Love the links? Kick off some conversations about them.

• 24 Hours Later… Sony Still Working on PS3 Firmware 2.40
• Wii Fit - Nobody Uses It?
• Video: Bo Jackson - Tecmo Super Bowl Run
• R/C Mini Car is the smallest racing car you have ever seen
• Rubber 'snake' could help wave power get a bite of the energy market
• Robot made entirely of styrofoam
• 11 Websites To Save You Cash During The Recession
• Dashboard widget: Organized brings the productivity pain
• Five Best Windows Maintenance Tools
• 1.8GHz SSD MacBook Air Drops $500
• Videos: Grand Theft Auto 4 Stunts
• DualShock 3 And Xbox 360 Frankencontrollers (How cool is that?!)
• Home "on schedule" for autumn

So, again last night, for the longest time, I tried to capture. Grabbed the captures fine, but the files, even after conversion, were entirely too big. Behindshadows2 has notified me of a few things to try and I'll be calling him tonight, to get it squared away. Thanks bro!

Today is filled w/ car shopping for the wifee, then watching the fireworks display. Should be an interesting day, filled w/ haggling salesman.

For those that celebrate this day, have a safe and happy 4th of July.

What's up with you?

• QOTD: Got any plans for the 4th of July weekend?

Happy Birthday to the following OS'ers!

QOTD: Supposed to be going to the beach today but the weather is not looking too promising.
I also plan to barbeque, I have some Tuna steaks that are looking to get singed!


Good luck on with the car shopping Steve! I have to do it twice. Just finished getting one for the wife and I am due in August!

Knew about the "5 Best Windows Tools" already, but for anyone that doesn't have them and use them on a regular basis, great link.

Good find on those 11 sites to save money during the recession, the Open Bar Finder is as the guy says! Too bad I don't live in NYC.

I have decided to get a Wii over the PS3, my wife is actually really excited about the Wii Fit. I will make her a gamer yet!

QOTD: Well we were going to go tubing today, but well the weather doesn't appear to be cooperating with those plans. Tomorrow there is the family party on my Mother-in-law's side, Sunday there is a party on my Father-in-law's side. Unfortunately the Sunday party is all the way up in Ascutney, Vermont, like 90 minutes from here. I wanted to go find a TRU to go Wii hunting first, maybe in the morning I guess.

QOTD: Family stuff today, BBQ, swimming, golf, fireworks, beer, rock band............GREAT day planned.

I think its ridiculous that people supposedly dont even use the WIi Fit. My girlfriend and I have been searching for one every week since it has been released. And yet, it is always sold out. If people dont use it, sell it back or sell it to other people at the normal price instead of the ludicrous prices its going for right now.

QOTD: Nothing. WOrking in a restaurant sucks for this reason. I have to work tonight. Lame
