I got Rock Band 2 for my family this Christmas, the rig in a box, wireless guitar, drums, mic and game disk in a big box. I have to say it was a big hit. Once I hooked it into the big screen and 5.1 surround system in the family room it was all over. We can't seem to stop playing it. The drums are somewhat realistic to playing a real trap set. The guitar playing is so silly it is fun. Now the vocal bars that scroll across the top really keep you on key. So be sure to check out my show when I come to your town.

My new blog is using Microsoft Office SharePoint Services (MOSS) 2007. I have seen Microsoft SharePoint blogs quickly become very popular among the blogging community.
I have never been much of a blogger. I hear the word blog almost daily, referred to many times as the Blogosphere. I just want to be a part of it. The great thing about blogging is that it has a community feeling. It's an informal post, a comment, an idea, a criticism, or even shout-out to the world.
Blogging has become so much more than a fad, a hobby, or even a broad-brush community. It has revolutionized how quickly people can share their thoughts, ideas, insight, - Information. I cannot count the number of times I have found the answer I was looking for right in someone else's blog. All made possible by great improvements in search engine technology, the task of finding information contained within these blogs has become so easy, easier than I could have ever imagined as a teenager in the 80's. I think back to my days in elementary school and middle school and how I used to research and write my school reports and projects. Back then, all the information I needed was in a 20 volume set encyclopedia. If it wasn't in there my next option was the school or local library. These were and still are great resources for formally publish information. I wish to give a little back where I can.
Now when it comes to writing, I am not very good. As you read this I'm sure you are letting out a little chuckle while at the same time thinking to yourself, "no kidding". Good writing is so much rarer than it should be. For some people, writing comes so easily and for others it takes more of an effort, more than I wish at least. The great thing about blogs is that they are informal. There is so much good information available by people who are subject matter experts, but not necessarily great at writing. The chances of most people ever publishing a paper on a subject they might happen to be knowledgeable about, was once very slim to none. Today, anyone can share their thoughts and opinions in minutes.
