Well, it's the last day here at E3. I'm pretty exhausted, and am kind of looking forward to heading home and conking out on the bed. But hey, it's been pretty great so far. Yesterday I had a chance to play Mirror's Edge and Rhythm Heaven, both of which basically made the trip worthwhile for me. You can catch up with some of my impressions over on Destructoid, but for now here's me telling my favorite man in the world, Chad Concelmo, about the more interesting instruments available in WiiMusic. Woo hoo!

Summer Road Trip '08

2 comments

Although we typically post on Team Vox to let you know about things that are going on with Vox (to, uh, state the obvious), once in a while, we like to let you know about other cool things that are happening around the blogosphere. And we think the idea of four hilarious mommy bloggers traveling across the U.S. on their way to the BlogHer '08 conference - all the while blogging and video blogging the journey - is one trip you will not want to miss.

Four adventurous bloggers from the Silicon Valley Moms Group were selected to participate in the Summer Road Trip '08 and blog about their travels, hotel stays, media appearances, time away from their families, and life on the road. Six Apart helped them partner up with General Motors, who provided the blogging mommies with a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV to help make their journey comfy, safe, and a little more green.

In case you're not familiar with them, SV Moms is a group of over 200 bloggers who showcase the ups, downs, outrages, struggles, victories, and everyday humor of motherhood. There are currently nine regional and demographically tailored sites that give mothers from D.C., New Jersey, the Deep South, Rocky Mountains, L.A., and Silicon Valley a powerful voice and sense of camaraderie across the country. Whether you're a mother, a child, or just a person who enjoys a good blog, you'll really love reading the words of these amazing women.

Packed and Ready!

The moms buckled into their Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV on July 11th and even got an encouraging message from Katie Couric to kick things off! They are currently somewhere in the middle of America making their way to San Francisco where they'll attend an SV Moms Group Party, as well as BlogHer '08.

You do not want to miss these entertaining and irreverent bloggers -- or their spontaneous contest giveaways! -- as they blog from the road. Experience the journey at MomRoadTrip.com.

And let us know about your summer road trip - or plane/boat/bus trip - in the comments! (I like to live vicariously.)

Can't talk much as I have plenty of posts to write up for Destructoid, but things are pretty alright so far. This morning I woke up at 6 to be ready in time for the Nintendo press conference at 9, which sadly was pretty disappointing. Their biggest announcement was the introduction of the WiiMotion Plus, which essentially just makes the Wiimote work the way it was supposed to in the first place. The end all announcement was WiiMusic, which as you can tell, I did not have the most riveting impressions of.

Since then, I've been running around to various meetings... rapidly taking notes and trying to maintain a clam sense of sanity. I have yet to make it to the showroom floor to try any games hands-on, but all in due time I'm sure. Oh, and I'm also trying on Bionic arms. Pretty cool right?

p.s. I got a haircut :D

Last night, I went to my local Internet and found some really fantastic things! Since I haven't posted in a while (well, I did just go post on my other blog... actually) I figured I'd brush the dust off this blog and encrust it with some Internet G-E-M-Z! Here we go!:

1. V-E-L-O-U-R-I-A

The most amazing little girl with her most amazing father (and my good friend) singing Velouria by Pixies. I actually saw this a long time ago, but now I'm sharing!

2. The Faces of Anime - Bill Clinton

Do you live in or around Cincinnati, Ohio? If so, you're in luck because Scott and the Queen City Voxers Group have organized a Vox user meetup!

If you do attend the meetup, have a great time and please take lots of pictures and send them to me so I can post them in Team Vox for everyone to see!

Thank you so much to Scott for organizing this meetup. Wish I could be there!

I was having a pretty miserable day today. A vicious combination of stress, frustration, and loneliness typically will do the trick. Thank the gods that I have good friends, like ee.en, who even after he was drenched with my personal sorrows, went out of his way to send me this song. Interpret it how you like, but listening to A Postcard to Nina was exactly what I needed.

A Postcard To Nina

Nina I just want to check in
'cause I think about you every second
So I send you this postcard just to say
Don't let anyone stand in your way

Cathartic aural experiences also go well with a hefty dose of internet lulz. I took this Internet Culture quiz out of boredom, and was awfully pleased with my 184 score (as demonstrated below). Alex took the quiz too, but since he knows teh HTML's, ultimately pwned me with his score of OVER 9000. Thank you, Alex.

Although almost every day at Six Apart is Take Your Dog to Work Day, Friday was extra special because it was the official Take Your Dog to Work Day! Plus, as lovers of blogs and animals, we think it's great that active blogger and Human Society's President and CEO, Wayne Pacelle, thinks having dogs around the office is a good reminder of "who we're working for."

We realize some people have it ruff and aren't lucky enough to be able to bring their dog to work, but hopefully these pictures taken at Six Apart last Friday will get your tails wagging... And let me tell you, it's harder than it looks to get all the doggies and their fetching owners in one picture.
