Ah, how the time flies...

I was originally going to post something about the New Xbox Live Experience and how cool it is or how much of a fanboy I am, but I figured that I would just tell that in one long run-on sentence that just won't seem to be going anywhere at first, but you will all see.

Phew.

Let us examine something. Microsoft has "fanboys". That statement is pretty monumental when you think about it. After all, it's MICROSOFT! Doesn't everyone hate them because they rule the computing world with a Monopoly like fist? Aren't they the harbingers of the Blue Screen of Death? Not to mention the myriad of issues with the Xbox 360 systems. Microsoft has only had 2 consoles to date. Sony has had 3 and Nintendo has had 5. It is understandable for people to have a deep devotion to one of those companies. They've been around forever and you've probably played/owned multiple consoles/handhelds from each of them. Microsoft comes on the scene in 2001 and by 2008 has a larger install base than Sony? WTF?! I think the fact that Microsoft has fanboys is awesome and shows what those people under Mr. Gates can do with a little bit of drive and need.

Too much time...

They gave us too much time.

That phrase will forever be burned in my brain as the coolest comment from any college football player. This was uttered by Graham Harrell when asked about his amazing minute and 29 second scoring drive to win the Texas Tech/Texas game.

Too much time?

What can you do in a minute and a half? Here is a list of things I could do in a minute and a half:
1. Brush my teeth
2. Drink a glass of chocolate milk
3. Urinate profusely from said chocolate milk
4. Sell a reserve or subscription to a customer
5. Get dressed
6. Get undressed
7. Pet a cat
8. Make a phone call
9. Simple algebra equations
10. Make a list of things I could do in a minute and a half

What do you think about that? Well, I don't see 'Win a completely insane and intense football game in front of millions of viewers'. Maybe that's just me. I'm not Texas Tech and I'm not Graham Harrell. He's going to get lucky tonight. Maybe he'll take longer than a minute and a half.
