Fun Summer Day


My son had a friend stay the night last night and they already beat Lego Indiana Jones! His friend stayed until 10 a.m. and then we ran errands. I had to get the rest of the stuff for putting down some quarter round and a few things at the store. My wife and I decided to take the kids out for lunch so we did the HyVee thing. The kid's loved it! They ate a ton! When we got home I put the quarter round down and the kids played. My daughter was excited because she got to go next door and play Wii with one of her little girl friends. It sure is humid out. It seems like we went from early Spring right into the middle of summer! I hate having the air on.

Just Thinking About Wii, PSP, and PS3

I was at my brother's and my mom and dad's this past weekend. My brother has a PS3 and a PSP and my mom has a Wii. I miss gaming but I am still not sure if I have the time to devote to it to validate the cost. My brother and my mom both have their systems setup to receive wireless internet and it is a wonderful tool. I am impressed with the PS3 graphics and audio but I am also impressed with the internet capabilities of the Wii. The PSP is definitely notches above my son's Gameboy Advance but I don't know if I would use all the features. I have a Zune so I probably wouldn't use the music application for the PSP. On the other hand, having the internet in the palm of your hand would be cool and handy. I didn't like that the PSP didn't pull in several sites due to "insufficient memory". Maybe that is something that can be adjusted or fixed with a bigger memory card. I have wireless at my house and the Wii or the PS3 would be a snap to hook up and get going. Cost is definitely a factor in choosing one of these systems. PS3 is a little out my range currently. I guess I am just talking because I just don't think I have time to play with any of these systems to justify spending that amount of money.
