Mafia Wars (Facebook)

What a stupid game, yet, I can't stop playing it.

Street Figher IV (X360)

Stan managed to pick this game up for me for $20. What a bargain. If I had the patience, all games would cost $20. I'll have to fire it up once I'm back at home.

UFC Undisputed (X360)

I got this game early and managed to not suck online. I haven't touched it for a month though, and I'm sure I'm not as good.

Why you shouldn't trust IMDB.

Many many years ago I had a brilliant idea to start a company that would write fake reviews for IMDB. With maybe a handful of creative writers, you can definitely give the movie a boost by scoring it high, and also writing fake call-to-action ("go out and watch it now because you won't regret it and it made me feel this way") reviews.

Well, that's what IMDB has become today. A new movie comes out, its rated unusually high like 7.5 or 8.0, when it deserves a 5.5 or 6.0. These numbers, although may not seem that big of a deal but could mean tens of millions of dollars. IMDB has established itself for recommending movies, unfortunately you can't trust it. Look at the movie Public Enemies. It even was high in the imdb top 250 the first week. Now its out of there, with the rating of 7.8. But what is weird is that the forum, all there are is people complaining how bad the movie is. This movie is probably more likely a 5.8.

This is pretty sad.

Steve Jobs: Give the man a liver and STFU

I'm no Apple fanboy by any means (I don't own an apple and will never own one, except iPod based products), but Steve Jobs has revolutionized the world with Apple products, and has definitely improved lives of people all across the world. He's created jobs directly and indirectly for countless people. The Apple products of today were spawned partly or fully from his personal vision of what computing and portable computing should be today. Products like Palm Pre wouldn't have come along if the iPhone weren't invented first. There would be no back and fourth competition from microsoft trying to improve operating systems and GUIs. What would the world be like today if it he hadn't come along? Just look at what happened when Steve left Apple, and look at where its headed now with his direction. Apparently, as sad as it is to assume one man could be responsible for so much, he deserves a lot of credit.

Does this make it ok for him to cut in line so he can get a liver so he can continue to do what he does? Yes. I'd rather let Steve snatch away livers from 5 alcoholics who destroyed their livers because they couldn't put down the bottle so they can beat the spouses on a daily basis. He can take every single one of those livers for all I care. Those people will never change the world, Steve will continue to employ people, create jobs, revolutionize technology, and improve lives for every single person that steps in front of any computer based device.

Finally

I was able to run 1.5 miles straight, and with a quarter mile break, ran 1.25 miles back. I've finally gone over the invisible hump of not being able to run for more than a mile due to complete exhaustion. On my way back, I felt like I had enough energy to keep running another mile no problem. This is quite an accomplishment for me because getting over the hump always seemed so impossible every time I tried running.
