This Johnny Lee guy is incredible. The virtual white board is just as great as Wii head tracking. I still hope to see the head tracking in games sometime soon.

I was shocked to see three Wii’s in stock at Wal-Mart today. Don’t worry Wii hunters, I was only there for AA batteries and a surge protector so the systems remain unpurchased.
My sister was married over the weekend in the little old chapel on the KU campus next to the anthropology museum. The winter weather was not fun to work against, but in the end Friday through Sunday were excellent and any hardships suffered will only make the event more memorable. My sister with her new husband, Kris, are probably complaining of the Jamaican heat (where the temperature this week averages to the mid 80s), a problem I at least wish I had.
Monday I attempted to fix the upstairs toilet that has been running constantly since we moved in, but found too late that the broken part was not a part of the replacement kit Laura and I had purchased from Walmart. Another trip will need to be made in the next few days to find on overflow pipe, I believe it’s called, which split about where the flapper is. I’ve decided to try to fix the toilet before the front door frame, which, along with the outer glass door, lost its battle with the New Year’s Eve wind and tore some of the wood away. I had forgotten about it until now, and will need to check with my dad on repairs.
This coming weekend will be my last before school starts on Wednesday. It promises to be full of crazy adventure with the possibility of a Friday night concert even though I swore off them the last time I saw this band play. Hopefully my Magic tournament luck will be with me once again the Saturday as Steve and I battle the unwashed masses with annoying habits. While the people annoy me sometimes, there are a good enough number of cool people and the feeling that comes with competition is sure worth it. Plus, the free card is a huge dragon.
There is also to be a Wii Bowling tournament coming up soon that Liz decided on at the wedding. Laura and I have been practicing, and plan to take down all pretenders to the bowling trophy.
The new Condiment Man story is still coming along. It’s now halfway through its twelfth page and on its way to winding down, I think. It promises to be one of my favorite stories of recent times, and it feels good to once again be writing about the things going on with a skewed perspective, then allowing the condiment hero to take the story in different directions than I had anticipated. My goal is to have the story out by the time school starts next Wednesday. Laura has a dinner tomorrow, so the night will be dedicated to finishing the draft.
Santa has passed by once again and delivered enough goodies under the tree to keep us busy until a few weeks after a certain someone does or does not see his shadow. Christmas day though, I was completely caught off guard when my mom asked to play the Wii, she didn’t warm up with Wii Sports either. No, she jumped right in to an Excite Truck race and kept the truck on the road very well while racking up the stars.
Setting up Connect24 was a headache though, for no reason other than Nintendo must have set something up incorrectly. After setting up the connection with WEP encryption I was able to test fine, but when trying to agree to the Connect24 license, the console couldn’t find the internet and gave an error code 220602. With much griping and unfruitful internet searches I gave up and went to bed. This morning though, I found my answer in a forum I can’t find now. For some reason, WEP must be disabled temporarily to get to the agreement, then can be turned back on. Everything works perfectly now with WEP back on.
On the Condiment Man front, not much progress has been made in the past few days, so the next story isn’t going to be out for a bit. Hopefully I can get the final few pages written at lunch this week and make it available shortly thereafter.
