    I believe the Weather channel is available now too… haven’t had my Wii plugged in for a few days, so I’m not sure. (I end up taking it over to people’s houses as often as I play it at home… I wish it had a handle like the Gamecube did!)

    Weather is available now, and I have a link about that going up later today.

    I got home last night to the CD slot blinking blue at me. I had new e-mail telling me that the Weather channel was available. It’s pretty cool. The five day forecast is nice, and there’s some fun little Google Earth-like features in it, too.

    They do make a backpack that’s specially made for carting your Nintendo Wii around town. I saw it at Toys R Us not too long ago.

    I notice that Opera is calling it a “Trial” browser. The real question is will the “Full” version be free as Nintendo said or will they be charging for that one?

    I end up using my laptop bag they gave me from work to cart Mr. Wii around. I rarely take my laptop home… I don’t need an excuse to do MORE work!

    I totally forgot about this happening…This explains the strange blue glow on my Wii when I left for work this morning. Guess I’ll try it out this weekend.
