Wii Ware For The DS

DSFanboy has a nice write-up on the Nintendo Fan Network that I wrote about a few weeks ago. They made a good point about this perhaps being a first step to providing more content in the future via download. I agree.
I’ll take it one step further. Why hasn’t Nintendo released some kind of API to [...]

Still No Deal Between the Satellite Providers and MWC/CSTV

This is really getting to me. We still don’t have a satellite deal between with CSTV and the Mountain West Conference. It’s not looking good either.
David James at KUTV.com thinks a deal will be in place by September 10. To be fair, he made this prediction on 8/21. I don’t think it will happen. [...]

What caught my attention were the DJ’s remarks following the song. She commented that James [...]

What Happened to ESPN?

I have been a long time supporter of ESPN’s Baseball Tonight program. It used to be a great program to watch. They used to show a ton of highlights and sprinkeld in some analysis. It has evolved over the last few years into something that has become unbearable to watch. I’m speaking specifically about the [...]
