I don’t really get excited about consoles, but the WiiU’s newly announced enormous, screen bearing controller looks to me like it will be joining the Wiimote and Kinect as a delightful object for hacking- lots of buttons and sensors, radio (presumably Bluetooth), large screen, and high-volume consumer electronics pricing. It should enable some neat multi-player dynamics (always Nintendo’s strong point), which I honestly expect to be a load of fun, but I’m more interested in seeing the inevitable uses as automation controllers and the like.

As an immigrat … I come from another culture. And I’m aware of the fact that people elsewhere in the world think differnetly from us. I can, sort of, see us, us Americans, with their eyes. And not all that I see is attractive. I see an insular people who are insensitive to foreign sensibilites, who are lazy, obese, complacent, and increasingly perplexed as to why we are losing our place in the world to people who are more dynamic than us and more disciplined.
