Can Wii be friends?

I enjoy my video games. I currently have a Wii, and I know a few other people who have Wii's. Did you know you can share messages, Mii characters, and game online (over built-in wireless) with your Wii.

Only problem is that you have to exchange Wii numbers or game specific codes.

This post is specifically for exchanging Wii friend codes. Mine are posted below, and if you put your Wii numbers in, I will put your numbers in mine. (Both numbers have to be put in for it to work).

Also, let me know if you need help finding your numbers, some of them are surprisingly hard to find.

iPod Headphone Jack

Be careful about how you store your iPod headphones. If you're like me (and probably most people) when you're done listening you wrap the headphone cord around your preferred MP3 player. Well, you do that enough and you can ruin the connection. My iPod is beyond warranty coverage, and Apple doesn't repair them (my options are pay a lot of money for a refurbished one, pay a lot of money for a new one [a small discount off a new one]) or... go with a separate company that repairs it for you. I'll probably go with the latter. I had found a website before that seemed like it would be a good choice, but it'll cost me about $40.

The Camcorder (May 13th)

Elena and I were planning on getting a big screen (not as big as I want, but bigger than she wants) HDTV since our old TV is going out. So we were saving up with money from my Birthday and Christmas. With the baby coming, I decided that a camcorder would be a better purchase. So I shopped around (more than I had already). HDTV camcorders are much more prevalent than when I had last shopped. Elena and I had almost bought a camcorder about 3 years ago. We had been planning on getting a 3ccd camcorder from Panasonic, because the color reproduction is supposed to be better.

Anyways... I chose the Canon Vixia HF100. It's 1080 with 30p and 24p modes. It has no onboard memory and uses SD cards (and the new higher capacity SDHC cards). I picked up a 16GB card which will record 2 hours worth of HD video. The battery only works for 1 hour, and we'll pick up a 2 hour battery sometime. Canon's have won a lot of best camcorders as a brand (and I've got a digital camera and multifunction which I like from Canon). I didn't choose the one with built in flash because I can get a card for that 16gb card cheaper, and prices on the cards will go down. A hard drive would be nice but would have driven up price, size, and weight while decreasing the battery life. It has a CMOS sensor (I had been looking for a 3CCD because I thought they were always better) but in my reading I've heard that CMOS can be equivalent or superior to 3CCDs, depending on setup.

UPS came and tried to drop it off, but nobody was home, so I drove to the UPS place and picked it up, (even though it was down by Galveston).

I've already got my first video to submit to America's funniest home videos.
