As many of you know I used to work for Funcoland back in high school and college. Funcoland was bought out by Babbages Inc. prior to my departure. The Babbages Inc./Funcoland hybrid became GameStop which then bought EB. GameStop Inc. is now the “Wal-Mart” of the Game Retailers. Sure there are other smaller outfits like GameCrazy, Play-N-Trade, and others but they’re so few and far between that they don’t stand as true viable options for most gamers. Sure you can get your games at BestBuy or Wal-Mart but I want to talk about the Game retailers specifically. You see what bothers me is the current GameStop store model. You walk in a GameStop these days and it looks like a God Damned flea market half the time with products strew about, not organized in any fashion, and a mess on all the shelves. God forbid you actually are able to search their shelves alphabetically for anything!

So now that we all know BLOGS ARE DEAD and that bullshit like Twitter are the Future. I have this internal debate on what SeanPiotrowski.net will be in the future. I honestly don’t see any of these new platforms working for me. Outside of a weekly video podcast or videolog, the written form is the easiest and most convenient for me.

Anyway this new layout is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. I only hope future WordPress themes get to be this feature filled. If only I had the knowledge to code my own SUPER THEME! I also find it to be a fitting theme for me being that I love Windows Vista and not many people do. Vista needs all the fans it can get! It deserves them! After all I’m not a Mac user I just play one on TV (work). So enjoy my new theme which I call Microsoft Windows Vista: SeanPiotrowski Edition!

For those of you keeping track I’ll be 27 on Sunday. 27.

P.S. I’m officially a college professor.

As you all know I am not voting for McCain & I’m not voting for Obama. I saw this contest and thought it would be an interesting execerise for me in my ability to gauge the country. Let’s see how right I am.

This Glen Beck Interview pretty much hits all the nails on the head as to why I’m not voting for McCain or Obama:
