It seems that Facebook, Twiiter, Pinterest, and Tumblr are controlling the internet these days. When I want to research a new company, product, or even a person, the first question I ask is, “Do they have a Facebook?” This is not because I expect to find all of the answers there, but because it has become a central hub of knowledge.

Nintendo Classic Commercials Never Let Us Down
Yesterday I posted about the new Kim Cattrall Nintendo commercial and how it mixes two pop culture icons, Sex in the City and Mario (Mairio if you pronounce it like she does). It is a cool commercial, but it made me miss the old Nintendo commercials. The ones that were cheesy, but had some actual thought behind them.

I had hopes that we could now begin to use our own customized accounts rather than trying to remember the looooooong friend code number.
