I pre-ordered Wii Fit through Amazon back in mid-April and today it arrived on my doorstep. I spent about 45 minutes this evening learning my way around the balance board, doing the initial Body Test, and checking out some of the included games. Wii Fit doesn’t mean We Fit: this is strictly a single player [...]

WIJFR: Mission
What would you do if, through an unexpected twist of fate and time, you came face to face with Jesus of Nazareth? In the flesh.

I had never heard of Bags until my sister started working for IT and even then never actually saw it until my brother’s college [...]
Bullets are back!

Doing some digging in the Thisaway (Blue) template I’m using, I found the following reference: .post li { padding: 0 0 4px 17px; background: url(http://www.blogblog.com/thisaway_blue/ icon_list_item.gif) no-repeat 0 3px; } Putting that URL into my browser, I [...]
