Yes, the spelling is intentional.

Every March (or around then), I go to this conference for Novell, called Brainshare. They (along with their vendor/sponsors) give away tons of cube toys and other swag. Often times, you can enter into a drawing of one type or another (or several, as the case may be), and the trade is usually your contact info for potential sales.

This year, I won a drawing prize from GroupLink, who do Help Desk and CRM software. I wish we could use their helpdesk stuff, it's really slick and lightweight.

Anyway, the prize was a Nintendo Wii. The sad bit was that GroupLink didn't have any with them at Brainshare other than their demo, and at the time they offered a $250 gift card or they would ship me one when they came available. I chose the latter, thinking it would be a few weeks. The availability part didn't work out between then and now (as 3 weeks turned into 3 months), so I asked about the gift card and they obliged. Thankfully, Target had them on ad this week and had a boatload of shipments this morning, so I got up bright and early and headed down to get one.

Cam and I have been off-and-on playing it most of the day.

I'll have to say, after playing the Wii Sports, it's quite a workout. I can understand now the blogs about people losing weight just playing this.
