Fantasy, 7/10 – February 2006 This 6th adventure in Narnia is taken by Eustace from the last book and a new character called Jill Pole. They get a break from school and are given a task by Aslam. The children and the reader are taught that appearances can be deceptive and even those who look […]
Mario Kart DS
DS,Battle Racing,9/10 – January 2006 This is my first WIFI game. What this means is I can play 3 other REAL people from anywhere in my house. They might be in America, Europe, Mongolia, it doesn’t matter, what matters is that they are a so much more worthy and fun opponent than a AI simulation. […]
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (C.S.Lewis)
Fantasy, 8/10 – January 2006 This is the fifth out of the seven books that make up the chronicles of Narnia.

All Tomorrow’s Parties (William Gibson)
Sci-fi, 3/10 – January 2006 This novel wraps up the strand taken from Virtual Light through Idoru (the bridge series). I was disappointed because it lacked action and there isn’t much actually that happens overall, as a story. It follows the same Gibson format in that people are caught up in a technological/social paradigm shift […]

It finds and sets it’s clock automatically when it is powered up. It has a nice 7 day EPG that you […]
