Thanks to my sister and brother-in-law, wii are now the proud owners of a brand new Nintendo Wii system. Shiny! We just got it last night, so I haven’t had too much time to fiddle with it. Thomas and I created a couple of Mii’s and did a bit of bowling.

I also downloaded the Internet Channel, which is a special version of the Opera browser. Of course, the first site I visited with the Wii was my own…

I’ve only played with the unit for a short time, but I’m very impressed. The Wiimote is a very neat controller that makes the games more engaging, especially games like bowling and boxing.
