Hi everyone,

A recent post in my iPod blog mentioned how the person thought other MP3 players are better than iPods.  That person is not alone.

There are many people who do not like iPods.  In fact, there is a website< ...

Those white iPod earbuds look cool, but there are many other headphones that can make your iPod sound much, much better.

Okay, you look around and see everyone walking around wearing those iPod earbuds.  They look so cool, but did you know that they are not the best things to use to listen to music?

Elite Beat Agents is another one of my favourite games.  There's no violence, just lots of great graphics, pumpin' music, and addictive gameplay.

If you checked Internet game ranking websites in December 2006, you would have seen this game at the top of a lot of lists.  It also won GameSpot's "game of the year."

So what is it?

Well, you might read the title and assume it involves shooting badguys or some other form of solve-problems-through violence type of a story.  But you would be wrong.  In fact, there is no violence in the game at all.

In the game, you help a team (called the Elite Beat Agents) as they travel the world and help various people in different, comical problems.  For example, the first perso ...

This is my current favourite game right now: Brain Age. 

This is a game available for the Nintendo DS.  It is a game created by a Neurologist that follows the premise that simple, daily mental exercises can keep one's brain healthy and even prevent the early onset of neurological disease.  This premise made this game a run-away hit in Japan when it was first released in 2006, especially among older people who wanted to prevent Alzheimers disease.  I'm not sure if it can truly keep you healthy, but I do know it is a fun and addictive game. 

The game leads you through different mini-games that focus on different parts of the brain: math-fact quizzes, oral reading, drawing, memory games, and more.  This is one of only a few games I know of that is popular with ...
