Come on, Nintendo.

The Wii has been out for OVER A YEAR. Why is it so hard to find one? Even on-line! Don’t you understand I really want to play the new Zelda game over the holiday break?

What gives?

[Update: I broke down and ordered one! I got it as a bundle with extra games and accessories, which was more than I really wanted to spend for a gaming system, but I put my fudge website money towards it and justified the rest as John and my Christmas present for each other... Wiiiii!

If you are looking for a Wii, I recommend this site: http://www.xpbargains.com/wii_locator.php I found a few other places that were out of date, but this one seems to be on top of it. They have a nice xml feed that shows you the latest availabilities. Now I'm going to immediately take that xml feed off my google page before I see one that's cheaper!]

Or as some would say, “Fudge Renaissance”

I’ve just finished a month-long project to build a website for a colleague of mine and his wife to sell fudge! Check it out here: Renaissance Fudge Company

My violin practicing got cut pretty much completely — I would work for 8 hours at my main job (instead of my usual 9 or 10!), then come home and work on the site until midnight, plus a few solid weekends. But the site went live today! And my customer was happy. And Rails is pretty darn cool.

Fudge. It’s what’s for breakfast! (and lunch and dinner.) Eat more fudge!

(Actually, I haven’t even tried the fudge, given my severe food allergies. I’m going to work with them and figure out what flavors are safe for me to eat. But I’m sure it’s good!)
