The N-Gage, a cellphone/handlheld game system was released today. It's a disaster in the making, for the simple reason that even though even kids have cell phones these days, they don't actually use them to play games. If kids want to play games, they'll use their Game Boy Advance, not their cell phone. I've always hated the concept of the all-in-one does everything device, because it does everything mediocrely and none of it particularly well.
William Steig, dead at 95. William Steig is well known as the creator of Shrek, but my first encounter with the works of William Steig was a book called Doctor DeSoto, about a dentist mouse who helps a fox out with his dental problems.
