Wii Sports Box 440X330

Still having trouble finding a Nintendo Wii 6 months after launch? Me too but the guys over at UNEASYsilence are giving away a Wii Sports-less Wii for free. What’s the catch you ask? Well for starters you need to be lucky as the winner will be picked at random and second all you need to do is spread the word about the contest. Blog about it, bookmark it on del.icio.us, digg it, twitter it, tumblr about it, they don’t care. After you you link to the giveaway, just post the link as a comment and just wait. I entered the last giveaway they won but walked away empty handled but who knows about this time.

WordPress Ultimate Gamer’s Pack

Written by: Alec Peden - Posted in: software, wordpress

Picture 3

the8thsign.com is now Wii, PSP and DS friendly thanks to the WordPress Ultimate Gamer’s Pack.

The WordPress Ultimate Gamer�s Pack is an essential set of plugins that automatically renders an optimized version of your posts and pages when visitors come to your blog on a Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS-Lite, or Sony PSP. Each device is automatically detected, there is no configuration needed. The theme used by each plugin optimizes your blogs layout and fonts for each device. For example, the Wii Edition plugin uses the �Wii� font at sizes that provide for easy reading on TV screens

I unfortunately do not have a Wii or PSP to test this out on. While I do have a DS Lite, I do not have the Opera web browser for it.

If anyone has any of these devices, I would love to know how they work out for you.

Year End: 2006 Revisited

Written by: Alec Peden - Posted in: apple, life, musings
Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year. 2006 looks to be a great year, HD looks to be taking off with LCD HDTVs prices dropping faster than Paris Hilton in a homemade video. Xbox360 (finally on shelves), Playstation 3 and Revolution all dropping this year, should make it exciting in the gaming community. Hope PSP finally gets some �killer app� games as mine has been just sitting collecting dust. I have no use for $20 UMD movies. I really have no idea why UMD movies are so popular, why on earth would anyone want to watch a full length film on a screen that small is beyond me. I don�t think they are a bad idea, I�m just dumbfounded as to why they are more popular than games on the PSP. I have a couple of goals this year, first being to buy my first Mac, the plan is to pick up a Intel MacMini when they get released. I want to completely switch over to Mac for my desktop. Tho this might not happen because Windows Vista will be out this year and I�m going to definitely be all over that. I�ve really been trying to make MCE work in my home and want to see what they do in Vista MCE. Its not quite there yet in MCE 2005 for me, but I�m hoping with Vista and xbox360 it will finally be what Ive been looking for.

That was my first post of 2006. Let take a look back.

  • 32″ HD LCD TVs can be found for $500 now
    Nintendo Revolution is now the Nintendo Wii
    PSP never got any “killer apps” and UMD died a horrible death
    Bought my first Mac but it was a Macbook and not a MacMini
    Made a complete switch to Apple
    Really have no interested in Microsoft Vista any longer
    Vista and Xbox360 have been replaced with me waiting for the Apple iTV now
