What's Noo?
A blog for noobies by Patric Welch, techie and all around fun guy.
Remember the ads for Klondike Bars? They started by asking you what you would do for a Klondike Bar and finished by showing people doing ridiculous things, all in the name of a Klondike Bar. Well, I think the Wii Fit I have sitting in my office right now is the technology equivalent of a Klondike Bar. As many of you know, I already have a Wii Fit. It was tough to get but thanks to Amazon.com's text alerts I was able to procure one several months ago. The funny thing is, after I bought my Wii Fit, I never… Continue reading...
Just over two weeks ago, I wrote about the horror of seeing what the Wii Fit deemed I look like based on my weight and BMI. I vowed to immediately start exercising and eating better. I am happy to report that as of today, there is 3.1% less of me to go around. That's the percentage of my body weight I have lost since purchasing the Wii Fit.

I hesitate to call the Wii… Continue reading...

Instead of letting this get to me I decided to channel my annoyances and visualize what the perfect Blockbuster store would look like. That is, my own personal Blockbuster. I think it would look like this: The shelves would contain new releases only. I can't remember the last time I went to Blockbuster and rented anything other than a new release. It would only stock new releases that have 5 or… Continue reading...

Three traits define my shopping habits: I almost always try to find what I am looking for online before I head out to a brick and mortar store. I hate waiting. I hate waiting even more when at the end of the wait I find out what I want isn't in stock. These three traits basically sum up why I don't have a Wii Fit yet. It's not available online, except for perhaps, eBay. It is available at some brick and mortar stores such as Target but they only receive a few in each week and you still have to… Continue reading...
