I’m not much of a football fan, but being a Bostonian I’m not happy about what happened in Indianapolis.

Technical note: This is the first video clip I’ve posted that’s been scaled down to 400×300 pixels from 640×480, instead of scaled up to that from 320×240. Bit rate is pushed way up to 1 Mb/sec.

I’m sure you’re checking out The Colbert Report online for yourself, right? Nobody is counting on me, I hope, to provide highlights, since the show is now available online.

Wii-ality

Wii Hands

In the Wii hours of this morning Eric’s Christmas wiish came true at last. Those are his hands clutching the Wiimote — that’s Nintendo’s pun, not mine!

Thanks to this Web site, Carol was confident the local Target store would have the Wii in stock. She was number 9 in line for 70 units — by far the largest shipment since the day the Wii was released. If the Wii had kept its original name, the Revolution, Carol would have been Revolution 9!

Sensor Bar

The motion sensor bar fits perfectly on Eric’s TV. The digital camera captures the bar’s infrared light.
