VIDEO GAMES - Nvidia doing Sony PS3 graphics...

Yup. It's official.

Nvidia link.

What I find interesting here is that if Xbox 2 is running on ATI hardware and so will the next Nintendo home console... and when you think about it it seems like what these three consoles are going to be using is a "next" or "next next" generation gpu from ATI or Nvidia, the hardwares may not be all that different.

So other components of the machine become the differentiator, hardware wise, more than the graphics, which have been traditionally a big differentiator (compare say Genny vs SNES, PS1 vs Saturn, etc).

I wouldn't be surprised Nintendo would be the one to put forward a particular more obvious difference in their console...

VIDEO GAMES - DS not a Virtua Boy...

Please ignore the PSP bashing by Nintendo in this link (Nintendo has often bashed their competitors in press events like these) and concentrate on the Nintendo DS sales figures:

I really think this means the DS will indeed sell (well it already SOLD but I mean like sell as a viable strong platform).  I also wonder about the technology comment.... when you think about it, it makes sense *to an extent*.

MY LIFE - one of the worst parts of breaking up...

One of the worst parts of breaking up is that just mere weeks, days and perhaps even hours you were a special someone... a beacon of cheerful light amongst the crowd and after the breakup you are just one of many... a nameless figure unrecognizable from anyone else yet unique, but like a snowflake amongst a million of them.

Today I have felt depressed. That's right, depressed.  I haven't felt depressed in quite some months now.  But right now as I write this I feel "ok" now.  But I really woke up with feelings of dread, fear for the future, fear of getting out of bed... I recognize this.  I think after all, it was not a good idea to see  my ex yesterday (the new recent ex).  It was a nice conversation and all but really, I need to forget and move on.
