re: Hey, today is Earth Day! How's this for a good idea: unplug your X-box when not in play

Yeah, it just 'started' one night. I suspect it has something to do with WiFi. But, I turned it off just in case it was connnecting to other Wii's and plotting a Cylon-esque revolution.

Come to find out, this was a wise energy decision. I'm taking the high road on this one and sticking to it! :)

The better question is: what exactly is the Wii plotting at night when it starts glowing like that? The first time I saw it, it was looking like E.T. was invading my living room...

Okay, I tried this over the holidays. Great idea, but not the best service.

1. I tried to find the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in Lynnwood, WA. It totally didn't understand me. So, I tried saying "government" thinking that might get me to a non-business category and it was confused. I hung up and called 411 and paid the $1.99

2. On Thanksgiving, we wanted to go to the movies. So, I called to see what we could find and it easily found theaters near me. However, moving between theaters via the menu system was a pain--I wasn't sure how to get back and when I did get there, it didn't take me to the theater selection menu as expected. You almost needed a Windows tree structure in your head.

Also, I made the mistake of trying to repeat the movie list to my sweetie--but the service mistook my voice as a prompt and asked if I wanted to start over. I understand, but grr...
