Just read this article, it's pretty amazing. Space tourism only months away :O

King, a 41-year-old Irish businessman, is one of hundreds of travelers who've signed up and trained to be among the first paying passengers aboard Virgin Galactic's trips to suborbital space -- 62 miles above the Earth.

"One of the reasons I'm doing this is precisely because I want these things to be ordinary," King said. "Part of the problem with space travel is that it is special."
King believes the $200,000 he and other passengers pay for a seat on a Virgin Galactic spacecraft will help create a new future when "flights like this are happening every week, when lots of people go, and the cost has been massively reduced due to the economics of scale."

Prices are coming down, even before space tourism has started taking off.

Really cool

Check out the pics there too.

Wooh. Just got back from school. Today was really tiring day, tomorrow will be worse. :(

We'll have about 3 tests and other stuff. Gonna study all night. Hopefully I can play PS3 later.

What are you guys up to?

I'm pretty certain that everybody nowadays know what is YouTube. You can find all sorts of crazy videos and skits there. Is there any certain people you like there? I personally love FreddieW's and MysteryGuitarMan's videos. Their work is pure quality and really professional looking.

I'm sure all of you older folks (80's, 90's kids) remember the games like Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt. As a 90's kid myself, I loved Super Mario and these other NES games. I spent hours playing them infront of my TV and trying to save the princess from the castle. :D
Now lately I've gotten addicted to those games again. I downloaded Super Mario to my computer and now I can't get myself away from it. I love that nostalgia feeling that comes when playing it.

Those were the days. :)

PS3

I just recently got a Playstation 3 Slim. I've had it for a week, works perfectly. Props to Sony for making such a good gaming console franchise. Currently, I have 2 games on it: Grand Theft Auto IV and Motorstorm. Both incredible games. I'm really enjoying the storyline of GTA. Really good.
I have a HDTV, but no HDMI cable yet. I ordered one online for cheap. Good HDMI cables can cost a lot. But they're worth it. Compared to the standard video output cable that comes with the console, HD cable is a definite winner. The video is just so clear.

What other games I should get for the console? I heard that the new Fallout game is coming out soon, I think I'm buying that, looks amazing. I also loved the other 3 of the series.

Hello and welcome.
