Fundraising Spike

Well I guess here are the first signs of the election race post-South Carolina…

A source inside the Obama campaign says the candidate’s web site has seen one of its best hours tonight, raising $525,000 in one hour. A senior aide inside the Obama campaign said the candidate’s site saw its “highest peak” tonight in both online donations and traffic, “bigger than after Iowa, bigger than after New Hampshire.”

The Obama campaign measures online donations every 15 minutes, and the source said that online money was pouring in at the rate of more than $500,000 per hour. – Washington Post

Gotta wait and see until Super Duper Tuesday to see if it actually makes a difference.

Burnout Paradise

I picked up Burnout Paradise yesterday for XBox 360… I was a little disappointed that while playing locally, you can only do one player but it does support up to 8 players cooperatively. I am only an hour into game play but I like method where you can pick up challenges and races as you please. So far I would say maybe one or two wreckages seem a little questionable but that is to be expected, you can only hope it is limited. I will play more in these upcoming days and nights and maybe I will put up a revised review.

Advice: Avoid this if you want to play multiplayer local, quite a disappointment with the lack of that feature. Maybe it will not be that bad online, who knows?
