When the XBOX 360 goes on sale later this year, people will have two different systems to choose from. A Core system and a Premium system. The Core will cost $299 and the Premium will cost $399.

The Premium version adds:

• a hard drive
• HD Cables (which will cost you $40 alone)
• a headset
• a wireless controller
• a wireless media remote control.

It seems these accessories are well worth it.

Looks like someone at C|Net was googling a Google executive and got news.com banned from talking to anyone at Google form one year. Sheesh.

A decorated U.S. Marine opened fire outside his apartment when a large crowd was gathering near a nightclub. One of the people in the crowd threw a bottle at his bedroom window, shattering it. Cotnoir fired a warning shot, but it hit a 15 year old girl and a 20 year old man. What’s a 15 year old girl doing near a nightclub? Serious, read more here:

Marine Opens Fire

On the left is my Aunt Kiki. She just passed away about one hour ago. Her husband, John, passed away this winter. And in September of 2003, their oldest daughter, Georgia, passed away from an annheurism. In less than two years, my cousin, Lola, has lost her whole family. Now, the only Filiases left are us and my dad’s cousin Nick and his two sons, one of which has girls.

While I was gone this weekend, I missed this:

Thanks to JT$ for this one!

This is an absolutely FABULOUS commercial. I can’t believe one of the Big 3 used Snoop Dogg in their commercial!

And Ford wouldn’t let Eminem use their new Fusion, a sport sedan that comes out this Fall, in his video for “Ass Like That’. General Motors gave Eminem Hummers to use for his tour…too bad Ford wasn’t cool with the Fusion.

Anyway, here’s that Snoop/Iacocca commecial: http://detnews.com/2005/multimedia/golfbuddies.wmv

I got here yesterday at about 5PM Phoenix time. Sean picked me up and we headed immediately to Bank One Park to meet up with Aaron, his brothers, his friend Joel, and some of the other guys we were going to the DBacks game with.

It was pretty damn hot outside, but the ballpark was closed and the air conditioning was pumping in pretty hard. I’ve never seen HVAC so big in my life! I think you could drive a car through some of the duct work I saw!

Anyway, I think the Diamond Backs won. We left to head out and meet up with Aaron and Co. at some pretty fancy karaoke bar. I think they had some guys that were either regulars or were paid to do their performance. They were amazing, singing and dancing, getting the crowd all pumped up!

Finished the night off with a carne asada burro…oh so good… but probably not so good at 12:30AM.

This is the first time I’m away from my family. I can’t say that I can’t believe how much I miss them, but I can say that I thought about them every few minutes last night! I wish they were here with me!

I love this list. I need to do some research.

Thanks JT$.

I wonder if his eyes will end up as green, like mine and Michelle’s.
