A state judge has ordered O.J. Simpson to limit his spending to “ordinary and necessary living expenses” after the family of murder victim Ron Goldman raised concerns the former football star was shopping another book deal.

How I got a PS3, a Wii, and what they lead to.

So one day while at work I decide to browse Ebay to see if there are any good deals on Wii’s out there. After all this is the new world of gaming we are all hearing about.

I found a good deal and ended up winning the auction for the Wii. I am very excited about my new purchase so on my lunch break I decide to go to Wal-Mart to check out other games I might want to play in addition to Zelda which is coming with my purchase.

As I am standing there contemplating Wii games I hear behind me “No sir, we only allow one per customer.” “But my friend is right over there.” Well then your friend needs to come over here in order for him to get one.” I am thinking to myself, they aren’t talking about what I think they are talking about are they? I decide to investigate further. I follow the Wal-Mart employee who is pushing a shopping cart with some unmarked boxes. When he stops near the electronics section I ask “those aren’t PS3′s are they?” He looks at me and smiles “sure are, only 5 though.”

Well damn now I am in a tough spot. I just bought a Wii and now I am presented with this amazing opportunity to buy a PS3. Should I do it? Well who cares, I did, I bought one.

So now I am the proud owner of a PS3 and a Wii.

Two days later…

The systems are awesome but I can’t help but think how amazing they would look in HD.

As my girlfriend and I are out doing some errands one night we happen to be right next to a Circuit City. We decide we should go look at TV’s Good idea I think.

We are in awe of the Samsung LCD HD-TV

Circuit City, the amazing retailer they are, was having an awesome no interest sale.
We bit.

45 minutes later we were at home setting up our new HD Samsung T.V. and admiring the beauty.

My T.V. viewing and gaming experience will never again be the same. I feel as if I am now competing on a whole new level.
Welcome to the HD revolution I tell my girlfriend.

Go get an internship!

In my experience, getting an internship can be the most important thing you do after college.

As an intern you experience first hand the day to day work involved with the company and field you are interested in. The company also has the benefit of observation before a formal commitment is commenced.

Work hard as an intern, be enthusiastic about learning and you will have a good shot at a great future with a company you like.

Try it!
