Like Cooking Mama, but less...pointless and excruciating

I love it when people interact with technology in ways that make their lives better, not just good in a different way. It happens less often than many, especially those in the IT industry, might think. Ya know that commonly held and intrinsically flawed idea that increased speed means increased efficiency? Please. In a single statement that obliquely refers to my main point on this topic and is deliciously ironic, you don't have the time to read all I have to say about that.

No, today's story is Nintendo. They have a knack for shattering preconceived notions we have about certain devices we use. So it should be no surprise that they were the first ones to pull off an application that hasn't yet worked on smartphones and PDAs, despite numerous attempts. Who would have thought that swiping your kid's DS could be so yummy? And here is the front page to that blog. Great reading if you're an executive chef in training; agonizing torture if you're hungry.

And to be fair, the title for today's entry is true but a little misleading: while both pointless and excruciating, Cooking Mama is pretty fun!
