E3 + New Mp3 Player = Delayed update.
Alrighty, so I haven’t updated in a bit. Why?
Let’s see. I’ve been working my arse off, and I’ve also been enjoying certain highlights of E3.
Namely the Nintendo Wii.
Yes, Nintendo’s done it again. I honestly truly believe that Nintendo may climb to the top of the ladder with this new system. Not only are the graphics looking amazing, but the games themselves look stunning.. Not to mention the new controller.
This E3 belongs to Nintendo. Why? Smash Brothers Brawl. If they didn’t show anything else, everyone would of still been happy. But they showed more than that. They showed Zelda: Twilight Princess, for GCN and Wii, and more..
Let’s say that if Nintendo markets this thing for 200$, I will be very, very happy. Virtual console, new controller, and tons of wonderful games coming for it.
But enough prattling on about the Nintendo Wii..
I got a new mp3 player.
As you remember from a previous entry, my Notmad Zen bricked.. died, keeled over and went to the big music player’s place in the sky. (I imagine Bach sits around and composes music for them to play all day/night long..).
After careful consideration I went with an IRiver H10 Color.

It’s got a whole host of features:
• Plays up to 600 hours of digital music
• 20GB of internal storage
• Vivid color display
• Ultra-intuitive interface with convenient touch strip
• Displays your digital photos
• Slim, lightweight design
• PlaysForSure enabled to play more of your music
• Rechargeable battery lasts up to 16 hours
• Built-in FM tuner and FM recorder
• Integrated voice recorder
• Ultra-fast USB 2.0 transfers
• Supports MP3, WMA, JPEG and TXT files
• Enhanced 3D audio (supports SRS WOW™)
Over all, I’m sad the Zen bricked, but, I paid for my iRiver by myself, with one paycheck.. and was it worth it?
HECK YES.
I love it, I carry it with me everywhere, along with the folding Sennheiser PX100 headphones they sent me for free with it. ($49.99 value.)
Aside from that, not much is going on, I gave my mother her mother’s day gift early (last night) it was a glass cat for her glass collectibles collection. Didn’t cost me very much, but she was very, very happy with it.. so this mother’s day will go over without a hitch.
I’ve got today, tomorrow, and Sunday off, so I think I’m going to kick back and relax. Next week I have 19.5 hours, with a chance to pick up three additional with the flex hours we have in the schedule. It’ll be a busy week.
Everyone have a great weekend!
