My old buddy Shane and his wife Vicky have just let the world know that they are expecting child numero 2 in February 2006. Their 2-year old Ian, is still a bit confused about the whole pregnancy thing. According to Vicky’s post:
Ian likes to lift my shirt and point to my belly and say ‘baby’. But he also does that to Shane and my dad, so I think he is a little confused by the whole thing!

Jason Dunn got a peek at the XBox 360 the other day and reported about it on his site. To reduce it to some key bullets:
Of additional note – Jason Reports that Ghost Recon 3 rocks.

The Rad Monkey VLC800 is a digital cowbell that simulates the sounds of 12 popular analog cowbells through a high-quality digital signal processor. Will Ferrel and/or The Moody Blues should pick one of these up pronto.Link

PSP firmware v2.0 available: “
The new PSP firmware with embedded web browser (no more need to hack WipeoutPure) is out in the wild now. If you keep up to date with these things then you probably already know about this; the PSP firmware v2.0 update has
been released. Currently it’s only available on the Japanese PSP site so unless you speak Japanese you’ll need to use a
web translator to find the right link. The US version should be out later in the day if you don’t want to take the
risk. One other word of caution – this will wipe out some capabilities for homebrew hacks. I’ll probably patch later tonight and update tomorrow.
