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!
