Posting from my Wii. I was just playing the Flash-based Wii games the Homestar Runner boys made, which you get if you Google [videlectrix Wii]. Wonderful low-budget homebrew!

Now I'm gonna try watching Lost on my TV via the ABC website. Awesome.

Edit from my Mac: Well, the Lost thing didn't work; ABC's website is too baroque for the Wii Opera beta - excuse me, "trial" - to grok. But damn, the smoothness of Flash movies and games running on Wii really wears down my resistance to a Volity/Flash marriage. (Which other developments has been wearing down already, anyway.)

I just got the chance to use a Wii (not mine) yesterday. It's a impressive machine, though the games that make the best use of the controller are also, as yet, kind of simplistic. My favorite is actually the Wii Sports bowling game, which replicates the experience of real bowling to a remarkable degree, though it's a little easier than the real thing. Wii Play Lazer Hockey is nice too-- the true successor to Pong.
