I downloaded Risk: Factions the other day while looking for another good multiplayer game on the PlayStation Network that wasn’t a beat ‘em up and I have to say, I was really impressed. For anybody who has played the board game, the objective is pretty much the same ol’ game. The have added enough new and interesting twists though to keep you coming back and playing again and again.

While looking for more group-based games for the Wii, I stumbled upon Wii Party. As long as you don’t set your expectations too high – this is a great group-based game for the Wii. Like the Mario Party games before it, it is meant to be played with a large group of people rather than by yourself, and will take you through several types of games to play – with a few mini games thrown in for good measure.
For many, Joomla is the prefect content management system for their websites. It can help you keep track of and organize your communities photos, audio or video. So, with that said – what extensions out there are the most popular for this script that seems to do it all? I decided to take a look.
Here are the top ten most popular ways to extend Joomla and give it more power:
There is no doubt that Amazon sells a little ‘bit of everything these days. Did you know though, that you can easily pick up a roll of 3M Performance Plus 8979N Nuclear Grade 48-Millimeter-by-54.8-Meter Duct Tape? Yeah, that is a little odd, even for Amazon standards. Here is the actual description of the item on the page:
The slate blue color makes it ideal for use in nuclear tape facilities and it is certified for low leachable halogens and sulfur. It also provides sunlight and UV resistance for up to one year without the backing deteriorating or delaminating. This product is especially ideal for applications in the shipbuilding, nuclear power plant and stainless steel industries.

Over the past few weeks I have reviewed a ton of blogging script software selections. Some are good, some are just ok – and some, well I might not have a reason to use them, but you might.
Have any other blogging script suggestions you would like for me to check out?
There are a lot of blogging tools out there under the sun. One that does not get much credit, but I think is pretty nice is Dotclear. An open-source web publishing software, Dotclear has been around since 2002. The project’s purpose is to provide a user-friendly tool allowing anyone to publish on the web, regardless of their technical skills.
Some of the features included in Dotclear are:
You can read more about the many features of Dotclear over on their features page. Did I mention they promise you can get it up and running in a minute too?
One minute install from Dotclear on Vimeo.
If performance is your main concern, Dotclear is fast. It promises to be as responsive as possible, no mater the quantity of the blog. Need some help to get it going? They provide a pretty nice documentation guide to go along with as you customize it to fit your own needs.
Since it will not cost you a thing, Dotclear is definitely worth checking out.
I was in need of a new chair, so I figured – why not order one of those SumoSacs? They do look pretty cool. So where does the problem come in? Well one week later and I have yet to hear anything about the order I put in. The way I see it, places like Amazon.com have spoiled me to good customer service. Over at SumoLounge.com (where I picked up my sack of sumo) the only support they have is via e-mail – which NOBODY has answered in over a week’s time.
Starting to wonder, where it all gets dumped to? Is there some poor sap somewhere looking at my e-mails and laughing – or maybe somebody has been sick?
So where is my SumoSac? Not a clue (hopefully somebody from Sumo Lounge might be reading this. Coming from somebody who does nothing but customer support day in and day out, makes me feel good that I’m delivering better support than these guys right now.
Come on, Sumo Lounge – prove me wrong!
