Spore™
Sep 8th
Spore™ is finally out. I purchased the game yesterday and played it for several hours. It is awesome. You start off as a little microscopic creature floating around eating. You gain DNA points to get bigger, smarter and add parts. Eventually you evolve out of the water and on to the land. You become allies with other creatures or wipe them off the globe. I am only a few hours in but I know eventually I will be in outer-space taking over other planets. It is a lot like every sims game crammed together into an evolutionary masterpiece. Check it out.

Starting next Tuesday Home Depot will start taking Compact Fluorescents back for recycling. The bulbs are a no brainer when it comes to energy savings and how long they last. They do however contain trace amounts of mercury. I’m sure other large chains will follow in Home Depots foot steps.
The Netflix Player by Roku
May 20th

Netflix just got a whole lot better. I just ordered this new Neflix Player box from Roku. I haven’t been able to watch Netflix’s Instant movies since I have a mac. Now I can watch the 10,000 movies and tv shows instantly on my tv. The box costs 99 dollars and as long as you have a unlimited Netflix account there is no additional cost. Sweet.

The decision came after an overwhelming positive feedback from IKEA customers, who voted over 92% to take their “bag the plastic bag” program one step further and ditch plastic bags altogether.”
