Saturday Speedlinkin
This is something new that I’m gonna give a whirl on here. Up until now, I haven’t given my fellow bloggers much credit when it came to the excellent posts they write. But nowadays, I read a lot of posts a week and lots of them are just pure money.
So starting today, if I happen upon a post I really like, you’ll see it here on Saturday’s. And if there’s a post you’re particularly proud of, feel free to let me know about it too!
- Smackdown: Comments vs Cocomment by Mark- Mark writes a fantastic post about these two head to head, and I’m glad he did so because despite what cocomment SHOULD do, I’ve been under impressed with its actual performance which is really too bad since for a blogger, it should be a killer go to tool.
- Crap Happens by BBM - Before I became a father, I loved all the zainy things kids do and say. When I became a father, I appreciated them even more. This is one of many posts by BBM that just makes you smile because of what her kids say. (#):)
- How to Get Rid of Writer’s Block by Casey - We all suffer from writer’s block from time to time and Casey tells us how we can power out of it. My favorite suggestion : “Look at How Much Money You’ve Made”. Ha ha ha!
- Something Besides Aliens by Mike - Everyone loves Mike and I’m no exception. But besides being one of the friendlier guys you’re gonna meet on the net, he’s also one of the more talented. And though most of us may know him by his Gummy drawings, he does create other art too!
- PS3 vs XBox 360 Comparison Part 1 by Matt - For a lot of us, PS3 and 360 are pretty expensive. Expensive enough that many of us don’t have both. And if you’re wondering what you’re missing, you should check out this series of articles. If you’re not interested just check out this guy’s design and portfolio. Sometimes I just go to his site to look at it. (#):)

I wish cocomment would get their act together. I know it would make my life a heck of a lot easier

P.S whenever I submit a comment I get a blank screen

The article about PS3 actually being cheaper than the Xbox 360 is very interesting, but I don’t understand the need for Wi-fi in a video game system, they’re not portable. Plus, now that the HD-DVD price dropped to 179.99 the 360 would come to 816 versus 775 (ps3 with no discount), and the 360 has double the hard drive space. So to me, the 360 is worth it.
I am planning to get an HD-DVD drive for 360 pretty soon btw, before the ‘5 free HD-DVDs’ deal goes away.

@Apexad - Good points and way to be on top of things. But I’ll say that in the HD-DVD vs BluRay war, it seems like HD-DVD isn’t doing so well. I believe BR is outselling HD-DVD by 2 by 1 and Blockbuster (and I think Circuit City) also have decided to just do BluRay. (I may be wrong on Circuit City).
