mysticalforestLong ago there was a princess named Sophia who lived on the island of Atlantis. Atlantis was said to be the most beautiful place in the world, but there was one problem: It was forbidden there to teach girls how to read or write. Unhappy with this, Sophia often sneaked into the Library of Atlantis, the greatest library ever built, and secretly learned how to read. Armed with her new knowledge, she soon made a terrible discovery: Atlantis was sinking. But when she told her father, King Canute, that the sea was rising, neither he nor any of his advisers believed her as she was just a girl. To find out what happened to Atlantis and Sophia and how Girls Guild came to be formed, download and print the free e-book...There's a secret code, secret handshake, symbols, and all under Creative Commons. Delightful!

mysticalforestIt was a fitting end to a grotesque political career that will stumble on for a while like a mortally wounded moose. Her stated reasons for stepping down included everything from "frivolous" ethics charges to Something Awful making fun of her Down syndrome son.Thanks to
The purpose of this article is to apologize to Sarah Palin for that last part, but first I feel that a bit of history is in order.

mysticalforestI worry that it might be.
Here's the deal: Every time I think about picking up my DS to play it, I think of a game I'd rather be playing on my iPhone. And why not? The iPhone has a substantially bigger screen yet has a smaller overall form factor and has an overall more pleasant interface.
And when I think of shopping for a game on the DS (it has been months since I looked at what's out there) I think: But I could buy something and have it and play it on my iPhone in five minutes. For the DS, I'd have to go to the store or wait for shipping.
And iPhone games are substantially cheaper. And I can keep all my games in the device at once. I don't have to carry cartriges.
Where the DS has the iPhone beat is depth of game. All the games I have except three are quick playing games, meaning that it takes just a few minutes to play the complete game. Sure there are ones with infinite levels, but once you play a few, you've experienced all the game has to offer, pretty much. I have an RPG, but it's no Castlevania.
I'm sure such deep games are coming (and I'm sure I'm overlooking some that're offered already) but for now it seems the DS has more games with depth.
Is that enough? I guess not since I'm playing games on my iPhone a million times more than on my DS.
I'll still keep it though, for rare plane trips. The battery lasts for a flight and saves my iPhone battery to boot. :)
