A new DS from Nintendo. Jordan and Diana love their DS's. I do not know if these are really any better. I like the actual internet wifi access on it. I like the bigger screen (it is only .25 inches). Things I do not like is the MUCH lower battery life, the MUCH higher price, and no more Gameboy Advance games. We have a bunch of GBA games that I still like to play on the DS. I will not be buying this. Read more here: http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nintendo-announces-the-dsi/

My new iPod Touch is still awesome, it just seems like the battery does not last as long as my other one. Of course, I do use it differently, I play games on it, and download new apps to see how they work. So the battery is probably the same, I am just a different user with this iPod. I think I could use this: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/02/technology/personaltech/02solar.html?_r=1&ref=personaltech&oref=slogin. It is an iPhone case that doubles as a solar powered charger, I am sure it would work with my Touch. I love it!

I need my Flash on the web. My fantasy football site runs on Flash, so I can't check things out on my iPod Touch. I need it. It is finally (close) to coming. Here is the link: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/30/flash-seems-to-be-coming-to-the-iphone-but-is-that-a-good-thing/

Wii Lightsabers? I am in (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/86551-Wii-Lightsabers-Unleashed). I would get this, but I have already won the game, plus I already spent $70 on the game and strategy guide (that I hate and find completely un-helpful).

This (http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9115340&intsrc=hm_ts_head) is a very interesting read onhow a desk job can wear your body down. I try not to do the afternoon snack thing, but I do head over to LDs desk too often for a Mr. Goodbar.

Not happy with your cell phone battery (mine seems to be lasting shorter and shorter times everyday)? Click the link: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122227478405571617.html and see what you can do to help yourself.

The Force Is Strong With Me

I have won The Force Unleashed. Not to give too much away, but at the end I choose to be a Jedi and destroy the emperor. There is another ending and am I going to replay the game to see it. For now I can just sit here and say that I am the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy.

Jordan has started to play, he is getting better. Soon, him and I will duel to see who is better.

Force Unleashed Update

I have played The Force Unleashed for a little over 3 hours in the past two days. I am doing pretty good. Looking through the cheat guide that I have, I am a little under half-way finished the game. I hope to spend a couple hours a night the next few nights and get it done. Once I start a game like this I just have to finish it and then it will be out of my mind.

May the force be with you.

I Have the Power of The Force (Unleashed)

Here is me waiting in line to get my copy of The Force Unleashed at the local GameStop at midnight this morning. It was fun. I left home about 5 minutes before midnight, got to the store, bought my game and guide (got a FREE StormTrooper figurine) and was home by 12:15. I played for about an hour and went to bed, hey, I do have a life, you know.

The one drawback, I think I was the only one in the store that took a shower yesterday.

The game is good. If you like Star Wars and have a Wii, you should get this game and start playing.

The Force Unleashed

I am still very excited for the new Star Wars game "The Force Unleashed." The other day Jordan and I saw (Jordan played) a demo of the game. Let me just say that this game is one of the best video games I have ever seen. This game is just so awesome. Once I get it you can all come over and play. Here is the website for the game: http://www.lucasarts.com/games/theforceunleashed/. There is a demo on this page you can play.

The Force Unleashed comes out September 15 and Jordan is always reminding me to go get it, or asking me how long I am going to play it that night, or if I am going to stay home from work to play it the next day (the answer is, probably not). Here is a site with all kinds of Force Unleashed info.

I know that the sites say it comes out on the 16th, but there is a midnight release, so I say the 15th.
