a new year

Ah, a new year of computer adventures just ahead of me. Been playing around with Windows Vista Home Premium because the Call of Duty 2 Game won't run on my Windows XP Home version for some reason. So, it looks like Vista is a little more stable (and should be even more with the release of Service Pack 1 in First Quarter 2008). Haven't been using my Mac Mini much except for playing this old school game called Escape Velocity: Override. A little depressed right now because business was extremely slow for December which is completely opposite to all my predictions. Well, I have hope that January will be better than last year's January. Oh yeah, I just remembered that my business is now a year old! Yay me!

Wiijury

Pronounced Wee - jury, as in injury due to playing Nintendo Wii. I have heard of people hurting themselves from losing control of the Wii controller and smashing it into things but I never thought I would fall victim to this new gaming system. I was over at my Sister's house playing Resident Evil 4 on her boyfriend's Wii. During parts of the game you have to waggle the controller back and forth (think of swatting a fly over and over again). Doing this many times eventually caused a cramp in my shoulder. It was so bad I had to use my left arm only for driving later that night. However, I think this experience serves to boost my geek-cred.
