F EB
I was all excited to get Civilization 4 today...called EB yesterday (I pre-ordered it of course), they said "oh yeah it will definately be in the store tomorrow". So one would think when I went to pick it up at lunch today they would have it...
...except NO, they did not. I got the generic "yeah that game ships today and we should have it tomorrow, we have some other good games that came out today though, but you probably would not be interested in them". What, am I too old for the latest new WW2 squad-based shooter for PS2?
Disapointed and insulted. Thanks a ton EB!

Massachusetts and OpenDocument
So in case you haven't read the latest on this on-going battle between our friends in the Commonwealth and our not-so-good friends in the Microsoft Office division:

First off, though some of these ZDnet stories are more sensationalism than journalism, I do applaud them for keeping up with this ongoing story...none of the other sites (tech news or normal newsites) have picked up much on this since the opening of the story.
Let me say that I do not believe this process is 'on the rocks', but rather that you need to realize that this, being the state, is going to be a very long and slow process to go through all the necessary meetings and approvals. You know how slow large companies are to get any policy changes approved? Multiply that by 1000 and thats how things work in state government :-)
I do find cause for concern with Galvin's quote:
One might start to wonder if the Microsoft FUD engine has snared it's first victim...

"We will be counseling all our agencies, as well as the executive branch agencies, that that is not the policy of the Commonwealth."Galvin's office did not provide any further explanation about the reasons for their objections.

Age of Empires III: First Impressions
(Based on one game of multiplayer last night)
Solid, fun game for multiplayer. A little confusing with a lot of the upgrades, and the effect of trade on the game (seems to be a race for whomever gets the most trading posts, but maybe that was just the map we played). For some reason, multiplayer would not let me zoom out too far, maybe because of the map size? This was the biggest annoyances as I was constantly scrolling around my town buildings to build/upgrade.
Ships are AWESOME...they look so freakin' good. Also you can hunt whales for gold, which though ethically challenging really helps your economy. I know the whales aren't real, but still...
All in all it looks fun, and will certainly tide me over until Civ4 drops next Tuesday.

Enough with the shots
So because going to Northeastern one day a week somehow qualifies me as a "full-time" student, I had to go get my immunizations updated yesterday...and again in a month...and then a month after that.
Good news ladies! I am Hepatitis and Tetanus free now!
