  Yea, I'm such a nerd.  Saw the new Star Trek the other week with Justin and Berton and loved every part of it.

  So it was only a MUST that I had to get my hands on the blu ray set on the original series, season 1 (1966).

  They've added new effects and cleaned up the image so it looks really, really impressive on HD.  You can really see the sweat coming off Kirk...I felt much better cause I thought I sweat bad.

  AWESOME!  I also got the blu ray set for the Star Trek original motion pictures.  Justin has asked me to wait cause he's never seen any...It's like staring at candy and I'm dying to check these out. I guess I'll be watching the bonus features for a while.

  The other thing I picked up attaches to the wii controller.  That's the wii motion plus.  Once you attach it, the games will support 1:1 motion.  In other words percise accuracy with the way you play game.

  Check it out:

  Now I can play REAL tennis...well...better than wii sports tennis. hahaha.  Impressive stuff as you can twist the racket and do backhand spins.  I'm not sure why Nintendo didn't include this from the start..I'm guessing the tech wasn't possible at the time.

  Now, I can't wait till XBOX Project NATAL arrives.  I think most of you have seen this footage:

  And then this next video which is kinda sad. I thought it was crazy mad cool, but then everybody around me seems to think, its kinda wrong.  Sooner or later kids won't leave home and will have computer friends:

  I still think its nuts how Milo can interact with you.  Patrick Chow started to fantasize about Milo being a girl and well...so wrong...especially with the camera...I'll just leave the rest. 

  I'm off to play a little Tennis!
