Buying Music

With all the p2p programs out there, and internet radio, who buys music anymore?

I do!

Here are the latest albums I bought online (iTunes) that I recommend checking out:
Anyone have any recommendations that made them put their money down?

Sailing in the SF bay

Today I went out with my colleagues to go sailing in the San Francisco bay! It was a little reward for having performed so well in the last quarter, and much appreciated. We headed out from pier 39, sailed around Alcatraz, and then swooped through an aquatic park before returning to harbour.

Once we landed we had a couple beers, enjoyed the sun, and called it a day. I think I should have done this when my parents came to visit!

Enjoy the short video of the excursion:

Ginza Bazaar 2008

Today I enjoyed watching a Buddhist festival here in San Francisco. One of the advantages of living in the city!

Finished MGS4

Thanks to Microsoft, and their amazing live search cashback promotion, I picked up a Playstation 3 bundle from Ebay. It cost me $700, but I expect to get a 35% cashback cheque from Microsoft for $250!

Anyway, so I physically picked it up from the post office last Saturday and was very impressed. Full 1080p graphics, integrated wireless internet access, and easy access to media stored on my desktop computer.

Enough about the PS3 and it's goodness, the real story is Metal Gear Solid 4, which was an absolute dream to play. The story will probably baffle you in its complexity, especially if you are not familiar with the 3 previous "next-generation" installments, but it is so satisfying. The gameplay is also really deep, fun, and offers a lot of variety.

Check out the 2 minute long trailer on youtube.
