Burning The Ground, I Break From The Crowd

I'm a nerd and a geek. I'll be the first to admit that. And as you can see, I'm getting Savannah started early! Either that or I'm setting her up for an awesome career in music... If you haven't noticed, almost all of blog titles are pulled from songs. Go ahead. I'll be here as you go back and check.

Welcome back. You were missed. I promise. On to business then. What business is that you ask? Why the business of....business... Yeah. Now that the awkwardness is over let's talk about all things geek!

First, get a Nook. Seriously it's great! Each one can hold something like 3500 book. Plus there is a slot for a 2GB MicroSD Card capable of holding an addition 3500 books. Cait got me one for Christmas and I love it! I've got 9 pages of books that were given to me, and that's not even all of them! When I'm done, I'll have 13 pages! I'm thinking that 13 pages is a bit insane and I'm know Cait thinks so as well. If the nook is not your flavor, I have also heard really good things about the Amazon Kindle. But moving on. On to video games! Let's look at my current favorite games.

Some of you might recognize this gentleman. Some of you wont. It's okay of you don't, I'll still like you. I promise. But, if you haven't already, you need to pick up a copy of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. It is an amazing game, and features a very unique multiplayer mode. In this mode, you are given a target to assassinate, while you yourself are a target for another assassin. It can get pretty nerve racking, especially when you don't know who is hunting you or where they are.  The solo campaign is amazing as well. Ubisoft added an amazing level of detail and gameplay into this installment of the Assassin's Creed line. And for those of you who don't know, the gentle man pictures is Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

 Let's move onto Cait's latest obsession. For those of you who don't know what the logo on the right is, it is the logo for a website called StumbleUpon. Based on the preferences that you set, it will show you unique and random we sites across the Internet. It's pretty good. Both Cait and I have signed up. She has a lot more liked pages than I do. You can follow her here: Cait's StumbleUpon and you can follow me here: Brent's StumbleUpon. I'll work on my stumbles. By following StumbleUpon, Cait discovered another amazing site.
Instructables. This is an amazing site for DIY projects, How-to instructions and all sorts of things. I'm pretty sure Cait spends an equal amount of time between StumbleUpon and Instructables. I know that there are a lot of different and unique projects on there. How would you like to learn how to make a Keyboard Circuit Sheet Lampshade? Or how about a Voice Controlled Robot? Those are only a couple of examples. You really need to check this site out. For my final portion of this blog, I am proud to report that since the beginning of 2010, this blog has been viewed in 13 countries around the world and in 25 states in the US. Thank you for your support as I work through this blog! And with that, I leave you with this:
