Create a Wii-Friendly Home Page with Wii Browser

2:15AM Kevin Purdy | Want to create an easy-to-navigate home page for the browser on your Wii or any other? Wii Browser, a free page creation tool, lets you create a page full of big, easy-to-click links to set as your homepage. You can also easily edit or rearrange your links from inside your Opera-powered Wii browser, as the site uses a number-based passkey system instead of requiring a login/password, which can get a bit tedious with a Wiimote-controlled keyboard. The main value here is in being able to edit your links from your computer browser rather than through slow screen typing, but it also gives you a Wii-friendly page you can browse to from any system. For another Wii homepage idea, check out Google’s Wii-formatted Reader. Wii Browser [via eHub] More »

The two highest ranking daily champions will playoff on the big screen in Garden Square at Melbourne Park, and the winner gets tickets to see the Men’s Final and a playoff against Mark Philippoussis. I’m betting the ‘pou will lose this one – unless he’s also an airchair athlete, I reckon any console-jockey geek who plays him will have the upper hand. :) More »
