Today I think

Today I think,  generally speaking, people are good.  I also believe that if push come to shove we could become united once again as a country for the people, of the people and by the people.  Or something like that. I feel this tonight as I post this for two reasons.  One is, oddly enough, due to the recent viewing of No Country For Old Men.  Second is this video. Good Night and my peace find you.

Leopard

I’ll be upgrading to Leopard today. Why am I mentioning this? Cause out of the 300+ ‘new features’ the biggest one I’m looking for is TinyMCE support in Safari 3. Right now when I’m writting a post in Safari 2.0 I don’t get all the cool editing features. All I get is this:

In fact, most posts are written while using Firefox. Shhh! Don’t tell anyone. I’m always defending Safari and if they find out I use Firefox I’ll have my membership revoked!

Halo 3 Gives Me More Stats!

I’m a stat hound. I run iStat Menus to check how much memory and processor is being used. I check Google Analyitics daily on the site I maintain at work. And now I can track my stats when playing Halo 3! They have some pretty detailed stats on the games I’ve played, the weapons I use, my progress in Campaign (Single player) and even the military ranking I’ve achieved.

You can even playback any online games and record clips to share with your buddies on Xbox Live. Bluring the line of the internet experience on the Xbox is the ability to capture full resolution screenshots of any game you’ve played. They are available to view on your profile page on Bungie.net. I’m really impressed with intergration and the number of items being tracked by Halo 3 while your playing the game. That has to add some decent overhead which is amazing as Halo 3 is on of the nicest looking games on the 360.
