- I finally got a Wii and it'll be coming by the end of next week! If you're still looking for one, try Techbargains' Wii Finder page or Nintendo Wii Finder.
- For those who have been checking me out over at Vox, I predict I will be blogging at more and more these days now that I got…my new phone!
Yeah, I kinda lost my old phone and bought this one using the insurance. I love it though. What's messed up though is that my new phone was found and is on its way back to me. Oh well…out with the old, in with the Nokia E62!
- The police here in Atlanta have really lost their damn minds. Just recently, there's the tragedy of the 92-year-old woman getting shot down in her home and before that, there's the DeKalb county police with their use of excessive force/shoot to kill actions. So far, there have been eleven fatal shootings in the county…so believe me I'm looking twice if I need to go to Decatur or something. What in the hell is really going on in Atlanta? Hell, I've had my run-ins with the cops here in Atlanta and the last thing I want my smart-mouthed ass to be is a chalk outline on Peachtree.
- Michael Richards: Talk about the Seinfeld curse. Your career is over, dude. Over. But what's worse is that these sorts of incidents seem to be bubble up to the surface of the media's attention, there's a little static about it, and then it fades into the background. $5 says that while this incident should end Richards' career, chances are he'll end up on some low-rate comedy on Fox or CBS that'll get cancelled in two episodes or less. In other words, folks will think this kind of racist, idiotic behavior is OK because someone in Hollywood does it, goes on a talk show and gives a half-assed mea culpa and we're all going to roll over and accept it.
- What's the cut off age for having a crush? I'm curious…seeing as I have two now, both of whom live in the same state, and at this rate, are completely unrequited (since one of them is partnered). Damn!
- The forums for SXSWi 2007 are up…and…yeah, I'm a little underwhelmed. The Content forums are nearly all about video (not that there's anything wrong with that). There's no "Blogging While Black" forum, something which I am sure the numerous naysayers of earlier this year are happy about. I think the forum for us to check out though are going to be The Digital Ethnorati and Bridging the Online Cultural Divide. I bet these are Liza Sabater's brainchildren, and if they are, they will be highlights of the conference. Who knows? I may even show my face in the place at next year's conference.
- Rather than make this a hugely long Asides, I'll cut it off here and continue what I wanted to say in Asides #31. The BET Hip-Hop Awards, the Gay Bloggies, Black Atlanta and White Atlanta, Rangel wanting to reinstate the draft…trust me, I gots plenty to jawbone about.
