Photography - Christmas 0.1
We had Christmas today. Emma's sister Nikki has brought her boyfriend, Mats, over from Sweden for a visit, so we had an early Christmas Day Evening, complete with present-opening, large dinner and too many sweets. I took the opportunity to play with my camera again. I didn't get many that I think are particularly good, but some capture the feeling of the evening nicely, and a couple are quite interesting (I think).

How to organise your Wii channels
This took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out this morning, so I thought I'd post briefly about it in the hope that I can save just one person from fiddling futilely with their Wii for quite the same duration. If you want to move your Wii channels around, simply hover the Wiimote's pointer over the channel you want to move, hold A and B at the same time, move to an empty slot and let go. That easy.

There are all sorts of weird reasons put forward for this, and none of them have any respectable scientific backing. It still makes for an interesting debate, though. I've been having a heated debate via comment responses on Facebook, and I thought I'd bung it here so that anyone with an interest (on either side of the argument) can have a look, maybe even join in. I'm going to post the relevant parts of the discussion so far 'as-is'. My responses will be italicised. It

iplayer now available on Wii!
Just got home from work and started up the Wii to complete the daily weigh, and I had a message waiting for me. It was from those strange anonymous bods at Nintendo who let you know when there's something new, or an update, available to download. Today it's the new BBC iplayer channel. The Wii's internet channel was reduced in price to nothing at all a little while ago, but from the offset things weren't quite right. For me, one of the biggest promises of the Wii's internet capa

Your Horoscope with our resident Astrologer, Madame Teakay: Scorpio (October 24 - November 22)
Scorpio - October 24 - November 22 Quiet and thoughtful, many people underestimate you and feel the sting in your tail as a result. Never more true than this month, when certain people will go off on one for no particular reason and blame it on the meek and restful soul that they think you are. Give it to 'em straight and make them curse the day t
