Now Apple are offering a free iPod engraving service when you order a minimum of 50 iPods. These could be used as rewards for outstanding achievement by your best performing employees or given out at conferences where the ipod is pre-loaded with presentation content.

The iPods can be gift wrapped and include a personalized greeting card. This applies to the iPod and iPhone.

Wii Problems

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

The Wii is a great way to destroy your home. It reminds me of my Wood Turning class at school where the teacher told us not to stick a chisel hard into the rotating wood since it may get stuck and be thrown across the room.

The Wii controller is not as dangerous as a chisel but it can break glass such as windows or lamps. So you want to make sure you have plenty of space around you when using your Wii and ensure that the strap is firmly attached to your arm.

Getting over-enthusiastic with a Wii may be a recipe for disaster. Playing indoor sports is not a great idea I think since you are not getting much exercise and not exercising your eyes. They are remaining with a fixed focus so you will end up getting fat and needing glasses if you are not that way already.
