Nintendo replacing buggy Zelda discs. (Aeropause)
Even though I finished the game with no trouble, this makes me want to request a new copy of Twilight Princess just in case.

Sports DO Cause Violence (Game Girl Advance)
I will bang on this drum at every opportunity. Sports inspire far more violent acts than video games, yet nobody ever dares to suggest that sports (particularly youth sports) be banned or otherwise hobbled in the way that certain legislators and lawyers want to do to games. Gaming is demonized without cause, as is all new media.

Microsoft is Dead (Paul Graham via Daring Fireball)
"No one who cares about computers uses Microsoft's anyway." It's so true. Offering up my own anecdotal evidence, the only people I know who are still beholden to Windows machines are the Amateurs (who use Windows for the same reason that they always buy a Ford, for example) and the Gamers (who use their PC as a highly-customizable PlayStation). Neither party cares about their computer: the Amateurs hate it because it's a mess and never seems to work correctly, and the Gamers only care about the ends (the game) not the means (which explains the success of the Xbox; Gamers jumping for an easier experience without losing fidelity). Programmers, Creators and Artists are all on other systems.

Epcot Mexico's Gran Fiesta Tour (Mice Age)
Great photo tour of a new addition to Walt Disney World, the revamped boat ride at the Mexico pavilion. On a family trip there 15+ years ago, I found a $5 bill on that ride, which, in retrospect, was probably just a dinner tip that blew off a table.
