Aside from the exploits that you've been following over the past few days, we've also been playing The Beatles Rock Band, and while the background interactivity is a welcome change from RB's concert hall fare, the game itself is a bit too easy for seasoned players.

Not much else happened today. I was planning to catch up on some "Leverage" and "Dark Blue" but was busy during the day and then watched some tennis in the evening. The wife and I are rooting for Kim Clijsters the day after tomorrow in her match against Serena Williams. It should be a good game.
There are a few "secret" press events happening in the next few weeks, so stay tuned for some interesting coverage, not all of which is positive. :P
