I finally got to pick up my Wii yesterday, without having to camp out or wait in the cold. Gina managed to snag a pre-order, so we had a big time yesterday with Super Monkey Ball, Wii Sports, Zelda, and Trauma Center (I’ll save my thoughts about Red Steel until I’ve had time to [...]

My favorite pens
14Nov06 A story at Lifehacker about thin, bookmark-friendly pens made me think about my two favorite writing utensils. I spend a fair amount of time either taking notes or marking up pages, and I’ve found a couple of pens that work great for me.
The Uniball Signo RT Micro Gel has a 0.38mm tip that makes [...]
Holy Crap - Gears of War Rocks
10Nov06 Last night I was pretty pissed to be stuck playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance while everyone else on my friends list was enjoying Gears of War (Thanks Gamestop!). After spending a few too-short hours playing a little multiplayer and a little singleplayer, I understand what the fuss about this game was all about.
It’s taken me [...]
The Best Star Wars Video Ever?
09Nov06I hope the folks who put this together get jobs someplace.

Guitar Hero is RAD
02Nov06Not that I really needed another example of Guitar Hero’s rad-ness.
The Preacher
02Nov06 On my nightstand for the last couple of weeks have been a series of Preacher trade paperbacks, which I’ve really enjoyed. They fall nicely into my recent post-apocalyptic reading, from more of a Judeo-Christian bent than the zombie books I’ve been reading.
Oh, and they’re graphic novels—comic books. Thanks to the gang at the Shack [...]
This story at BoingBoing is really interesting to me. It says that Myspace is now prohibiting people from uploading music that appears to infringe on copyright (they’re using the Gracenote info to tell what’s copyrighted and what isn’t).
It’s really interesting to me, because I’ve contacted Myspace three times asking them to remove copyrighted Maximum [...]
