I haven't been real active on here lately, but I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays. Hopefully everyone is getting some time off work to enjoy the season. We have had a wonderful Christmas so far with snow and all!
If anybody knows me, they know I love the Final Fantasy series of games. I have also always loved the music from these games as well. Heck, my alarm I wake up to every day is the music from the Crystal Room. :) Well, it looks like we all may get a great taste of the music from Final Fantasy as a concert series titled "Dear Friends" kicks off in Chicago, Illinois on the 19th of December. President of Square Enix was quoted saying:
The first FINAL FANTASY concert in the U.S. brought fans from far and wide together in Los Angeles to share in an unforgettable musical experience. We are pleased to announce that, due to the overwhelmingly positive response, a North American tour will soon bring the emotionally moving and powerful scores to fans across the country.I can't wait till it comes to Denver (I sure hope it will...)!
On a related note, check out the Black Mages. They took battle music from Final Fantasy and turned it into Rock music. It is pretty funny (and not too bad either.
Following closly on the heels of the recent Firefox 1.0 release comes the Thunderbird 1.0 release from Mozilla.org. Thunderbird is a wonderful mail client that serves as an alternative to Outlook and other unsecure mail clients. Thunderbird has built in Spam Filtering, new RSS support, Threaded message view, is available for all major platforms, and has a great user interface. If you are looking for an alternative to your current mail app, Thunderbird is a great choice. I have been using it for quite some time now and I love it, so go check it out! It is available for download here.
