In this day and age it is hardly surprising that nearly everyone has a blog. I just discovered today, for instance, that even Lisa Whelchel (Blair, Facts of Life) keeps a web log.

And I used to think I was special.

The utter ubiquity of blogs has apparently caused the phenomenon to trascend the human experience and gain a foothold in the machine world. That's my overly verbose way of telling you that Xboxes can blog now. It's an undeniably odd statement, I know, but true nonetheless. The usefulness of the service is debatable, but it is free and mildly entertaining. Your XBOX rejoices when you play games, and whines pathetically when you don't. Here are a few excerpts from mine:

Kato's Xbox - 1/13/2007

I told Kato 'Hey man, it is time to play games' and for once he listened. Gamer score is 2410. He rocked out to Rainbow Six® Vegas, and then he tried to watch TV, but I killed the power... If I can't have him, no one can.

Kato's Xbox - 1/16/2007

My power supply almost exploded! Kato turned on the juice and we did some serious gaming! 2535 points of total gamerscore is pretty good. Admit it. That is a boost of 125 points over last time! He rocked out to Rainbow Six® Vegas winning 2 achievements, and then he went to get some food. I told him to bring me back something but I got seriously dissed.

Kato's Xbox - 1/24/2007

I read online that someone called me all 'emo' for complaining about Kato in my blog... what is with everyone and their labels? And in other news, no gaming yesterday... in case you were wondering...

We all know what this means, of course. SkyNet can't be too far behind.
