Here's a brief round-up of the stuff on my mind.

E3
I caught a few hours of G4's wall-to-wall E3 coverage this week, and it was kind of fun. I've never been very much of a console gamer (the game that excited me most was "Spore" for the PC) but the Nintendo Wii looked great. I'm not sure I'll be willing to spend $300+ on it, but it looks pretty cool. And in the end, wanting is almost always better than having.

Do you play video games at all?

Series Finales
"Malcolm in the Middle" had it's series finale tonight, and it was much better than their recent episodes have been. It was funny, and it ended things in a satisfying way. If Jane Kaczmarek doesn't win an Emmy, it better be because the statues got stolen again. And "That 70's Show" is wrapping up Thursday. I haven't regularly watched that show for several years, so I'm not really sure what's going on (I think there's some site I can go to to find that out, but I have no idea where to find it). And to be honest, I've never found that show incredibly funny. But alas, if I watch a show for more than one episode, I feel like I have to see the finale. Hopefully Topher Grace will make a last minute appearance. It's the least he could do.

What series finale are you most looking forward to?

Grey's Anatomy
The season finale is tomorrow, and it looks like it's going to be nuts. The first part was tonight and... I don't even know what to think. Say what you will about this just-another-hospital-drama, they know how to do a cliffhanger. And tonight's was just the prelude to tomorrow's real cliffhanger. It just reminds me that this year has been one of the best TV years in a long, long time. It's a good time to be a TV geek.

Wireless Networking
I hooked up my grandma's computer to our wireless network with a little adapter-thingy, and my computer didn't even seem to notice. We have a good protection program, but apparently anyone can use our network. That's scary. Luckily, I don't live in an apartment building or high-density area (It was a stretch just to pick up the network at grandma's, and she's across the street) so I don't think I have to worry much.

Do you use a wireless network? Are you scared?

Scary?
My family today was having a conversation about how they ran around freely wherever they wanted to when they were kids, and how they'd never let their kids do that. But is this country really that much more violent than it was thirty years ago? Or is that every bad thing that happens get reported for one-hundred hours on five different channels until everyone who's remotely involved has been interviewed twenty times? Thirty years ago there was no cable news, no internet news sites, no lack of actual, important news, and no public interest for all of the tiny bad things that happened. Sure, there were similar stories that garnered lots of attention, but compare those to the stories that get attention nowadays. I'm not going to mention specifics, but I think you catch my drift. Maybe I'm just a cynic.

Do you think crime really is worse today, or do you think the constant media barrage has contributed to national fear?

That's all I've got for now. Thanks for reading, and have a great week. :)
