christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! I hope Santa left everyone something nice under their tree. Hopefully you were good little boys and girls so you deserve what you got under the tree. As you know I am such a good boy that even though I didn't set up a Christmas tree this year I got a nice Sony Playstation3 dropped down my chimney.


Sony also dropped a great gift on all the PS3 owners this weekend -- the Gran Turismo HD Concept demo was released on the 23rd and it's completely free!
As you can see from these screenshots, the graphics are pretty amazing. The cars look photorealistic, and in high-definition 720p or 1080i the game is fantastic!

And I got some really cool gifts from my family as well. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard set to use with the PS3; I got a 600-chip poker set in a killer aluminum carrying case (them chips are heavy man!); a nifty little device that helps me look up cocktails. So I'm totally set for this holiday season, I've got gaming, gambling, and drinking. All I need is a crew of tough guys and I can open my own casino.

But let's not forget that Christmas is not all about presents and cool gadgets. More importantly it's about spending time with your family and loved ones, and celebrating the Christmas spirit together. In my family that usually involves obscene amounts of food, but still, family comes first. Followed closely behind by lots and lots of prime rib, and lobster ... oh man I'm still stuffed from last night.

Season's Greetings!
