I cannot believe it actually happened. Every since the FIRST Guitar Hero came out, I have wanted this to happen. I even made a post on the official forums (which I can no longer find…) adding this to the song request thread. Mark and I even contemplated writing our own PC version so we could make this happen (our PS2 to USB controller converter didn’t work which foiled our plans… haha).

Anyways, it is now done. I can die in peace. ;)

Top Gun Anthem for Guitar Hero III.

This company is awesome. =) The rest of the photos: Lake Party and All Hands/Field Day. I will also be the official photographer for our first Social Commerce Summit later this month, which I am looking forward to going to!

I went looking for a Firewire cable for Mac to Mac target disk mode usage today and hit up Wal-Mart and Radio Shack. I went to an HEB Plus! too, but wasn’t really expecting them to have it… they had pretty much the same selection as Wal-Mart and Radio Shack though. None of them had 6-pin to 6-pin Firewire cables.

The guy at Radio Shack that tried to help me didn’t even know what Firewire was. He asked me what it was used for and when I replied “computers,” he asked me what it plugged into and I replied “uhh… Firewire ports.” After that, he asked me if it was an internal or external cable. At that point, I probably gave him a face that said “move out of my way and let me look for it myself since you obviously don’t know what I’m talking about” so he just pointed me towards the computer cables section.

Is Firewire really that rare now? Shouldn’t at least Radio Shack have them?

I finally ventured into a Circuit City and paid way too much for the cable I was looking for.

In other news, Kat tells me that Round Rock Donuts’ drive through is now open 24 hours. That is absolutely splendid news.

I hate it when this happens!

Just got done grabbing all the pics from my CF cards of Angell and Eunice’s wedding… got over 800 pics, so it’ll be a while. =)

Hello my poor blog!

I’ve been trying to find a picture of my WoW gnome, Powderpuff, but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have a screenshot of my pink haired gnome? =) Almost makes me tempted to reactivate so I can take a screenshot…

I recently purchases a macro lens that is quite fun to use, although I haven’t shot with it all that much yet. I posted a few shots with it previously, but here are a few more:

I also purchased GRAW2 for Andrew (as well as a copy for myself) and we’ve been playing through the co-op missions which has been pretty entertaining. I agree with Mark that it would probably be more fun with a keyboard and mouse, but there’s just no beating the convenience of multiple people playing on one 360 (and over Xbox Live) and not having to arrange a LAN party (… which we should do sometime =).

Oh… by the way, anyone want to buy a black MacBook (2GHz, 2GB RAM, 120GB HD)?

Endless Setlist:

While we were playing the Endless Setlist, our drums’ foot pedal snapped in half because it could not handle our awesomeness. That did not stop us, however, as we resorted to restoring its usefulness by hacking up our pizza box:
