I’ve always been interested in trying out the new laser technology for computer mice. I just didn’t want to drop a lot of cash down to try it out. Plus it seemed that most of them are wireless, which I don’t really care too much about asI’ve got lots of room on my desk anyway, so it would just be another factor to drive the price upwards. But I told myself that if I ever found a nice, wired laser mouse that is a cheap price, then I would pick it up and give it a go. If I didn’t like it or think it wasn’t worth the price, I could just bring it back.

So that being said, every week I go down the mice aisle at work to see if anything is on sale. Usually it’s only wireless laser mice going for 40 or 50 bucks or higher. But yesterday it finally happened… A wired laser mouse that was on sale from 70 bucks down to 30 bucks. Not bad. It was a Logitech MX400. I’ve always loved Logitech’s products, so that was another selling point. Plus it had a more comfortable curved design (something I’ve never had before) and a few extra buttons than my current one. So I went for it. It’s actually pretty nice… You can tell it’s more precise, plus it’s definitely a lot more comfortable. Me likey. Though, I’m not going to lie, I was sort of tempted to splurge and pay twenty more bucks for the MX610 as it’s fifty bucks off and has e-mail, IM, and music buttons; three things I use a lot. Hmm…

So the first PS3 box art has been revealed… But some may ask, “It’s just a box, who cares?” If you read the accompanying article with the image, you can see there is actually a few interesting tidbits that show some changes on the PS3 boxes when compared to other box art out there today.

Also, Sony has addressed the shortage of PS3s that will be available at launch. They are still confident that they’ll deliver six million units by the end of the fiscal year… Yeah, I think I’m going to be breaking down and buying one. I just have that feeling. ha. Maybe I’ll use my vacation pay on it, since I never travel anyway…

A teaser trailer for the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale, has been posted online. For those that don’t know, there is a new actor playing Bond (and he’s blond, which seems to spark controversy. ha)… The creators are essentially trying to start the franchise from scratch again, so this movie is supposed to be the “first” James Bond movie. It’s set in modern times and is supposed to be more realistic too, apparently. Anyway, the trailer doesn’t look half bad… Maybe I’ll end up seeing it…

I received a Newsboys EPK in the mail earlier this week which includes two full length songs and snippets of five or six other tracks from the band’s upcoming album, Go. It’s their first pop/rock album in five years. I’m intrigued by what I’ve heard so far as some of the songs are definitely appealing and enjoyable. It’s certainly better than their worship albums. Apparently a full copy is coming by the end of the month… Looking forward to that…

I was experimenting with Flickr the other day, just because I wanted to see what all the excitement surrounding it is. So I uploaded some pictures of what advance copies of big releases look like these days (they almost look like they contain toxic material or something), plus there is a picture of my ever-growing CD pile. But my question to you is this: Should I use Flickr for posting my own pictures on here, or would you prefer me to do it the way I have been doing it already? Let me know.

Well, I should do some Renown work. Or maybe I’ll play a video game first. ha, it’s weird having a Saturday off… I don’t know what to do with myself.

Rock on.
