I’ve been playing Battle for Middle Earth 2 lately

I recently picked up Battle For Middle Earth 2 recently for the Xbox 360. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a Real Time Stragety game for a console. I was pleasantly surprised however.

My new PC mouse: The pleasure model

That picture you see is my growing collection of crap computer PC mice. You see, I’ve never taken my computer mouse very seriously. I was ok with paying out $15 for any old mouse that moved the arrow around on my monitor. But I got fed up after my 4th mouse in 3 months stopped working. I couldn’t take it anymore. Along with that I was sick of sore fingers from how hard it is to click the damned things as well. I knew I needed a versatile mouse that wasn’t going to suddenly break. I also know I needed an ergonomic mouse that was easy to use without killing my hand after eight to 10 hours of use per day.

My wife and I made a trip to CompUSA today and I splurged. I forked out $100 for the ultimate pleasure mouse. I introduce to you the Logitech MX Revolution. A mouse, apparently, so revolutionary and advanced that the register clerk at CompUSA commented that I must be a hard-core gamer. All I could say was that I needed it so I could click stuff on my desktop.

This baby features Hyper Fast Scrolling, Smart Shift Technology, Document Quick-Flip, One Touch Search, Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery and is a Cordless Laser. Don’t ask me what all of these features are quite yet as I don’t know. But let me just say that every time I grab a hold of this pleasure mouse it feels like I am sliding around a $100 bill on my desk. I’ll do a more thourough review once I get this baby figured out. For the moment I need to figure out what in the world I can do with this scroll wheel that can also tilt left and right. Any ideas?

Here is a last picture of this pleasure mouse on it’s docking station for recharging. Is it me or does this mouse look like it’s ready to blast off to outer space?

Joost Beta Baby!

Posted by liquilife on 02/26 at 03:13 PM

I woke up this morning with a rather pleasant email. Joost has accepted my beta application and I now have full access to Joost Beta 0.8 release. I have not had a chance to really devote some time to Joost but it seems to be more intuitive then BabelGum right from the beginning. Expect a full review here soon. For now I’m off to enjoy some Joost goodness!

What is Joost? Joost is a new way of watching TV on the internet, which uses new and established technologies to provide the best of both the internet and TV worlds. Joost uses secure peer-to-peer technology to stream programmes to your computer. Unlike other TV and video-based web applications, it does not require users to download any files to the computer or browse through complicated websites.
