Some interesting things. My family is on Twitter. Oh, and Facebook. I'm telling you, it's no longer safe to surf online.

They're everywhere.

- My brother is on Twitter - @nspetrucci

- My Dad is on Twitter - @mppraise

- My Mom in on Twitter - @calpetrucci

Just waiting on the sis, I'm sure she'll get on board in no time (it's just like Facebook status

updates, its easy!)

Oh, really random but we are getting a T3 (maybe more than one too, not sure) line at work. It's supposed to be screamin' fast. I heard it's like having 28 T1 lines. Yeah, I'd like to do a speakeasy.net/speedtest first though.

Speaking of speed tests, while visiting our parents, the wife drove so I busted out my laptop and did some tethering with my phone. Check out the speeds.

I was happy with the performance. Kinda drains the battery but it was worth it.

I love my Xbox. Really. It can do a lot. Some of us guys discussed Playstation vs Xbox and the general consensus was that Sony has no idea what they are doing. Just sitting on their butts not doing a thing with their console. Xbox however has added Netflix (which is amazing) and has talks of Last.fm, Facebook, and Hulu. Yeah, big things.

There was an article written in XBN magazine a while ago (not sure of the date) and I like it so I ripped it out of the magazine and kept it. Don't worry Mom, I threw away the magazine.

"Xbox Nation tracks the players in the great console car race of 2003. Drop the

checkered flag...

If game consoles were cars, then the three players in the market would be very different idee. The PlayStation 2 would be a Toyota Camry: It's competent, reliable, the best seller in its class, and bought by everyone who doesn't have the imagination or desire to buy something more interesting. GameCube would be a Subaru Impreza: Made for enthusiasts, it's hardcore, small, fast, and something that appeals to niche tastes.

But what of Xbox? A Cadillac Escalade. Big, powerful, all-American luxury that's recently found it's cutting-edge niche. Without a doubt, the Xbox is tech."

If you're a gamer at all you can relate to that. Isn't that cool?! Oh well, maybe not.

Did you know that I have a year of free Cici's Pizza? Well, it's one buffet a month but how cool is that?! My brother, his girlfriend Michelle, and our friend Dave all camped out a few hours early for the grand opening because they had free buffets for a year for the first 50 customers.

Jenni's painting again, and some really great stuff too. I'm taking pictures of her stuff, but they really don't do it justice. Here's one of her latest works.

I've been using Twitter a lot so if you aren't noticing my updates, head over to twitter.com/mikepetrucci because I post a lot more often than I do here. I should post more but I get busy. Sometimes doing real things and sometimes just busy with silly stuff, but busy is busy right? Just bookmark it to get updates or better yet, sign up and follow me for instant updates. It's fun. I think.

I can't think of what else is new at the moment so I'll leave you with all that. Enjoy your week.

No Name

This post is going to be a lot about nothing.  Just stuff going through my head.  Nothing specific.

It wasn't too long ago that I lived in Tulsa.  Lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma!?  Yeah!  And you know what?  I miss it.  Well, I miss my old job, my friends, our old apartment our old church... but its better here (?).  It really is.

I've don't a lot.  I guess I mean in my life but I'm just thinking over the past year.  Random stuff too.  One thing that I think is pretty cool is that I helped make a movie in 24 hours.  Remember?  

The Terror Within from Mike Petrucci on Vimeo.

TJ, Erin, Doug, that was a lot of fun.  Thanks for making me do it!

I want this flashlight, Duracell makes it, freaking awesome! [gizmodo]

From my days of directing (Sophomore year at ORU in Telenews!)

My senior schedule at ORU.  Josh and Cassidy are very familiar with these.

I don't care what you say but this is the definition of cozy.  After a Michelina's microwave dinner and half of a keylime pie... oh, don't forget an episode of That 70's Show and maybe some bootleg movies... oh and Second Life and Halo... Josh knows what I'm talking about.

Speaking of Josh, why am I holding his hand!?  Or is HE holding MY hand?!

The tallest skyscraper in the world (almost). [gizmodo]

Right now I'm sitting in bed.  Jenni is asleep although it's not really bed time but she fell asleep while we were watching TV.  I'm listening to Pandora and using only semi soft stuff.  Templeton is asleep too and guess what?!  He started barking and growling in his sleep!  It's sad actually.  We thought he was having a bad dream because he sounded scared but is that possible?  Oh well, he's cute.

I don't know what I want to do when I grow up.  Yeah, I know that sounds weird but I don't.  I used to just want to be a video editor and photographer (video).  Then that evolved into web/online stuff.  Now it's evolving again but I don't know where I want to end up.

You know what?  Maybe be a consultant!  Those guys don't have to do anything except offer their opinion right?  I have opinions!  Ask my friend Matt.  We share (used to a lot more though) projects and ask for input.  He very bluntly tells me that I used a jump cut and I very bluntly tell him his font choice makes my eyes bleed.  But there are no hard feelings and I love that.

I want to save that topic for another post though.  This is too short for that.  I have to walk Templeton so I'll see you later!
