What is up with the weather. High 70's one day, the next it's 30. Weathermen call for rain, it's sunny, they call for clear skies, we get dumped on. Have I mentioned how I love weathermen? Worthless...

After reading that hands on GTA4 article at Kotaku, I can barely control myself. Maybe I'll actually get more than a few hours of gaming time out of this version.

What's up with you?

• QOTD: Who is the best athlete in the world?

Whats up? Another day at work, only 394820384230 more to go

QOTD: Its hard to argue for or against someone, but id have to say Tiger. Dude's a machine. But youd have to watch certain peopple play various sports to determine, could be a fun show

My wife just called to tell me she got a very nice raise for next school year, so that got the day off to a good start.

QOTD: Gotta go with LeBron. A guy his size should not be as fast or agile as he is.

QOTD: wow great question, I look at it as straight up athletic ability, not most successful person who plays sports. A guy like Rick Ankiel comes to mind. He may be a head case but being able to be a successful MLB pitcher then basically starting over again and a couple years later becoming a solid Centerfielder is an amazing athletic feat. I'll stay true to my hockey roots though and go with Evgeni Malkin. Hockey players are the best athletes in the world and right now I think Malkin is the best in the NHL. Give him a year maybe two of non stop training and practice and I bet he could play any sport.
If best means most successful then it's probably Tiger.

QOTD: JULIUS PEPPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
