Well it's Tuesday night. I am back in Minnesota again. I took part in the California recall election as many others did, however by absentee ballot.

The weather here has warmed up, it was about 80 degrees today, a big difference from last week which was in the 40s and 50s.

I haven't left a log in the last coupe of days as I have been up to other things.

On one hand I purchased a new video card, the ATI All-in-wonder Radeon 9800. I've been wanting to get one for a long time, and just haven't gotten around to doing so.

I also purchased a game called HALO for the the PC. It's actually a pretty fun game. However, it's nothing compared to Counter-Strike which is my all time favorite FPS (First Person Shooter). It's more like a big melee. There's no strategy in HALO but it's kinda fun to obliterate other players. The single player game is better I think. You really need to play in the full 1600X1280 resolution to appreciate the detailing in the game. Fortunately the video card I have makes that a possibility. I think it actually plays faster in the highest resolution than in the lower ones... Go figure.
