So I immediately went out to the next electronics store and bought a Wii and a second Wiimote. And what should I say, the weekend was a blast. We had loads of fun with the included WiiSports, especially with Tennis. Granted the graphics looks really outdated on the big 37″ screen, but what it lacks in graphics it makes up in gameplay. And the Wiimote controller just has this let-my-try-appeal which you can’t resist. So now I need some more games, preferably those with a high WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor). So if you have any secret tips, please let me know.

In the meantime I started working on my first OSX application. It will be a utility to securely store your passwords and it will use the PasswordSafe file format, so that you can exchange data across multiple platforms. I know that there exists a PasswordSafe Java version which will run on OSX, but I don’t like it very much in terms of usability. It just does not feel like a Mac application, and all other Mac applications in that area can not handle the PasswordSafe file format which is for me absolutely necessary. Anyway, I think this is a good area to master Objective-C and Cocoa and I will keep you updated on the progress… provided that I will not spend all my time in front of the Wii ;)
