Assassin's Made Our Country

Ubisoft's Flagship Product, Assassin's Creed, a series with 4 installments on consoles, many random installments across handhelds, and a few books, has been confirmed, announced, and some information was given.  It started with a Best Buy employee leaking concept art from the game's new protagonist.  This is a welcome change because the last installments have been in foreign countries, from Israel to Italy.  The most recent one will be in America during the American Revolution.  The concept art released was of the protagonist in front of the colonial flag.  Ubisoft also released the cover art of the game which is shown in the image below.

Organization Will Set You Free

"If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times, organization will set you free"  or so said Alton Brown.  The way that people organize their computer, or as an extension, everything, is a clue to the way they function best and what they like doing.  For my Personal Computer (Here and after known as "my PC"), I use a combination of things that I have learned from various sources.  I use Google Reader and Google E-Mail to have easy access to the internet if at some point I have an opportunity to check CygnusX-1.net or the Call of Duty MW3 forums or SMNC (Super Monday Night Combat) beta fixes.  I don't store many pictures but my "Lets Play Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" and my "Batman Arkham City: Riddler INSANITY" videos all have 16 gb USB drives for themselves.  Social Bookmarking, also known as the processing of bookmarks to people that you set, are not used.  On my Reader account I have all of my rush news tagged with the words "Geddy, Neil, Bass, Alex, Clockwork, Angels, Sectors" depending on the topic
