E3 2003 is here! Today was the first conference day, which each of the big 3 console makers showed off and announced the latest and greatest hardware and software. No big console hardware changes, except for an announcement that Sony is going to try and break into the handheld market. DDR Max 2 and a karaoke game were announced for the PS2, as well as Gran Turismo 4 (which looks absolutly AMAZING). Here's overview of Nintendo's press conference the next Mario Kart game due in Q4 2003 looks pretty interesting. Gaming Age is a good free general site for E3 news, and of course any videogame message board you come across is chock full of "borrowed" movies from IGN and others. The next 3 days are going to be very fun indeed. And at some point I plan to go to E3 at least once, preferably a year that the new major consoles are announced so I can play them before anyone in the general public can :)

The Duct Tape Wallet. Oh yes.

The 20 dollar bill's new redesign was unveiled today. It's colorized! (sorta)

Microsoft seems to be really confused about it's latest "crappy" product (It's a pun! Funny! Hey, it wasn't THAT bad.... ok it was, but I need more sleep) Anyways, their infamous iLoo, the public portable toliet with a built in computer to use while doing the #2 was announced last week by MS, then called a hoax by MS on Monday (it takes a whole week for MS to figure this out?), and then today said to be a real but dead. Regardless, while having a computer in the bathroom is pretty cool in a geeky kind of way, it's also really disguisting. Just imagine that keyboard.

One more day... just one more day
