Just downloaded the free Microsoft Windows Live Writer software for easier blog writing.  Seems pretty nice.

Here is my modified Hori EX Pro for my Street Fighter 4 addiction.  To test out the image editing abilities of this application.

I added Sanwa buttons and a new sanwa balltop.  My GF thinks I should have picked nicer colors, but I suck at picking colors.  Eventually I want to add a custom image over the stick like the people at http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=115479&page=151

Here are some examples.

I should find a friend that’s good with photoshop to make me a cool one.

I also just received the Madcatz Street Fighter 4 Tournament Edition stick in the mail today from buy.com  I preordered it a while ago and forgot to cancel it.  Now that I have it I’m tempted to keep it too.  I can sell it for over 200 dollars though.  Seems like a waste since I have the Hori EX Pro my GF gave me for my birthday.  Both sticks have all the same parts.  Though the tournament stick is really nice though.  Should I just keep both? haha.
