Blogs/twitter/”new media” kinda took a lot of the fun out of the #oscars with predictions this year. Shall nay participate v. much in 2010.

Local game store (gameoncanada.com) said that Wii Fit dissapeared after Dec. 1, suggested Wal Mart. Eww. Please just MAKE MORE, Nintendo!
I still can’t get over how theoretically useless yet practically useful Twitter really is. This should not work.

I hope I can finish David Allen’s Getting Things Done fast enough for it to make a difference quick. Let’s do this.
