Wiiii!!!

The weirdest thing happened to me today.

Wanting to get a nintendo wii, I decided to email this person on craigslist who was selling it for $380. After a couple email exchanges we decided to think of a place to meet.

Then the craziest thing happened!

She emailed me, saying (paraphrasing) "I hope you don't mind me asking this. Do you also work at Google? I remember your name from somewhere, and I just looked you up on the intranet. Do you want to meet at work instead?"

WTF mate again! What are the odds!

But then again, only geeks would camp out to get a Wii before the holidays.

When we met up for the exchange, she explained that she had gotten many higher offers from other people, but she decided to hook up a fellow Googler for the lowest price. Woo!

So I've got the system hooked up to my TV now. I must admit that it is quite addicting. Now I just need a second wiimote and nunchuck...
