Have a good one, CheeseEater.

"Theres at least 28MB left under the hood, I swear."

The Associated Press is reporting that President Bush has signed off on $45 million to explore the possibility of designing a maglev train from California's Disneyland to Las Vegas. Here's the article:

Levitating train from L.A. to Las Vegas gets boost

WASHINGTON (AP) - Plans for a levitating train from Las Vegas to Disneyland can move forward under a transportation bill signed by President Bush on Friday that frees up $45 million for the futuristic project.

Derided by critics as pie in the sky, the train would use magnetic levitation technology to carry passengers from Disneyland to Las Vegas in well under two hours, traveling at speeds of up to 300 mph. It would be the first MagLev system in the U.S.
The money is the largest cash infusion in the project's nearly 20-year history. It will pay for environmental studies for the first leg of the project.

The money had been delayed by a drafting error in Congress' 2005 highway bill, which was corrected along with some other changes by the legislation signed Friday by Bush. The delay had allowed a competing and cheaper diesel-electric plan to emerge as an alternative, but with the money now freed up supporters hope to move forward with the MagLev plan.

The train is meant to ease traffic on increasingly clogged Interstate 15, the main route for the millions of Southern Californians who make the 250-plus-mile drive to Las Vegas each year. There is no train on the route - Amtrak's Desert Wind between Los Angeles and Las Vegas was canceled in 1997 because of low ridership.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., praised passage of the law, saying the MagLev project "will safely and efficiently move people between Southern California and Las Vegas."

For the record, the distance between Disneyland in California and Las Vegas, Nevada is about 270 miles. In a car, with traffic and pit stops, you could probably cover that in about four hours, give or take a half hour. The maglev train can theoretically do it in less than an hour.

Of course, it's important to remember that maglev trains and tracks are apparently ridiculously expensive to build. $45 million probably wouldn't cover 10 miles of track, let alone 270-plus.

. Awesome. I'd so love to ride that!

Doesn't that title just bring such a enourmous sigh of releif to the human body. This ones a quick blog, very short.

I did well, very well as a matter of fact. I'm pleased greatly by my results.

Have a good day all.

Until next time, ta.

Uh-huh. I'm all outa space! No more blocks. None. I've deleted all N64 games. All Genesis, Turbografx and NES games. Holding on -- stubbornly, it would seem -- to a few classic S-NES titles. But if I want to download another WiiWare game -- a grand total of three -- I'll need to clean out the fridge again.

EDIT: And NO, that's NOT me in the picture bellow.



Seriously, Nintendo. We've moved well past the point of mere frustration and now I'm just offended that you continue to downplay and ignore this huge oversight and problem.

Thing is, you're only hurting yourself -- you're losing money. I'm not buying as much as I would be because it's a hassle. Other gamers are in the same boat.

OPEN UP THE SD CARD OR OPEN UP THE USB PORTS. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY.

Now that my rants over , I can tell you that that was fueled greatly by the sheer amount of Exams I've had, and have upcoming over the next few weeks. I've battoned down the hatches and am very anoyed at the work load. There's barely any time for gaming at the moment, but I cannot wait till the kufufle is all over and done.

Anyway, hope to return to my usual self on the boards soon, have a good one.

CheeseEater-

Today was a fine day in Melbourne Australia, the weather was fantastic and the sunset put on a stunning show. I really don't think it could have gotten much better for Mothers Day. As the title suggests, I am very curious as to what suprises you gave to your mother today. I for one, totally caught mum (Australian spelling) by surprise. Presenting her with a "suitcase" which had the words "Wii Fit" printed on it. At first, I must say that she was very tentative. In the balance, one might have said. From first impressions with the "back of the box" readings, Mum couldn't figure out if the package really suited her.

The whole family gathered around as we set the pieces into play, and booted up Wii Fit. Within 20 minutes, the expression on her face was priceless. She rapidly became overjoyed and highly impressed with the product, Mum was in fits of laughter when my the old man grumpily received the weight category of "overweight". The joy procided into crying herself with laughter as she failed the push up exersise miserably.

It's now 11:54pm, Mothers Day (Sunday) right now, and I'm going to bed knowing that my mother had one hell of a time with her present, mum's super hyped to continue what she now calls her "intense training exersise".

Wii fit had flown off practically all the Electronic stores I could find in my area. Luckily though I managed to snag myself a copy, the last one in the store! I leave you fellow mate, with these final words:

What a great buy.

P.S. What did you give to your Mother for Mothers Day?
