Well, the holidays are thankfully over and things are getting back to normal around here. And we finally got our Wii back, as it had to be sent in to get serviced. Turns out in some of the older models leaving the Wii in standby mode with WiiConnect24 turned on means that the wifi card will eventually cook the graphic chip, which ultimately means you start seeing small graphic problems as you're playing games or even on the main menu screen. Here's an example (though the guy's camera isn't that great).

Still, it was a pretty easy process. I called the number on the bottom of the Wii, gave them the serial number, they then sent me an e-mail with a link where I could print out a label for FedEx. All I had to do was track down a suitable box and go to a drop off location to get the ball rolling. It took them about 2 or 3 weeks I guess to get it back to me. All of our save games were intact, however we can't edit our existing Miis. Also I had to re-download the Internet channel and the virtual console games I had purchased, but that all was only a slight hassle.

This will mean my 360 can take a break for awhile.

Unfortunately I haven't been doing much music-related stuff, work has been keeping me pretty busy. Kristen and I are on a big health kick though and have been trying to get to the gym as much as possible, as well as change our diet. This show has been the main inspiration. Funny also how many commercials for weight loss pills/plans there are at the beginning of the year, I hadn't noticed that before.
