Life’s funny. I responded to an email from Nokia about testing a music phone (forget that I’m not sure whether I would use a music phone, who says no to free use of a gadget? I love gadgets!) and got the phone promptly enough, but unfortunately for this little AT&T customer the phone was locked to T-Mobile. I sent a request for a code or a SIM card and got an invitation to enjoy some cell phone video fun in Los Angeles…

…that’s where you come in…

After watching the Guitar Hero wunderkind, BigB and I were inspired to get back into the swing of gaming. It had only been, what, 20 years? I’m exaggerating, of course. The last system I owned was a Sega Genesis and man, I could kick some serious Mortal Kombat II butt. I could rip out hearts and deal out fatalities (and Babalities!) with the best of them. Sometimes I’d disconnect the Genesis and plug in the NES. Mario and Luigi were my very own brothers, and we would sail into the clouds, collect coins, bounce those damned turtles around and save the girl on a nightly basis. That was high-tech stuff!

Adventure? Well, that was high-tech in its day, too. Somehow.

I have no idea how I EVER got through that game. All I know is that now I can’t. It’s totally embarrassing. My only consolation is that BigB can’t break his way out of Breakout’s first layer of bricks to save his life.

These games aren’t even in a console. They’re stuffed into old-skool joysticks that plug directly into the projector. Sweet hotness.

Some people find the Sanyo Xacti cameras very intuitive and easy to figure out.

Some don’t.

The BCH (Big City Hospital) where I work is a mixed bag in terms of technological advancement: way ahead of the times in some respects and way behind in others.

Oh, who am I kidding…we’re behind on everything. Way behind. Laughably behind.

Seriously, I work for morons.

Isn’t this the coolest!? Welcome to the new and improved MMM of M courtesy of the webby women of Swank Web Style (that’s “webby” as in “web talented” not as in “they have webbed feet”). With a little more tweaking the new site will be all set, but in the meantime I’m still posting over at MMM of M’s former home so mosey over there to see what’s new. The RSS feed will stay the same for you feed-reader types, but www.missbhavens.com is here to stay for you link followers.

Onward and upward (and outward and sideways and, I expect, occasionally backward)!
