It’s for a good cause, and a great bunch of charities, so be sure to click on over tomorrow.
Congrats MVHS Football!
Congrats to the Mountain View High School Cougars on bringing home the first football state title to Bend in 71 years (more in-depth story on OregonLive). We were getting scoring updates during our dress rehearsal for our concert tomorrow. As someone who was captain of a state championship team at Mountain View (1995 Cross Country), let me be the first to say you will never forget this day. I will never forget holding that Oregon championship blue trophy in my hands, presenting it to the school and the student body at an assembly, and I know you will not, either. No matter where all your lives go after this, there will always be this day, and you will always share this moment. Congratulations to all of you!

Time Killer For The Day

I Know What I’m Going To Do With My Wii
Load time is always an issues with Wii games, it seems. Our kids play the Wii extensively and it’s always fun for parties at the Ortman house, but sometimes it’s a buzzkill when you’re waiting for the next song to load in Just Dance 2. It’d sure be nice if it could load off the hard drive.
There have been ways to hack the Wii before to play games off a hard drive, but they usually involved an ugly exploit or game hack to get it to work. Lifehacker shares a quick five-minute process to hack your Wii. Then you can run games off a hard drive, which will be really handy so the kids don’t keep scratching up my their disks.
Now if I can just convince the wife and kids to let me tinker…
