I read an interesting article today in USA Today about Nintendo’s newest game, Wii Fit which will maybe allow many gamers to help them get in shape mentally and physically or at least feel better about themselves. This game is also not even geared toward the typically geeky gamer who spends hours a day playing games. It is geared towards moms and wives and others who typically don’t play games. Nintendo’s creator, Shigeru Miyamoto or father of Nintendo is the person behind Wii Fit and he plans to create Wii Music as well.
I own a Wii and I love it. It was one of the best Christmas presents I have received within the last few years, I felt like a kid again, when I got my Castle GraySkull action set when I was 10 or so.
What’s next you ask? I think maybe Wii Life or maybe for adults Wii Sex. Nah, that would stupid.
How about Wii Eat? Where you learn about how to create culinary masterpieces. I tried Cooking Mama but I can’t stand it. I can never understand what the heck it’s saying.
So if you have any other Wii ideas let me know.

Ok, Vista set me back about a week. I had to rebuild my computer and even after I got it rebuilt (virtually – with software), I couldn’t restore my files from the backup. Thankfully, I had done a manual backup or I would have been screwed. I know have computer backing up to itself and an external drive using the new Synctoy v.2.0. and not the built-in backup crap. Since it didn’t work. But I still don’t know if I need the built-in crappy software for the “previous version” feature to work. I don’t think so, but it’s not really clear. So if someone reads this and knows for sure, send me a link where it says this. Or maybe you don’t have a clue about what I am talking about.
I considered going back to XP but I do like Vista even though I probably should be running XP on my older machine. I did have Vista on my Macbook Pro but it didn’t run all that well so I went back to XP. I have it on a Macbook and Vista runs well in Bootcamp but not in Parallels.
