Good piece on Nintendo and their plans with the Wii, their takeover of the market and their targeting of casual gamers. Shows just how switched on and smart they are, and how targeting a supposed niche has turned into the core market.

Place to see the new trailer for the Watchmen movie. Looks very good — am really keen to watch this. Check biggest version at usual Apple site.

After Wednesday’s disappointment of discovering emusic was denying me “Stay Positive”, I’ve had the sudden unexpected joy of finding the CD (with three extra tracks!) at JB Hi Fi already! Picked that up today, along with the Cars soundtrack for Will — he’s become such a little singer recently 
Then suddenly while watching the opening of Letterman tonight, I discover that The Hold Steady are musical guests … gold!
Then even better, I discover they’ve done a short comedy video that runs early in the show, really shows off the band, shows off some crazy fans, and plugs the hell out of them … double gold!
Now I really need to fix my mp3 player situation … even if it only has room for one album (or 4 or 5 of course!)
