Jay Talbot’s Ramblings

I’ve had my iPod for a while now, and it’s a nice toy. I’m using it a lot, especially in my truck, with the iPod adapter to my HD Radio. It’s really a sweet deal. I’ll be poor for a while now, but happy none the less. I’m even thinking about replacing some of my less quality mp3’s with new copies from iTunes. I figure I can burn an audio CD’s with iTunes, then rip them to iso files for safe keeping. After all, CD-R’s are only usable for about 2 years with normal use, 5 years if you don’t touch them in a climate controlled environment.

Ok, so I was reading something the other day, I think it was about D&D. Well, the way my mind works, I made the connection from D&D to Wizards of the Coast, as such they also make the Magic: The Gathering CCG. I got to thinking about those days, and how they weren’t so bad.

I’ve been thinking about starting it up again, but there’s not really any place around here to actually play. There are plenty of places to buy the cards, just no place that does tournaments, or even regular game play. I’m beginning to wonder if I should actually organize a M:TG tournament myself, but that’s a lot of work and would probably be pretty expensive. We’ll see how things go I guess….

Yes, it’s true. I’ve been a bad boy. I bought a truck finally, which was a huge need actually. Not bad, right? Well, I wanted a something other than a tape player/radio in there. This is where it get’s interesting….

I got the net and looked around at different radios, and myself being lazy, found one at Best Buy that had a lot of bells and whistles that they would install for nothing. So I trot my butt down there to look at it inperson. Well, they were out of the one I wanted, so I went to see if Circuit City had it. Nope! They didn’t. That sucked.
