So I am on vacation right now and the unthinkable happened after we checked into our place: there was NO wifi available. The hotel didn’t have wifi available at all (welcome to 1990). No coffee shops or residences in the area where I could see their network. Not a thing. Luckily my dad has a [...]

Last week while perusing the web (no doubt wasting time and/or avoiding something important), I decided to checkout the website of a great little indie bookstore named Anderson’s Bookshop which is located in our town. They tend to have a good rotation of authors come in for readings and book signings. I was very surprised [...]

I pre-ordered Mario Kart Wii a few weeks ago (I was obligated having owned and every Mario Kart ever, other than the SNES which unfortunately was the only mainstream Nintendo console I never owned). With that said, I’ve been playing it pretty much all day (while I should be doing other things) and have to [...]

More information is available over at Croncast.com and you can order tickets directly from Eventbrite… As I have mentioned to Kris in the past, [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I was interviewed by a reporter from Reuters regarding the “Wii Party” that we had a month or so ago over at my friend, Rick’s house. The reporter originally found some posts that Kris made on his site and then he gave her my contact info. With all of that [...]

Kris and Betsy has a house full of people over last night for a Wii Tournament (consisting of both boxing and bowling). Liz and I had a great time and are hoping that this becomes a sort of regular “thing”. Besides having so much fun, I can’t help but gloat that I won the trophy [...]

The majority of the local nerd posse got together last night in the “Klau Man Pit” last night for some Wii action. It’s not that I didn’t already love this video game console (sorry, all), but last night pushed it to the next level. Wii Boxing amongst friends may be the greatest thing ever… And [...]

Hey all, I buried my Wii Friend Code in my post the other day that detailed my Wii Launch Campout Extravaganza… With that said, I’ve gotten lots of emails/IMs asking why I’m not sharing my Friend Code. With that said, here is my Wii Friend Code: 3575 5405 5746 7447 I’m ready to see a [...]

Yes, I was able to procure a Wii this morning. However, I will publicly admit that I re-confirmed my nerdiness by going against what I said the other day and “camped out” at the local Wal-Mart. I feel guilty admitting this for two reasons: 1.) Yes, I actually spent the night away from my family [...]
