What is going on with the Season Finale of my Sports Podcast? IT IS COMING!!! I am having some issues with the recording. I get getting so pissed about this, I do not know what to do. I AM NOT GIVING UP!

So I taped Grey’s Anatomy for Heather. There was NO SOUND! WTF? I cannot believe that the one show we watch did not have sound. I am REALLY PISSED OFF!

Usually I do not get pissed about losing at poker… but I am… I had COLD CARDS ALL NIGHT! Shit happens though. I have had a lot of nights were I had HOT cards.

If I can be serious for a moment… I am not mad… I just needed to vent for a second. Dave won the game and bought me food. It was a win; win situation.

Pearl Jam will release “World Wide Suicide,” the first single off their as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2002′s Riot Act album, in mid-March. A 15-second clip of the raucous track was sent out to U.S. radio stations Friday. PJ reportedly will issue their upcoming CD – the band’s first studio effort for its new label, J Records – on May 2. A tour is expected to follow this year.

Am I in the right job? I have been wondering this for a while. Subtracting the tough times we have had, I am still going to say yes. I an never wondering if a job is going to be there in the morning. I also have a set number of hours amongst other things.

Did I make the right choice?

Yes.

Recently, Nintendo of America’s Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing Reggie Fils-Aime revealed to tech blog Engadget that over a thousand Revolution controller development kits have been sent out to various studios. In a follow-up story, IGN spoke with developers about these kits regarding their power, price and functionality.

The developers stated that the console’s SDK costs a relatively meager $2000. By comparison, the PlayStation 2 SDK was priced about $20,000 per kit at the console’s launch. Even the original PlayStation’s SDK weighed in between $4000-5000 at the beginning of that system’s life span. Notably, the inexpensive nature of the SDK is in line with Nintendo’s goal of lowering development costs.

Apparently, developers have cycled through three development kit revisions. The first development kit was a GameCube console with a wired Revolution controller attached. The second was similar, with a few minor tweaks. The third prototype, shipped out approximately a month ago, adhered to the same structure, but also showed some boosts in CPU power. The latest kit, sent out to only top publishers, displays a more ‘next-generation’ snapshot and comes with a wireless Revolution controller. However, for uncommitted third parties, it will be several weeks before they receive this kit.

Developers preparing playable Revolution software for E3 2006 will soon be receiving the fourth SDK which should provide 90-95% of the final system’s achievable performance. According to IGN’s development sources, final developments kits are expected to be made widely available around June of this year.

A number of software houses admitted that studios familiar with GameCube achitecture would find little difficulty in getting their Revolution projects up and running with due speed. In regards to Revolution’s horsepower, many developers were finding it to be quite sufficient, also saying that the uniqueness of the controller made up for any lower amount of raw power.

On a final note, most studios working on Revolution titles think the console could retail under $200 US, possibly as low as $150.

Revolution Report will have more information as it comes to light.

It started around 12am this morning. I woke up and started to clean. I cleaned until 2am. I ended up waking up at 7am. I told Heather Good-Bye and started my work-out. I hate doing it, but I want to lose a couple of pounds. Now… I am at work… It is going to be a LONG day!

For the 2 wrestling fans that are still out there, please watch this PPV. All I can say is… WOW… wow… The show from top to bottom was REALLY good. Even Undertaker had a good match. Even taker had a good match? Yes. Goto wwe.com for all the results.

Now I am watching Raw… So far it is sub-par to say the least.
