Last weekend I watched a preview video for Wii Fit and was more thoroughly convinced that I needed to own the game the very second it came out here in the United States.
I should probably mention that in the last year and 6 months, I've lost 47 pounds. I haven't really found a consistent exercise that I can do near daily -- and I've tried quite a few. I always get bored after some time with my workout DVDs. Also, I refuse to purchase a gym membership so I need a workout I can do at home and stick with.
With another 15 pounds to lose, that's where Wii Fit will come in -- I'm hoping. I just read on wired.com that it has actually already come out here in New York City (the rest of the US will get it beginning Wednesday, May 21). I'm tempted to go down to the Nintendo store and buy it tomorrow, but Friday is pay day so I might as well wait until then. And that way I'll be able to give it a nice thorough review on the weekend.

An Introduction
Hello! Welcome to a blog which I hope will appeal to all other geek ladies out in the blogosphere (though I despise the word "blogosphere" with every inch of my 5 foot 6 being...). I'd like to take a minute to introduce myself.
I've been a geek for as long as I can remember. When I was just a little girl, I spent my days and nights editing "config.sys" and "autoexec.bat" files on an old Gateway 2000 personal computer to simply get it to start up properly. Later, I was introduced to Visual BASIC where I played around and created a simple application to give you a horoscope if you entered your astrological sign (by the way, I'm a Leo). As a teen, I spent most of my free time designing websites. I must have re-designed my own website at least 6 times in the span of 4 years. It was in my teen years that I decided to enter the freelance world. My friend's wise words, "you know, you should charge money for this!" inspired me to go for it. Since then, I've been doing simple freelance web design and development for local musicians and artists. I eventually decided to major in Computer Science at New York University and have been developing websites (with benefits now!) ever since. I currently live and work in New York City.
