Just a quick update for those keeping track:

1. Finals are today and tomorrow. Forecasting production runs is *so* much fun! Final negotiation presentation is regarding NASCAR

2. A package arrived today. No, it wasn't the $9 copy of NBA Live 06 I ordered a month ago, it is a new headset I ordered on Monday!

3. People looking to play static-free XBL game sessions should be on the lookout for me tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon.

4. Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a hoot. Anybody into Marvel comics should pick it up (I'm looking at you edu!) . . . Particularly if you can find it for $15-20.

5. Crossovers occur in webcomics too. Unless you read all of the strips involved, none of them may make sense.

6. Thunderhorse is still my favorite song in Guitar Hero II. Who would have thought?

7. When Lost Planet's Battleground map is released to those of us regular-version owners, I will be playing it. . . regardless of how out-of-practice I am.

8. Day on the Meadow is returning and 104.9 will be bringing They Might Be Giants and Fountains of Wayne to play on July 3rd. Looks like I will be taking some time off.

9. San Diego Comic Convention is less than 7 weeks away. Anybody looking for a Big Lebowski Bobble Head better give me $20 soon. Since SDCC is now two weeks after E3, hopefully many of the E3 demos will be on display at Comic-Con.
