GTA? Really?

Monday, April 28th, 2008

I have a few other things to catch up on and post about still, but everyone seems to be talking about Grand Theft Auto IV and it’s release tomorrow. Somehow, this release tomorrow has even managed to eclipse the MarioKart Wii release that it happening tomorrow! I concede that I’m not the gamer that I [...]

Concert Tickets

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

I totally understand how 16000 seat venues can sell-out in just a few minutes these days: pre-sales. I bought tickets for a show late last week, as part of one of these pre-sales… one of the many pre-sale opportunities. Let’s review:
