Good morning everyone, hope this Friday finds you well. Many people are still home with their families and such, so to call news slow is an understatement. Instead, you've pretty much just got me. So sorry. :( Results for the holiday contest should be up in a couple hours. My computer decided that maybe a dying hard drive would make things more fun, which I admit is pretty awesome!

So what are you guys playing this weekend? I'll give a Call of Duty 4 t-shirt randomly to someone who posts in the thread. Oh, and this gallery should populate itself with some good shacker creations over the next couple hours if you would like to take that in.

Shack consult. I am going to get a new phone. I get a choice of 3 smart phones for free, Blackberry Pearl, HTC Touch or HTC S720. It looks like they all use Windows Mobile. Which would you choose?

    How does that work? Their site is confusing as hell (as are most cell providers). Does that include email, IM, browsing?
