I appreciate the compliment. Yes...Thanks Anonymous. I appreciate the compliment. Yes. I am a grumpy old man. The problem for twits is that I am right and people like you come to my blog to read this stuff.<br /><br />I wonder if you'd come and read (AND COMMENT) if I wrote about BS like how wonderful everything is all the time (pretty flowers, balloons, your haircut). Have a clue.<br /><br />PS: Pink Floyd is a very poor example, "Leave them kids alone"? That grammar is worse than third grade. If you are going to quote some heavy metal group (to a professional radio person who has been in the music business for over 30 years no less and has met Steve O'Rourke in person) then you could at least quote some intelligent metal band like Spinal Tap. Pink Floyd!?

As Pink Floyd says, "Leave them kids alone........" let the kids have some fun as they see fit without grumpy gits dumping on them all the time, you know you adults that have actually screwed this world up for them.......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-75027002712303080772011-06-30T18:56:06.294+09:002011-06-30T18:56:06.294+09:00I tend to blame the way the portable consoles are ...I tend to blame the way the portable consoles are being used rather than the console itself or the software. Like Bob in Chiba, for example, it is entirely possible to have one of those without being entirely unhealthy about it. <br />Being a part time hardcore gamer, I admit to occasional unhealthy binges, but I do spend time doing things other than play some game. These days especially in my 'old age' my eyes can't take it anymore anyway! <br />Moderation is key as well as balance...Murasaki Shikibuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956944811391367016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-54225344906142327142011-06-30T15:57:59.529+09:002011-06-30T15:57:59.529+09:00Just wanted to chime in to say that I really enjoy...Just wanted to chime in to say that I really enjoy your blog. I find it insightful and amusing, and like the "tell it how it is" style. <br /><br />I couldn't agree more about the way many parents will let either the TV or the DS be the babysitter. I do allow my daughter to play Kanji games with the DS,(used the right way, handheld systems can be educational; I even studied for the Japanese 簿記certification on the DS) and we will occasionally play Super Mario Bros. together. I think the difference is that we do it together, for 30 mins max, and then do something else like read together or play board games as a family. Admittedly, the 30 min Mario sessions are more for my benefit, and she just humors me for now ;-)Bob in Chibanoreply@blogger.com
