NES Classic

The NES Classic comes with a nice collection of games. The cord for the controller seems to be too short, but stores still can't keep them on the shelves. I think it might be a good way to introduce my daughter to gaming systems - in contrast to all the tablet and phone games/apps.

And some clever folks have figured out how to add other games.

Pokemon Go

Funnies... even Ham related!

Dear @TSA,

I caught 4 pokemon inside the secured area of the airport. What, exactly, are you protecting us from? Apparently nothing.

Pokemon Go

Even the Knoxville Police are hip to the phenomenon that is Pokemon Go:

Multiple Displays

So the evolution of the Wii includes a second display in the Wii U console. I've often thought that TV of the future would include multiple screens. The primary screen would be reserved for the main content while the others would display data (track position, telemetry in car races; stats for football games, etc.). My parents have Comcast and the iPad app is really cool. You can view the guide on your iPad and change channels or set recordings. It is almost enough to make me sign up for Comcast again and buy an iPad. Mo screens, less problems I always say.
