What have you done for me lately!

Hoaa! I’m beginning to feel a bit bad about leaving this weblog with a super-long-and-super-geekie formula one post as a welcome for over a week. But hey, the weather has been all time record great and I have had better things to do:

Besides spending some time with my guitars and loving my new bike, I have changed mobile-phone, been to the cinema, ordered a washing machine, works some on the next version of the welookgoodontv and Social Suicide website, begun to transfer some of my domains to a new host, played some on our new Nintendo Wii etc and so on, you know — general stuff.

I have also started to tidy up a bit around this weblog… after all — it’s been 1 year and 1 day since it launched! So, a small tidy up for the occasion. As you can see, the blue line is gone (when CSS can deal with baseline better I might put it back), the typeface has changed (so now even PC users can read without getting a headache), the line-height is changed. I’m also working on the Tags page, the Archive page, the About page. We’ll see, maybe one day it will be complete.

rant.jpg OOOOOOOO, I almost forgot — Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey, the latest book by my favorite author Chuck Palahniuk, is on it’s way! It’s always a bit special when a new Chuck Palahniuk arrive in the mail box. Now, I really hope this book is getting a bit more like his first books. Haven’t been a huge fan of his latest; they have been ok, but not as good as the first (pre 9/11).

Joakim Jansson is coming to London tomorrow. He’s stopping by to say how amazing the Coachella festival was.

And, it’s bank holiday weekend this weekend! So, Willow and I might jump on a train on Saturday and head over to Bath.

Aaa, time for bed (and I need to tighten the chain on my bike).

Nintendo… wii have a problem

1

A few guys in the office have received the Wii they pre-ordered from Amazon (and since it’s lunch time now, it’s being set up as we speak).

I don’t know that much about the Wii - i’m not a computer game kind of guy, but I do admire Nintendo for taking their own path in the game consoles war with Sony and Microsoft. Both the Wii and the DS (Nintendos handheld game console) are innovative in more and other ways than frame rate, processor power and hard drive space.

But the problems shown and expressed on the wiihaveaproblem.com site, to me, should be seen as positive feedback to Nintendo. That they have created a console that will engage users to level beyond smashed keyboards and hand controls.
