_Finally Got My Blog Going and Twitter Hooked Up

My blog has been down for some time now.  I was hosted with 1and1.com on a .NET platform using BlogEngine.NET.  It was pretty cool.  No real complaints but I work in .NET all day so I am pretty fluent with it.  There has been more buzz re: PHP and WordPress so for about a year now I have been playing with both.  What better way to gain skills in something then to try to use it almost every day.  So I moved from 1and1.com over to GoDaddy.com to save a little money and work in PHP more.

So far so good.  At some point I will load my old posts but no rush.  Now just integrating my Twitter with my blog.

_The Beatles: Rock Band – My Review

I have been playing Rock Band for about a year now.  I started off with Rock Band 2 and had a blast.  Rockin’ out to some all time favorites and pretending you are good at singing…how can it get any better.  Well, take that fun and add in some Beatles and you get it.

The moment I heard it(The Beatles Rock Band) was coming out I was excited.  A few reasons, I like The Beatles (who doesn’t) and the songs are a bit more family friendly and party friendly.  It is hard to rock out with the kids with Judas Priest.

My first impression of the game was WOW.  They got it right.  I am not a ‘fanatic’ of the group, I have not followed them every step of the way, but you can tell they just got it correct.  From colors, to pictures, to transitions, everything was perfect.  The intro sequence to the game was something you would see on VH1.  Totally awesome.

The game play is the same as Rock Band so I wont go into that, except Story mode gives you a little more purpose in playing the game.  Following in the footsteps of The Beattles from Liverpool to Shea Stadium to beyond.  That is pretty neat.  Photos and clips mixed in make it over all an awesome experience.

I am extremely happy and pleased and can’t wait until tonight to play again.

_Fantasy Football Draft Tonight

That is correct.  For year 9 I will be in yet another Fantasy Football League.  This year we will be using ESPN.  We moved away from FOX Sports which was one of the worst web leagues ever.  The content was pretty bad too.  So far we have been impressed with ESPN rankings and customization.  It is almost on par with the “pay” leagues like CBS.

I have 9th pick in the Snake Draft so I will be waiting a long time after my second pick.  That is my dilema.  I am going to grab a running

back (hopefully Drew is there still) then is it a QB or WR for second pick.  Who knows…
