The internet service has been down in the office for the past few hours, and while technicians have been at it for a while now, it seems that the service outage may last for a bit longer. Luckily, there are a few unsecured wi-fi connections in the area who have agreed to let us hop on ... well, if they only knew, that is!
Prior to the internet going down, I was going to keep it rather short, as one of my favorite guitar players passed away yesterday. Gary Moore, also known for having played with
Thin Lizzy, died in his sleep yesterday while on vacation in Estepona, Spain. Influenced by artists such as
Albert King,
Elvis Presley,
The Beatles, as well as
Jimi Hendrix, Moore has been one of my favorite blues/rock guitarist (and he does lead vocals as well) ever since I heard
Victims of the Future in 1984.

As predicted, we didn't get anything done this weekend, no cmputer assembling, no trip to the movie theatre, nothing but being lazy, taking naps, run a few errands and watch TV, such as Blue Bloods, The Cape, Bones, and Supernatural.
As you can tell, no football fans over here, so the Super Bowl was totally lost on us, but congrats to all the Green Bay Packers fans for their victory over the Steelers, EA's
Madden NFL 2011 prediction fumbled and didn't get it right this time.
Not much else going on atm, maybe I should start making our GDC schedule, I shudder at the thought, and the fact that GDC means E3 is not far behind ...
