probably will announce it big on july 1st.

This post is mainly for other arcade machine enthusiasts, so regular readers may skip this and not feel guilty (just like you ALL skipped the month of June in 2007…one of my finest on records!!! *weep*weep*)

Ok, so the last time I had arcade parts that needed ordering, I went through ebay to get the joysticks and the buttons. They were cheaper (I’ll not lie, both price AND quality) than anything else I’d seen offered at the time.

For the time that I’ve been researching necessary things for the arcade machines(both back then and now), the name “bob roberts” had been mentioned several times on several different arcade forums in regard to cap kits. Little did I know that for practically any arcade part needed, Mr. Roberts had ‘em.

The Real Bob Roberts is in fact real, and is in fact named Bob Roberts. I’ve ordered a couple things from him for the arcade machine, and he’s a welcome change from ebayers. He answers emails quick, and his prices are exceedingly reasonable, and the parts are(in a true cliche) high quality. From now on, any time I need a specific arcade part, I’m going straight to his site. I’d highly suggest anyone who needs arcade parts/circuits/boards/wiring do the same. It’s right fantastic, I say.

in the parlance of the arcade machine: just mr. do it.

goodness, I crack me up!

ok, this weekend drove to salem (a trip of about 9~10 hours) on Friday for a surprise b-day party for my friend John’s 40th b-day celebration (he’s a buddy from grad school).

It was good times, and he was quite surprised.

Saturday we went and watched Kung Fu Panda, which I found to be high-larious. I suggest you all check it out.

Yesterday we drove back, and I played about an hour and a half of the ol’ softball before heading home, it was a church league pick up game, more or less. It was good times.

Today I get to head down to the PO and pick up a bunch of mail that was supposed to be delivered this weekend. w00t.
