Xfire Hat Winner!

This past Wednesday I attended a developer chat through Xfire with the development team behind ATI. You get to ask all sorts of questions and the team answers them. Anyway, here’s a little snippet of the prize winners. Although I didn’t win the X1900 graphics card, I won a really nice looking hat! “[IronChef]Chinese” is my screenname though Xfire.

Prison Break Episode 4 Recap

Intro

Back to another exciting week with our convict buddies. To my dismay Haywire hasn’t made an appearance yet, but instead we see the return of Abruzzi, Tweener, and T-Bag. We also have futher integration of Dr. Tancredi and “Lance” Kellerman into the main storyline. Lastly the first death of the Fox River Eight happens. As always everyone has their funny moments.

Is next week the time we’ll finally see Haywire? I hope so because he’s a lot more interesting than the dumb Tweener. Indications are that Sucre and C-Note will probably make an appearance as well to balance out the story. Will we ever find out who Shales is? Stay tuned next week for the “Fox River Seven”‘s continuing escape.

Bush with Translator Little Richard

So I didn’t have enough time to put up the Prison Break recap for this week yet. It should be done pretty soon. In the mean time, here’s a video of President Bush being translated by Little Richard.

Where were you on September 11?

Today marks the 5th anniversery of the tragedy at the World Trade Center.  Where were you when you heard about it?  I was coming back from CMSC 106 when I heard the news.  Then a week later, a tornado ripped though College Park. :(
