Attention all Zune owners out there! I just read over at the Supersite for Windows that Microsoft will be releasing the Zune 3.0 software/firmware update on September 16, 2008. The update adds some interesting features to the player. One makes use of the built-in FM tuner. Supposedly, if you are listening to the FM tuner on the Zune and hear a song you want, you will be able to tap the pad and purchase the song via wi-fi through the Zune Market Place. Another new feature is the addition … [Read more...]

Book 3: Brisingr
If any of you out there keep of with the Inheritance Series by Christopher Paolini, then you know that book 3, Brisingr is due to be released on September 20, 2008.

All in all download took about a minute or less.(that's saying something as my internet is terribly slow). When the … [Read more...]
Football?
Well, it's Football time in... I'm not going to finish that. I just can't. I won't even join in Fulmer lynch mob mania that is gearing up. No, for me this is just that time of year when I need to know the Vol's football schedule. Not for the assumed reason of being a fan. (Cause, I'm not... never have gotten into football) But, because it's time for me to plan any needed alternate (escape) routes... you know, to keep me away from campus should I need to travel on game day. So, if you need to … [Read more...]
