After buying a $350 shaver with credit card reward points, I can honestly say that no electric shaver is as good as a blade. Here's the one I bought

Played 9 holes in a break in the rain yesterday and although I didn't score well, I am striking the ball as well as ever. That's a bit of a contradiction but I am not far off posting a very low score (by my standards). We were honouring the annual tradition of having a Kenny Young memorial golf day. Kenny was the father of one of my friends and passed away in '96. Each year for the past 7 years about a half a dozen of us get together to remember him.

I'm sure he's up there in a bar somewhere having a beer and a laugh. Cheer's Kenny!!

Picked up the Reservior Dogs SE today. About time it got released in Region 4. Why the bloody hell have JB Hifi started taking the discs out of the cases? I want my discs in the shrink wrap in pristine condition dammit. Scratch another DVD retailer. [pun intended]

Also found some blanks that my tempermental cdr will burn to. Verbatim digital vinyls. Look like a mini LP record.

If the Around the World in 80 Days reference got you reminiscing, you can download Jules Verne's novels here. It's not illegal..old books become freeware after a certain time.

Can anyone explain to me why an xbox can be had in this country for under $300AUD which includes damn good graphics AS WELL AS a hard drive, processor and everything else and yet a decent quality video card for the pc costs as much or in many cases much more????

I'm guessing that the xbox hardware is heavily subsidised because they know you will be buying games @ $100 a pop. Still doesn't make it right...doesn't microsoft put nvidia graphics hardware in the xbox? How can nvidia sell to ms at a fraction of the cost they want consumers to pay for their pc cards? I know it's not apples with apples but it's still fruit. Rotten fruit if you ask me. Fix Tricks, Fix Tricks.

I fixed my pedal with an occy strap. Does the job for now. Did I mention that I can't get enough of GTR 2002?

I bought a copy of F1 2002 on Sunday. You'd think I'd do that because I wanted to play it right? Wrong. I had to have it so that I could play a free mod called GTR 2002 that is based on its physics engine. The mod is based on the real life FIA GT championship from Europe which features Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborgini, Dodge Vipers etc. For a free mod developed out of the goodness of the hearts of 20 or so dedicated enthusiasts, it is absolutely fantastic. I cannot begin to tell you how much fun it is. I have been having a ball with it every night until last night. The spring on one of my pedals snapped and that was the end of that until I can get it fixed. Damn doesn't begin to describe how annoying that is.
