Windows 7


Well I was trying to play with the Windows 7 RC1. I had XP and was going to dual boot XP & Win7. But, when I tried to partition my hard drive I accidentally clicked 2 things that I didn't want to click in a row. Which of course, erased my HD. So I decided I'd just install Windows 7 since I was going to play with it anyways. And of course it couldn't be that easy, turns out the Win7 DVD I burned was a coaster. So I had to borrow some one else's computer to burn another one. Then got it working after that. And I gotta say I'm really liking Windows 7 so far. Only trouble I've had with it after I got it installed, was it not detecting my sound card, but updated drivers fixed that.

DSi & Henry Hatsworth


I recently picked up a DSi and Henry Hatsworth.
Gotta say I love the DSi. The screen is brighter and more vibrant than my old DS Phat.
I am loving Henry Hatsworth so far, it's a great mix between platforming and puzzle. Addicting and frustrating at the same time, like any great game.

American vs UK Cover Art

Being from America, I've never seen UK book covers before.
I was browsing through Amazon.co.uk's Book section and noticed how much better most of the UK cover art is compared to the American counter parts.
Here are a couple examples I came across.


The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
by Stieg Larsson

US Cover VS UK Cover


The Book Thief
by Markus Zusak
