I got some really useful BBQ tools. I guess my parents want me to cook some more food for them.

I got some silicone oven mitts similar to these, that should make things easier when loading and unloading my CookShack Smoker. I got a chef apron to help me stay clean. I got a book called Paul Kirk’s Championship Barbecue Sauces. I will have to test some of those recipes out for sure. I also got a couple bags of wood chips.

I got some clothes, which is always good. I also got Spider-man 3 Woohoo!!! And I can always count on my Grandparents to get me a season of Stargate SG1 on DVD. They got me season 9. I also got Beethoven’s Last Night by Trans-Siberian Orchestra which I am listening too as I write this. Plus a bunch of other useful stuff. And its always a good gift to spend time with family.

I hope your Christmas was as good as mine.

For those of you still out there that need gifts. Check out the links to your right. You can still email an Amazon gift card, or Amazon mp3’s to your friends and family.

I hope you are not one of those people.

Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) recently agreed to reduce their Registrar Transaction Fee from $.25 to $.22. The best part is, this goes back to July 1 2006. You just saved $.03 - $.06 without even doing anything. Doesn’t that make you happy? Your domain registrar should credit you the amount you are due. If they don’t, you should contact them. I have three domains registered, so I saved $.18 for 2006 and 2007. I can go out any buy that candy I have been dreaming about for the past 2 years*sarcasm*. Now you know how to make money without even trying.

No surprise here. The Nintendo Wii beat out the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 in sales.

US sales figures from market research company NDP Group show that the Wii continues to dominate sales of next generation consoles.

Sales information for March 4 to April 7 showed that 259,000 Wiis were sold, compared to 199,000 Xbox 360s and 130,000 Playstation 3s. - Gamer.Blorge.com

I knew from the start that the Nintendo Wii was going to be a killer system, but I didn’t think it had enough to beat out both the 360 and the PS3. Even more amazing is that it is still really hard to find a Wii in stock in stores. I am not what you call a hardcore gamer, and that’s the best thing about Nintendo; they make games fun for everyone. I going to pick up a copy of Super Paper Mario soon, the game looks so cool.
