Good article by Gamespy on the Nintendo DS.  Pretty long, good pictures.

Update on becoming a robot.  I received a thoughtful email from a reader suggesting that I spend more time with robots to understand them.  Sort of like when I went to France for a few days to culturally immerse myself in French and do French things like eating chocolate with strangers in the hotel room. 

I would like to hang out with other neat robots like Marco the Qrio (Sony's little guy), but to be honest I'm still too intimidated.  Qrio is still too cool.  So instead, I have contacted my good friends Daft Punk.  Not only are they French, they are aslo people that want to be robots too.

I am also conducting an in depth study on the cultures that produce the best robot people in the world.  The results of the survey are as follows:

Best Robot People:

1.  French People -they try hardest to be robots, even though they are really just people.

"Le Big Mac c'est le merd" - see, underneath the cool robot gear, they are still French people.

2.  Japanese People - they make the robots that the French people and blogware people want to become.  They are like the Barry Manilow of robot world (they write the songs that make the whole world sing)

3.  http://Games.Blogware.com People - (click on link many times - it will bring you back the the page -serious! - try it, it's cool!) they appreciate the valiant efforts by the French avant guarde to become robots, and try to use Blogware to carefully detail the self-sacrifice and hardship they face in their own communities in becoming a robot.  Hats off to all of you!  Persevere!  Gambatte!  Oui! Oui!
