So for my birthday I ended up using money given to me to purchase an Apple iBook. I can now compute in bed. I also picked up an XM radio and stuff so I can listen to Ron and Fez when they move on over.

So I've been playing a lot of Gran Turismo 4 since I picked it up a week ago. It's much better than 3 and the choice of cars are amazing.

I picked up Xenosaga 2 today. I'll be playing that for a few weeks. Or until I pick up GT4.

I recently bought a Polaroid 7" Widescreen Portable DVD Player - PDV-0700 and it's pretty damn cool, a nice wide crisp screen and a host of features make it nice to watch.

My most recent purchases, and look quite nice on it.

My new iPod has come and damn is it ever tiny. Though it's slightly taller than my old iPod it's depth is the same height as the “metal” part on my old iPod, so it's much thinner.

Etan has this to say about Apple's announcement of the iPod Photo:

I may actually decide to update my 20GB second generation iPod. It won’t be for a while, though. I am quite broke.

[Via TooMuchSexy.blog.]

I have the same iPod, a 2nd gen 20GB, however I am not too broke, have a car that runs and a job where one paycheck covers the cost of the iPod so I ordered one. I didn't get a fancy iPod Photo. Instead I picked up a standard 40GB iPod with free laser engraving.

Nice eh?

While it's no secret I like toys and like Gundam it's been a long time since I've found Gundam toys of the original Gundam series. That's changed recently.

I found a nice store over in Greenbelt that carries the basic Gundam action figure toys. So far I've picked up a lot of them.

I picked up one of the more impressive McFarlane toys releases. Final discounted price was under ten dollars. Originally retailed for 30 dollars.

Bought a new toy today.

Since I already have the Gundam, have a somewhat action pose.

Female designed prototype.

Hi-lights include a front hood that lifts up from the body, gull wing doors, and an engine that knows when it needs its oil changed. Oh, it's also a 200+ hp Gas/Electric hybrid.

Volvo is also racing a modified S60 R in the SPEED World Challenge GT Series. Volvo's first foray into the US auto racing scene. Apparently Volvo has a nice history of winning racing series. They have titles in a European series, British series and an Australian series, now will they take America too?
