Well then.

According to personaldna.com, I am a "generous leader". Whaddayaknow? I never thought that I was either. And stupid Blogger won't let me put in my "DNA Stripe". Something about the HTML tag not being allowed.

Do de do de do de do....

Yawn. Boring. I have updated the web address of this blog to something shorter and more appropriate, at least in my opinion. Things have been rather quiet here at Spaig Central. I've been doing a bit of gaming here and there, listing items for sale on eBay, and finishing up high school. Incidentally, if anyone reading this wants a dirt cheap computer, check out my eBay auctions. My eBay ID is (unsurprisingly) del_spaig. Simply do a member search, and click on "Items Currently for Sale" or something like that. I have been raising funds in hopes of buying a Nintendo Wii when it comes out. It looks pretty cool. The code name for it during development was "Revolution", and I believe that is what it will be. However, I am not sure this will be a good thing. Take the following quote from Nintendo's Wii Site-

Satoru Iwata

“Let’s say your Wii is connected to the Internet in a mode that allows activation on a 24-hour basis. This would allow Nintendo to send monthly promotional demos for the DS, during the night, to the Wii consoles in each household. Users would wake up each morning, find the LED lamp on their Wii flashing, and know that Nintendo has sent them something. They would then be able to download the promotional demo from their Wii’s to their Nintendo DS’s.”

This quote, from the CEO of Nintendo, is referring to the WiiConnect24 service. This is a service that downloads updates, demos, etcetera from Nintendo to each Wii during the wee hours (pun intended) of the night. While this probably is as innocuous as this sounds, let's dig deeper, and deliberately overthink this. Nintendo Co. has a direct link to a small A/V device in many homes around the world, and sends messages to you while you sleep. Put that way, it sounds rather ominous, doesn't it? It reminds me of a novel by one Erich Arthur Blair, a.k.a. George Orwell, entitled "1984". I suggest you draw your own conclusions, and not blindly follow what is written here. I believe that the Wii will be a great success, without being Big Brother.
