New Feature - Countdown Timer

Mario Kart is quite possibly one of the best video games on the planet. The new Wii version is one of the most anticipated game releases of the year for good reason. The new Wii version will allow you to play against other players online. This means that our very good friends Colin and Shannon in Texas can play against us as if they are sitting in our living room. Sweet! :-)

We have our copy of Mario Kart for Wii on pre-order. It should be available either on, or shortly after, the release date of April 27th. To commemorate this landmark date ;-) I have added a countdown timer to the side bar. It is counting down to 10:00am on April 27th. 10:00am is when the Game Stop where we pre-ordered Mario Kart opens. Jenn and I can’t wait.

After I put up the Mario Kart countdown timer I thought about what other events are coming up that are worthy of a countdown timer.  Our camping trip on April 18th came to mind.  So, I added it to.

Check out the new countdown timer and tell me what you think.

Definitely in order is a “countdown to summer” timer.
Other suggestions:
countdown to Andy’s freedom (exam ends at 4pm on May 9, 2008).
countdown to RAGBRAI 2009 (Sean and Andy should ride together…)

we can’t wait to join you in all the fun. We’ll have to set up some dates soon after all this traveling is done. Have fun this week! I’m in Mesa, AZ.

If you play at our house we could hook up online with Colin and Shannon and all six of us could play at the same time! I can’t wait!
