Time to create a Guitar Hero tag....

I just ran across an article announcing Guitar Hero World Tour . I am guessing this is actually Guitar Hero 4 since they talk about the addition of the drum kit and vocals. I think the battle of the band feature sounds cool though I would like to see

Guitar Hero 4....

I am a BIG Guitar Hero fan. I have been playing about a year now ever since I stumbled onto the game at a Microsoft training seminar. I started with Guitar Hero 2 for the XBox 360. It took me about 6 months to get through the whole game on Expert. I never

Great new Microsoft Spoof video.....

There have been some funny spoof videos over the years, but this is one of the best. It is also the single most star studded video (that I have seen us do). And it is long! Clear the next 7 minutes.....and laugh out loud...it's good for you! Bill Gates’

More Zuny Goodness....

I am a BIG fan of the Zunes -  have three in our house for two people. Sure....I drink the Kool-Aid, but I think the Zune is a bad ass little music/video/picture player and it serves my purposes perfectly. I have been patiently awaiting the new Zune

Red Zuny Goodness...other Zuny things...

My house now has three Zunes - White Zune for the wife and Black Zune for me. Red is my favorite color. Even though I already have Black Zune, I had to get Red Zune just because. It isn't the red I expected or wanted, but it has already grown on me since

Microsoft Surface....wow....

I know I am not the first person to post about Microsoft Surface , but I am not going to not post about it just because of that. This is a product that will take us closer to full interactive computing. Think Matrix + Minority Report + Real Life (sorry....for

The RIAA is on the attack....again....and my fix for their problem...

I just read yet another article on how the RIAA sent out letters to university students threatening to sue those who have downloaded and shared music without paying for it unless they pay a settlement. I have seen dozens of similar articles over the past
