is what you get. Unfortunately for you, all you get to see is a blog post and maybe a picture, if you're lucky.
I'm Michael, the love-able minority of the group. As Dan said, we were college buddies "back in the day". Now that I think about it, we have been out of school for a couple years. My how time flies. I've tried blogging/maintaining my own website before with no success. I seem to have a knack for forgetting to update. I blame my lack of attention span and abundance of distractions. For this blog I'll most likely be talking about those distractions.
"But Mike!", you say. "Distractions are bad!" Not all of them are bad and the ones that are? Eh, you'll get over it. Distractions in my life include computers, video games, web comics, TV, music, movies, road trips, Pittsburgh (yes, the entire city is one giant distraction for me), sports, friends, alcohol, life (in general), things I find amusing and random thoughts that come into my head. I think that last one is the main perpetrator of my distractions.
Most of the things I'll comment on will be from the web that I've come across from my many feeds on Google Reader. If you don't already have an RSS reader I highly suggest it. I take no responsibility in the decline of productivity. You have been warned. Here is an example of an article I might share. Ok, well, maybe not something like that in specific, but who doesn't like Legos?
Other topics of discussion will include things that I'm currently doing doing/playing/living. My current distraction is the Macbook Air. Yes, I bought one. Yes, I'm crazy. I'm one of those guys who likes to have the "latest and greatest" if/when I can. Hell, I've spent over ten hours in a Wal-Mart TWICE for video games. I'm crazy like that but it's what makes me ME. For those of you who are wondering, yes, I love my Macbook Air.
That's just a taste of what's to come. I'm sure eventually I'll figure out a specific set of things to update on or even come up with a schedule/system for my updates. Until then, expect random, interesting blogs from me.
As a means of keeping track I'm going to try and remember to end my posts with current items, ie what I'm playing now or updates on things. This section won't always include the same information so be prepared for some random things. See below if you don't understand what I'm trying to say. I don't think I even understood what I tried to say.
[Edit] So I completely missed the post from Dan asking us to explain any new labels. My bad. I tossed on the "Introduction" label so it's easier for new readers (or all readers at this point) to find out more about the people writing these posts. [/Edit]

Good call on the Introduction label! And I'm right there with you on Google Reader... I recently started trying to keep up with it, and I'm finding myself un-subscribing left and right...
Just realized I didn't read your "Currently..." section before. Do you mean you're almost done the main story line of Paper Mario, or you're almost done with all of the side quests? I finished the main story line a few weekends ago, but I'm still trying to get through the Flop-Side Pit of Trials...
Just going through the main story line. I went through the first 20 levels of the Pit of Trials on Flip-Side but haven't figured out how to open it on Flop-Side. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually (read that as "don't tell me how to open it").
You should finish the pit on Flip-Side, it's definitely worth it!
