It’s official!
Today, my Nintendo DS has officially become the coolest device I own. Why? I got the browser, now I can get on the web with it. Big deal, I hear you say, my cell phone can do that. Yeah buddy, but you are going bankrupt on your data-plan! Nintendo is so cool that I can go anwhere where there is wifi and use the web. That means that I can go to ANY McDonalds nationwide, pop open the DS and read my email FREE! Not only that, but how cool is this… Some hackers have been working hard to write all sorts of applications. Even a VNC client! If you’re not as geeky as some (read: as nerdy as me) you may have no idea what it means but, surely you have heard of desktop sharing. Imagine opening your DS and being able to remotely control your laptop at home. Or in my case, sitting at home and remotely controlling 40 server clear across town. WOW! I swear, if someone comes up with a good Voice over IP client. I am throwing away my cell phone. Are you listening Vonage?? A quick test established that… Twitter - Check, Jaiku - Check, Gmail - Check, my own web site… See below!
In honor of this amazing accomplishment I have named my little white toy… Nina Delaney. Her last name is the same as mine so her initials are: NDS (wink wink)

N. Delaney, that wonderous white toy, helped me type this… I *heart* the Nina but, here are some things it doesn’t do:
Flash - requires external d/l, not an option on DS cartridge, Listening to MP3’s - same… I am sure I will find more imposses, nvrtheless… Delaney is my NU luv!

Found good working IM for Nina (web based). So now I can update twitter using gtalk through ebuddy.com on the Nina D. Doesn’t get much geekier then that!

And doing crosswords with Nina is just a joy too. I mean, erasing a letter is as simple as writing a dash on the screen… Try that with you Sharpie on the paper the NY Times is printed on!
