We've lately discovered Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. If you have never tried it, you owe it to yourself. Our favorites are "Everything But The...", "Phish Food", "Half Baked", "Chubby Hubby", and "Cherry Garcia".

I've spent some time on the xbox lately. I played through the single player campaign for Bioshock - wow, that's an outstanding game. I also finished this game called Halo... ever heard of it? I'm now about 1/3 of the way through Halo2. You'll never guessed what's next.

PS3 price cut right after I got mine. Yeah, that's true, but it didn't apply to the 60gb model which was important to me based on the post below.

All our favorite TV shows are back on (Beauty and the Geek, Survivor, The Office, The Biggest Loser, Heroes). Not sure when I became this reality TV fan - I used to hate them.

I've been into audiobooks for a while (Audible.com). I always listen to the unabridged ones. I finished Kite Runner - great book but hard to recommend. It was pretty sad and dark. I also really enjoyed The Road, which I actually read (ebook), and it's REALLY dark, but an amazing book. I read it BEFORE it was an Oprah Book - I promise! I'm about an hour from finishing Into The Wild. I'm not diggin' it, but I'm forcing myself to finish it. Apparently you must have to do a lot of thinking to realize how good of a book this is... and apparently I'm not up to the task. Yawn.

Gmail. Why doesn't everyone use it? More importantly, why don't all email apps (web-based or not) organize their mail by conversation? I've tried to do it in Outlook and it just doesn't work. Seriously, it's one of those things that once you start reading email organized by conversation the way GMail does it, you just don't understand why it was ever done differently. Maybe the latest version of Outlook is better - I avoid Outlook except where I'm forced to use it while on a client project.

I got a new HTC Mogul phone. So far I'm diggin it. Maybe I'll blog more later on it.
