I've got a Sprint PCS cellular phone and have had it since the summer of 2001. I've been very pleased with their service for the most part, and I've just found something that I think is worth passing along:

SprintUsers.com, in their own words, is "a resource for Sprint PCS users to learn about the company's products and services - not shoved down your throats by corporate suits, but with suggestions and opinions from other customers just like you."

They have a wide variety of things to look at in terms of the SPCS system, and a pretty active message board that appears to have a lot of good information. I've bookmarked and will use it; thought I'd pass it along to the readership.

A fellow named Brandon Lee has released several GM Electro-Motive Division SD60 units in Norfolk Southern livery over at train-sim.com recently. I haven't the foggiest as to what the NS uses them for, but I'll be downloading them nonetheless and investigating.

Yay.

Yippee. This PS2 is a nifty little device, even though I'm not particularly fond of the DVD system. That's a little clunky but it will sure beat trusting my laptop for DVD playback when I go on vacation or something.

Since my city was part of the massive snowstorm that hit the East Coast, I was able to take the day off and go in search of games. I found both of the previously-mentioned titles, and I also got some more memory cards. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Castlevania: Lament of Innocence all on one system, yay.

OK, so I finally broke down and bought a PlayStation 2. Got the DVD kit for free. The launch title for my purchase was Castlevania: Lament of Innocence because I'm a sucker for the franchise. I'll be buying Battlestar Galactica soon; that title also contributed heavily to my decision to buy.

I've got to find a copy of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty now, bother.

Within the last two years, I found an amusing website dubbed Canadian World Domination, which recounted the ways that Canada would soon be taking over the continent and eventually the world.

It was humorous, well put together, and worth visiting on a regular basis. Alas, as many things on the Internet are wont to do, it has now vanished and www.standonguard.com no longer can be found.

Generals Claire and Jenny, wherever you are, (hopefully at the bottom of the Great Slave Lake, you upstarts) thanks for making me laugh out loud several times in my carrel, disturbing the others around me as they worked oh so very hard at being "serious" law students.

UPDATE: I've found a mirror of a very rough version of the site, and it's here.

Today Tonight is a good day. Night. Whatever. I've finally sat down and been able to puzzle out the consists for three of the Pennsylvania Railroad's most famed passenger trains from the post-World War II era, and assemble them for Train Simulator.

Thanks to some relentless Google-work and a copy of a Kalmbach Publications magazine, I've assembled the Broadway Limited, the Congressional, and the Senator. I'll wind up posting the things once I get them transferred over to the blogging computer, on the off chance that someone might make use of them.

This here's my first vote in the New Blog Showcase run by The Truth Laid Bear.

I'm voting for the Free Market Fairy Tales based upon a post written by Mr Free Market and available at the following URL: http://www.fmft.net/archives/cat_economics_politics.html#000039

The whole post's a good one, and I appreciate his Americophile stance. Good luck to him.
