Nothing much to say, little time as well

Another delay in making posts, one that I regret more than any of my readers, I am sure. After all, writing seems a much better way to spend time than doing a shitty job, or applying for other shitty jobs, which is what has been keeping me away. But we got to do what we got to do, and there are no free lunches, etc.

So this US soldier returns home from Iraq after a year, and thanks to his faithful Wii, discovers his wife has been not so faithful to him. There were a few things about the story that made me think. For one, the soldier in question had his Wii with him for much of the time while he was "serving" in Iraq, to keep him company. Some war going on there, eh? For two, he trusts the Wii more than he trusts his wife, and with good reason. But is that the state of things to come, when we trust gadgets more than fellow humans? After all, machines can't really lie, can they? Of course, then there is the notion of privacy, and how much personal data is stored even on something like a gaming console. And then, I feel in the mood to add that the poor soldier deserved it for fighting an unjustified war.

Oh, most of you perhaps don't have a clue about the story itself. Feel free to read it at http://uk.news.yahoo.com/register/20071121/ttc-wii-grasses-up-cheating-wife-d1d76f9_1.html

While you are it, try something else. Go to Google maps, and search for your street address. You will probably find it. Now search for Mt Everest. Fucking idiots.
