSDN subscribers currently and should be released to the gerenal public next monday. If your going to grab it off the torrent sites like I did *cough*, here are some this to look for (other than the MS digital signature):

WOW, what an amazing game, I hate to say it, but its so worth the wait. Do yourself a favor and head out and get yourself a copy. Even Time magazine did an article on the game. Its really that good.
Also my 15gb iPod arrived today, I also got some accessories including the dock and carrying case (which I gave to shan), however I was not expecting to get the remote also(!) which alone is like $35. Made the mishaps and long wait for shipping seem all the more worth it.
In an earlier post I mention computer problems, well they still have been popping up, however I have located the problem, a bad stick of RAM. Lucky for me I spend the extra dough to get the good stuff from Muskin, who were extremly friendly and gave me a return without even a reason or proof of purchase, becuase the offer a LIFETIME warranty. Very cool indeed.
