Remember in a galaxy far far away there used to be a Nintendo NES and the Super Mario Brothers series were the best games ever made? Those were the days. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if Nintendo resurrected old school Mario (no the new 3D crapola) but just like the Mario we knew on the Nintendo NES. I would buy it..and I supposed it wouldn’t cost too much to make. hmm food for thought. Anyway, there are websites out there that allow you to play Super Mario Brothers 1-3. After some searching I found one I really liked. Its free and there are no sign ups or anything of that nature.

In the new Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3 (I seem to get Mozilla misspelled every time) the Personas themes rock. I’m not sure if they existed before the latest release but they allow you to personalize your browsing experience. Here are a few examples:

Hey guess what? Alvin and the Chipmunks gang is back with “The Squeakquel” now available on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download. The DVD comes in an amazing double pack that includes “The Squeak Along” Bonus Disc, with more wild chipmunk fun and all-new singalongs! You get double the fun of course. I have yet to see the sequel, but would love to experience it at home. I have memories as a kid of Alvin and the Chipmunks and they have always entertained my imagination to the point of pretending I was a chipmunk and going on my own adventures. That’s the same experience I would love for my kids to have. Its a great theme to share with your friends and family and Alvin and the Chipmunks will always be welcomed into my house. A cool feature they offer on their website http://www.munkyourself.com is the ability to “munk” yourself! It would be an outstandingly fun time for you and your kids. I went ahead and “munked” myself and the results are at the bottom of this post. You can also visit http://www.foxfamilyflicks.com for even More Munk Mayhem! To all of the parents out there, do check this family friendly film out and consider to buy it now for your personal home collection. Its something the whole family can share and remember years from now just like my childhood chipmunk memories.

I have been all over the web searching for any new details about the rumored Microsoft Courier. They are creating quite the buzz from keeping their lips sealed and somehow “leaking” videos of it in action. Many online followers were even wondering if this groundbreaking gadget was too good to be true. I’m keeping my fingers crossed personally as this is one of those must haves for me. Come on Microsoft!!

Should Toyota get a 16 million dollar fine from the government? I’m not so sure. I don’t agree with the government getting involved with private companies even if it is for the safety of the masses. Toyota has already been hurt by their own means from the loss of sales to a tarnished reputation. The government fine was overkill in my opinion.
