Looks like it’s official; Obama will be going head to head with McCain for the White House. According to this article he’s picked up the Democratic nomination.

Obama will be crowned the Democratic nominee at the convention in August and will face McCain in November’s election to choose a successor to President George W. Bush.

“Tonight, we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another,” Obama told a victory celebration in St. Paul, Minnesota, at the site of the Republican convention in September.

“Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States,” he told 17,000 cheering supporters. Another 15,000 gathered outside the arena.

I can’t say that I’m not just a little bit excited about this.

Traci picked up a Wii Fit about a week ago and those things are not easy to get!  She actually bought one from some dude on eBay because all the local stores had sold out.  Apparently after a national spot on a morning show the pre-orders went through the roof and there are just not enough extra to go around.

The Wii Fit, like the Wii itself, is pretty awesome.  It focuses on balance, stretching, cardio, and strength training.  Exercise is like cleaning the toilet to me; I hate every second I spend at it and can’t wait for it to be over.  This thing, however, is actually a lot of fun.  If I only had more free time I’d do it more often (that could be said for the Wii in general though).

It’s more expensive than a game by itself because it comes with the Wii Fit board.  The board and the controller are used in conjunction with the game.

It also tracks your progress and goals, and allows you to set up a personalized fitness plan.

Overall I think if you’re wanting to exercise even a little and you’ve got the cash pick one up.  Just don’t be surprised if it ends up on backorder.
