Some of this information will be duplicated in my daily links post from del.icio.us tomorrow morning, but I find it irritating enough that I should say something about it.
What an… interesting day today in the format war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Disc. I found out about it via a Twitter post from Microsoft’s Major [...]

Since I was out of town on business and busy with many other things over a period of a few weeks recently, I found that I had somehow managed to “unplug” a little bit, and haven’t been doing much in the way of playing games since then. It’s actually been rather nice to not be [...]

As I’m sure more of the Internet will soon discover, the pricing mistake mentioned earlier in this space that I had hoped to take advantage of is no more:

Several groups have since tried to start up ARGs, only to have them [...]

Yeah, so I’ve got one.
Achernar Dni’s Gamer card
People who have any kind of access to Xbox Live who read this regularly are required by some sort of obscure law to add me to their friends list immediately. I will respond rather quickly, since I’m trying to build my friends list at this point.
The obvious [...]

Just a reminder that my Gamertag is:
The Markel
That is all.

I’ll be getting to that Slashdot post soon, as I only have a few more major assignments left to go before I’m done for the quarter.

Since I allowed my XBL subscription to lapse last year (I didn’t have broadband for more than half my vicarage year), I have had to change my Gamertag, which makes me only slightly upset.
I have lost my normal online nick, whether it has been taken by someone else, or locked because I failed to pay [...]
