Surprising

I've been posting things here and there on my tech.zsoldier.com blog about things I run into regarding technical stuff. Of all my posts, there aren't many, I've been getting many good comments for my entry regarding *Blackberry tethering to the Mac. Kinda makes me fell all warm inside.

*BlackBerry Tethering is a way to use your Blackberry device as a modem for your desktop or laptop computer to connect to the internet anywhere you have cell reception.

Nintendo DSi announced... lackluster...maybe, but smart

So the new Nintendo DSi has been announced and alot of people seem disappointed. So what's changed, no more GameBoy Advance slot, but instead an SD card slot. A camera has also been added. Other things have slightly changed. The key here, in my opinion, is the addition of the SD card slot. I believe this is a sign of Nintendo connecting their portable gaming device to their ultra successful Wii.
If you don't already know, the Wii also has an SD card slot which for most intents and purposes, has been only used as a storage medium for saved games, downloaded games, etc. Now that the DSi will have an SD card slot, the Wii's online shop channel can be used to sell DSi games and even possibly make downloadable Wii games compatible with the DSi.

Smart, Very Smart Nintendo. It's similiar to what Sony is already doing w/ the PS3 and PSP.
