Sunday is usually a down day for me. I am usually preparing a review for ThinkComputers and taking it easy. But I decided I would start a weekly post where I let you know the happenings of the net for that week. Not just with blogs, but with regular websites too. Hopefully I can keep this up and not become lazy and miss a few weeks. So here goes volume 1!

Kanye West Beats 50 Cent in Record Sales
I’m not sure if all of you follow Rap / Hip-Hop, but there was a feud going on between rapper 50 Cent and Kanye West. They both released their albums on the same day September 11th. In the first week of sales Kanye sold 956,936 copies which sure beat 50’s 691,304. 50 Cent said that if Kanye West beat him he would retire, now that he was beat do you think he will retire? I doubt it. I have listened to both CD’s and honestly I like the 50 Cent CD better, I was quite disappointed in Kanye’s CD compared to his first 2 albums.

Xoxide.com Caffeine Shootout


The guys over at Xoxide.com were nice enough to send out a ton of caffeine products for us to try out. From drinks to candy, even caffeine soap! I let Greg try them all out, check out his 11 page article and see which products he liked best!

The Dot Com Lunch @ Feenies


Fellow Bloggers Ed Lau, John Chow, Michael Kwan, Leo Chiang, and Stephen Fung headed out to Feenies to get lunch. What they ended up with was a $60 burger! Looking at it makes me hungry. I love reading out the BC blogger outings, makes me wish there were more bloggers around this area. If there are any local Pittsburgh bloggers that want to start a weekly lunch or something like that contact me!

The XSR48 Powerboat


Now this is just sick! The XSR48 luxury powerboat is inspired from the worlds finest supercars. With 1600hp from 2 bi-turbo diesel engines it can sure get you to where you want to go in a flash. Also the design is just amazing! With a price tag of £1.2 million people are calling it the Bugatti Veyron of the sea!

Halo 3 Legendary Edition Unboxing
The guys over at Engadget some how got Halo 3 early! They have a full gallery of them unboxing the Halo 3 Legendary Edition set as well as the Halo 3 Xbox 360 limited edition console! If you want to see what your Legendary edition of Halo 3 will look like check this out!

    I had a Baconater at Wendy’s the other day.

    OH MY GOSH did I feel like my heart should have stopped the moment I finished the last bite of it.

    Then, the next day, a friend tells me that he downed TWO of those beasts. I hadn’t eaten for eight hours and I could barely finish ONE.

    No wonder Americans are obese, haha.

    Don’t agree with you on 50s being better, only one good song on it in my opinion, ayo technology, wicked and cool beat.
    It’s too alike his previous ones, no evolution going on. That’s why people don’t buy it as much, it was cool the 2 first albums but now it’s annoying.

    Kanyes album is cool, but the thing is I’d had to keep the songs running for a bit before I got into it. my first impression was that it was very poor, but now I even like it.
    Also he sells much more records as he has a wider audience than 50.
